    It's really just a great school. The people are all friendly and it has a relaxed atmosphere for the most part.

    The Clark Community College I heard is cheaper but I believe LCC has them beat. The only place I believe Clark would have them beat is the Gym and Cafeteria; however, I have not been to any other Colleges so it is hard for me to give a solid recommendation.

    I'm going to a junior college to save money. I feel like I'm getting a good value for my money. However the school is not ranked super high, so I am compromising somewhat. I figure I'll make up for that with my next steps in schools.

    Like I said, The Running Start program is a great deal! Tuition is reasonable and fees are pretty low. Probably why people choose to stay in our town and go to school.

    I am a full time student which mean on average I take about 15 credits a quarter, and for 15 credits my tuition is about $1,200 a quarter. This is a pretty good deal since that includes my books too which can be purchased used at the bookstore or online. Also your tuition covers the use of the school library, learning center, computer labs, and the gym.
