    The teachers here are knowledgeable professionals, who are very involved in their fields outside of the class room. They are always kind and helpful from everything to scheduling classes to passing them as well as how to succeed in school and life beyond their individual classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is a really strong community at this school and activities like clubs, bbq's, and chili cook offs, keep the campus fun and the students involved. When funding allows, there also some really awesome field trip classes that can be offered.
    Bang for the buck

    As long as you are paying in-state tuition this school is super affordable. Even for out of state students, though, the education is well worth the cost. Not to mention living in Lake tahoe to attend classes...this town is amazing!
    Tips for prospective students

    Come to the campus and talk to administration staff, teachers, students; everyone is really helpful, but you have to be really proactive if you want to get anything done.

    The college is fairly small, so the class sizes are typically small as well and the teachers at LTCC are dedicated—teaching classes at all times in the day to fit to the schedules of the students as well as remaining on campus to talk and meet with students. For such a small college there is a surprisingly large class listing and the great thing about the quarter system is that those classes are rotated frequently.

    The actual town of Lake Tahoe is beatiful: spotted with tall pines and bordering the most beautiful lake in California. The college is no different: still minutes away from the lake it intermixes it's classrooms with tall evergreens, spacious parking lots and friendly faces. Because LTCC is a smaller college everyone tends to get to know each other and everyone is friendly and accepting.
    Bang for the buck

    The price per unit is lower than any other community college I know of, at only $17 per unit. Within the college itself are various vending machines as well as a student café/bookstore where you can find awesome deals on your books as well as a wide variety of snacks and drinks at discount prices. The college is filled with these types of helpful resources: an organized student services where you can find anything from a job to an appointment with a counselor, a well ordered library filled with just about any book that you would ever need as well as free internet use and DVD rentals, an up to date computer lab with free printing as well as a Math and English Success/Tutoring center located right in the middle of campus for any help you would need with either of those subjects among other subjects as well.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't worry about fitting in or not or getting into your classes. At Lake Tahoe Community College, the staff makes it work for you and everyone--student and teacher alike--are very friendly and down to earth people. It's a great community for a college.
