    Campus Safety

    I only take classes during the day, but I have never had any security issues. Security is always there and patrolling. Seems safe to me.
    Clubs and Activities

    So many clubs and activities!
    Bang for the buck

    Knock out some prerequisites before you go to university - and save some cash- or get a certificate or degree here. Worth the money to get the classes.
    Food and Dining

    Not bad. I eat there 3-4 days a week.
    Dorm Life

    No dorms at this time.
    Academic Rigor

    In my experience, the teachers do there best to help you, but if you still don't understand they are willing to help.

    Campus Safety

    The security people here are very nice, and they're also really into the sports here.
    What to do for fun

    For those of you who like to club, Crockett Street here in downtown Beaumont is the place for you.
    Food and Dining

    Since most of the students live here locally the cafeteria isn't that big or open all the time, but the food is great.
    Dorm Life

    If you don't live here locally look for a cheap apartment to live in, because dorms aren't available yet. They're working hard on getting them up in a few years, but at the moment none are available.
    Academic Rigor

    If you had any AP or honor classes in high school then your general required classes here will be kind of like a refresher course, but once you get past that stage classes become more interesting and a little more demanding.

    Lamar State College-Port Arthur is a small community college located in Southeast Texas. LSCPA has small classes, two distinguished college level athletic programs, and small tuition. The teachers here also really care about you educationally and personally.

    I love this school!

    Music, Nursing, Business, Cosmetology, Automotive Repair, and many, many more.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are programs here for everyone, medical to music and anywhere in between. Its a great school, very hassle free.
    Bang for the buck

    I took twelve hours my last semester and the cost was roughly 1,300, which in my personal opinion is not bad at all. I have been able to find almost every book I needed on Amazon.com at extremely cheap prices. Definitely a great school, regardless of the low price. That's an extra bonus.
    Am enjoying being here

    The environment is great. The classes are small and the teachers are personable. They are always willing to help you personally outside of class and they are truly concerned that you learn the material.
    Am learning a lot

    When I enrolled in my commercial music program, I didn't even know the difference between a dynamic and condenser mic. Now, I am recording bands and mixing out songs to be released to the public. Thanks to Lamar in Port Arthur, I am getting closer to becoming a master of my trade. We are provided with hands on learning as well as homework assignments and reading. They hit all angles and it works!!
