    Bang for the buck

    Pretty cheap for a private college. Books are way too expensive but upperclassmen sell there's to new students for reasonable prices.

    Am enjoying being here

    It's an all around decent school to attend. There's fun days and boring days.

    Am learning a lot

    You will learn alot even before classes start. Freshmen classes are easy but stay focus your junior and senior year.

    Great for these types of students

    Lane College is great for students who love music and are very active in sports. Also its for students who would like to broaden their horizon.

    Tips for prospective students

    A tip for prospective students is dont com to college with the mindset of thinking that they are going to tell you things like you are a baby. The college professors will tell you one time and its up to you to meet that deadline. Put work first before you decide to party because your friends won't always be there for you and help you. So make sure you do for yourself.

    Bang for the buck

    The books and other necessities were pretty reasonable. And thy believed in everyone having a chance no matter what the money looked like, they will help you set payment plans and work along with your budget.

    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoyed the company of other students and meeting people outside of TN.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned not just alot academically but alot spiritually. Not only do they focus on worldly things but Godly things.

    Campus Safety

    F+ Bunch of Ex-cons in blue jumpsuits

    Bang for the buck

    Its no worth coming to JACKSON TN

    What to do for fun

    Go to the club to get shot.

    Food and Dining

    SUCKS

    Dorm Life

    SUCKS

    Academic Rigor

    Sucks

    Tips for prospective students

    Don't go unless you don;t want to become anything, the campus is boring there is nothing to do there, If you go the club you might just get shot up. Let clarify that you will get shot up. Shootings will continue to happen if nothing is done about it.

    In three sentences

    It is costly,expensive, poorly funded under educated, teachers don't know what there talking about, they'll continously teach you out of the book, some professors are old and need to be retired. The food stinks, security aren't nothing but a bunch of felons out of jail getting a second chance at finding a job.

    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for students that don't really party. That have fun doing the simplest things. Students who do well with more attention from a teacher and since it is a Historically Black College it is for African-American students who are comfortable around a lot of other African-American students.

    Tips for prospective students

    Bring your A game of course and don't pack a lot of heavy clothing it's warm a lot at the college. Bring a good personality and a creative mind because you will need it to make up things to do. Bring a lot of microwaveable food because dinner ends early. Lastly, bring a lock because there are alot of thefts at the end of the semester.

    Bang for the buck

    This school is a private school but it's size makes the tuition very affordable. They also give very good financial aid and honestly the most the average student has come out of pocket with is a loan of $5,500 a year.

    Am enjoying being here

    It is a beautiful campus, but in the free time that all students have in between studying there is not much to do. There are only about 3 things you can do and that is to go watch a movie (which many times have been played excessively) or take a walk or play outside.

    Am learning a lot

    The class sizes are small so the ability to learn is superb. The professors take as much time as they can on subjects that some students don't fully understand. They even go as far as to call students up to the board randomly, this helps.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety at Lane College isn't the best. It most definitely could be worked on. One of the main things the college could improve.

    Greek Life

    Greek life is actually cool. There could be a little more unity. They bring the life to campus through so many of the activities that they do .

    Clubs and Activities

    There are multiple clubs,councils,and activities to be apart of. They're always doing something positive and bring about great changes to the campus,as well as student body.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Every year,at midnight on the eve of homecoming week,all of the students pave the main street to sing and chant to bring the week in .

    Bang for the buck

    Lane has no in or out of state tuitition,so it's just one flat rate. For parents and independent students,that's a plus. It's even cheaper,if you stay off of campus.

    What to do for fun

    There's a student center and game shack were majority of everybody hangs out. There'll be game and study nights,as well as other different activities going on for the student body.

    Food and Dining

    Chicken Wedsdays and Fish Fridays are always looked forward to. The caf may not always have what we want to eat,nor the best foods,but from time to time ,it's actually tasty.

    Dorm Life

    Since it is a private institution, you'll be restricted on some things. For the most part,you do have your own room and privacy. Pack what you need.

    Academic Rigor

    The faculty is incredible. Teachers with different styles and methods from all over the United States come here to teach.We, the Lane College students get full advantage of faculty diversity.

    Tips for prospective students

    Save money,no matter what. Before anything,handle business and studies first. Don't try to fit in,be yourself.

    In three sentences

    Lane College is a great private institution with great values. This school has tremendous history and great teachers. The city is small and easy to get around also very quiet,I'd rate Lane an 8.
