ESL Student Comments about LCC

I've started taking Lane Community College classes from this term, and I already like this school a lot. All the staff here are willing to help. I think the staff here have more understanding of minority people than in the rest of society. In addition, the students here vary in gender, age and nationality. That means I can make a lot of various friends. I hope to do my best to find a good career by taking advantage of being an LCC student.

Lane Community College gives many people a chance to study. It has high quality but at a low cost.

Eun Kyung Lim, Korea

I like Lane Community College because of its variety of people. They are from different nations and different ages. Outside of LCC, such people hardly have a chance to come into contact together because they don't have a reason to meet and get to know each other. But in LCC we often see and talk with each other while we are studying together. For this reason I think LCC makes a more harmonious community by providing a special place that lessens cultural and other gaps among people.
