Arrive to class early. Park in the U lot. Start off slow and work your way up. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Make sure that you focus on your planning more than anything. If planning on going further to obtain a Bachelors Degree make sure to follow the MACRO agreement to be able to transfer all of your credits over when time. Also follow the set plans that Lansing Community College has for each major to make sure that when time comes to graduate you have all of the requirements completed in order to obtain your associates degree or certificate.

Start here to save money, but if money is not a big issue or you do not care about debt definitely start somewhere else.

Stay on top of your course work and you will do fine! Falling behind is never good. LCC is only difficult if you let yourself fall behind.

Check out ratemyprofessor.com for decent teachers on the classes you are going to take. 99% of my classes had decent to great teachers based on input from here. When dealing with counselors and setting up educational plans, be sure you ask questions and keep notes. I went in and talked to several different counselors who told me I was on track but later found out after I applied for my diploma that I was missing one credit. No staff could give me any reason as to why it was missed 3 times. I finally found a counselor who knew what she was talking about so not all are bad, just be sure to understand what they are telling you and make sure all the numbers match up and check in regularly with them to make sure nothing has changed!
