    Am learning a lot

    When I enrolled to LBCC I really thought nothing of it. In my head I just thought oh look more school. But after the first year at LBCC I have learned so much and respect and thank every professor I have had and will have in the near future. Thank you LBCC for all the help you have given me!
    Am enjoying being here

    When I was in High School I dreaded waking up in the morning I felt as if others things were more important! I was always nervous about attending college. But since i have been at LBCC It makes me look back and appreciate what i dealt with in High School. I love college and enjoy it so much at LBCC i will more then likely miss attending this school once I graduate from it or transfer to another.
    Bang for the buck

    What else can i say besides LBCC will save you loads of cash. Not only cause their tuition is cheap but they have tons and tons of scholarships to offer. LBCC keeps getting better and better for me!
    Tips for prospective students

    Future students i will be that first to tell you that their is no need to stress or be nervous about college. Especially if you are attending LBCC. The class sizes are small and not completely over filled. All students are polite to one another and are willing to help one another.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for any type of students. They offer pretty much any type of degree you are wanting or just want to try out and they also have their transfer program with OSU, letting you transfer your credits to the other school you will love!

    LBCC is a great school. There is so many different things that you can choose to do. And there is always great food to buy thanks to the culinary students.
    Academic Rigor

    There are many very good and challenging classes to take at school. Every teacher I have always had gives you the learning you deserve that effectively helps you actually learn the subject not just skate by and pass.
    Dorm Life

    There is not dorms that you live in while attending school at LBCC. Which I am glad of, because I prefer to live in my own home.
    Food and Dining

    The food is fantastic! The school has culinary students that work very hard to make delicious food!
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of great clubs to join!
    Campus Safety

    There is always a security guard working to ensure student's safety.

    A good place to get an affordable education either to transfer or receive a degree. Class room sizes are not too big and a teachers are always available to get in contact with. Overall, a good place to start.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get help from ad adviser when setting up your schedule.
    Academic Rigor

    On average if you devote the time necessary and come to class the classes are not difficult to get good grades in. If you slack and try to take short cuts then that will show.
    Dorm Life

    There are not dorms at Linn Benton.
    Food and Dining

    There is a cafeteria as well as a cafe and coffee spot. They serve good food that is made fresh. It may be a little on the expensive end so don't make it a habit to eat there everyday. But, if you forget lunch or go with friends a couple times a week its a good choice.
    What to do for fun

    There are lots of clubs to join such as diversity, or poetry clubs. There are sporting events to watch like volleyball, basketball, and baseball. The choir here is nationally ranked so watching one of their concerts is always entertaining.

    Having a great time while learning a great deal.
    Tips for prospective students

    You get out of it what you put in.
    Academic Rigor

    It could be a little tougher. I am studying 2 hours per class for every hour of lecture, and I have a cumulative 4.00 GPA but I have not been worried going to exams. You have to put an effort into learning the material.
    Food and Dining

    Pretty nice cafe. Decent food at decent prices.
    Bang for the buck

    LBCC is a steal! Tuition is about half of OSU or WOU. That is a big part of why I am here.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students like me who enjoy a give and take approach to learning.
    Campus Safety

    Campus security is understated and subtle, but they are here and ready to help if needed.

    What to do for fun

    bowling, movies, king kone, some downtown stores and rhythm & blues music festivals.

    Academic Rigor

    the academics this school has is amazing, the classes aren't too big so you can be able to get more time and help with the instructors when needed.
    Dorm Life

    for future college students plannning on attending a community college before transferring to a four year and live in albany oregon. then linn benton community college is a great choice because you can still stay at home and save some money because the commute wont be long.
    Food and Dining

    the food and dining is perfect on campus, they have a cafateria with a wide selection of food and the prices are fairly reasonable. also they have a cafe in the court yard also. but if you don't want any of this food then there is plenty of places near by the campus that you can drive to,to get a bit to eat.

    Bang for the buck

    this community college is a great one if you want to attend a community college before attending a four year university, because its credits are fairly reasonable, for one credit its about 93 bucks, a whole year of schooling would cost only about 4000 dollars, 3 terms, at 12 credits, could be more if you take more than thoses credits.

    Am learning a lot

    You learn so much at this school! It seems like every person on staff wants to help you learn and to be the best student possible. Everyone is extremely helpful and the teachers take time out of their day to help you when needed.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is amazing! Their is so much light, color, and plants on campus it really starts to feel like home after only a few months of going to school.
    Bang for the buck

    The amount of money you spend per credit is so much lower than at other schools. For one full year of classes at another college, you can have 3-4 years here instead!
    Tips for prospective students

    Do you best in high school at math and English. While the instructors are great, you will save a lot of time and money if you are not required to take lower level math and writing courses.
    Great for these types of students

    Linn-Benton is great for students who want to get the basic classes out of the way before transferring to another school. The class sizes are small, so it feels like you have one-on-one interaction with the teachers.

    LBCC is very cost effective especially if you plan on attending OSU to finish your Bachelor's Degree. If you do plan on going to OSU after LBCC I suggest that you apply for the duall enrollment program.
    LBCC offers several scholarships, there is a fall and spring application cycle. During each cycle you can fill out one application and mark all the scholarships you would like to apply for. However most of these scholarships give preference to residents of Linn or Benton County, or non-traditional students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to fill out the fall and spring scholarship applications!
    I also suggest buying your books online; you can often find them much cheaper on ebay than in the book store!
    Great for these types of students

    Many of LBCC's students are people who are going back to school after being in the workforce for several years (AKA non-traditional students). This school is well suited for these students and offers many scholarships for them.
