Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for those that don't have a lot of time - schedules will work around you! Also for those who want to have a whole college experience without the large tuition bill. Lakeland is great for just about everyone that wants an education - there are many different types of people that attend here! You can see it as soon as you walk in the door - this place is for you!
Tips for prospective students If you really want to get an education without paying the tens of thousands, there are plenty of degrees at Lakeland. Nursing, Radiology, Computer Systems, Firefighter, etc. There is definitely something for everyone. One tip that I tell EVERYONE I know is to make sure to set up an appointment with a counselor to go over the courses you need to take to complete your degree. A lot of people waste their time taking classes that don't count for their degree! Plan ahead - make sure you are taking the right classes. Also, go on a college tour! There was so much that I learned form my tour after having been there for an entire year already! You will definitely get the inside scoop!
Bang for the buck It really is worth all the money put into your education. There are many free services here also. Tutoring, Writing, Career Services, Tours, Women Support, Counseling, etc. I don't want to leave all these luxuries! Oh and FREE PARKING!!!
Am enjoying being here I really love coming to school! I am usually excited about my classes, even in subjects I don't particularly like! There are so many different clubs to join - there's something for everyone. You can really find your place here.
Am learning a lot The professors here are very knowledgeable. They are very welcoming and seem to truly care about their students. A lot of my professors are also my tutors! There is so much knowledge contained in these walls, it's hard not to learn a lot here!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Safety is there for just that, campus safety. If you have late night classes, and do not want to walk alone to your vehicle, there are call stations located through out the campus. Campus Safety will come and escort you to your vehicle, your safety is their concern.
Bang for the buck A person can get the higher education they want at Lakeland, without the costly tuition of other schools.
What to do for fun There are different sporting events to watch, and activities and groups to join, while attending Lakeland Community College. Of course if you have more time, there is shopping at the local mall also.
Food and Dining I, personally have not checked out the dining hall. I do know where it is located, and the smells that come out of there are pretty good. There are also vending machines for the quick snack located through out the facility.
Dorm Life I do not know anything about dorm life.
Academic Rigor As with any academics, if you want to succeed, you have to strive for that success. There is a full staffed library to help with any research you may have, along with any other help you may need. There is also, tutoring available if you are in need of a little extra help. It is there to be taken advantage of !
Tips for prospective students Make Lakeland one of the colleges you look into for future education. They offer almost as much as some of your higher priced schools, for less money. You will still have the College atmosphere you might be looking for, but closer to home, and less expensive.
In three sentences I enjoy attending Lakeland Community College. The class sizes are not huge, the staff is very helpful. It is very easy to locate all classes.
