It's an amazing region of Minnesota surrounded by a high diversity of wildlife and lakes. The school itself is very organized and easy to adapt to once explored. The courses are a tad on the difficult side but for it being a smaller-sized community, the teachers get to know their students better and are willing to work with students.
I love this college. It offers flexibility with classes and allows for one to space out their classes over more time if needed. Central Lakes College also allows students at surrounding colleges to participate in PSEO (Post-Secondary Education Option) or CIS (College in School) classes. This allows for high school students in the area to gain college credits and graduate high school with an associate's Degree like I am doing this upcoming May. The campus is beautiful and has a multitude of community outreach programs involved in the school and opportunities for students to attend who need financial help. The school offers a food bank and hosts lunch during the semester. CLC and WeCare Clinic collaborate and offer free sexual health services to students. The professors are great at allowing flexibility in work and keeping you engaged in class, even when online. Overall this college is great for a community college and offers a variety of resources to help students in and out of school.
It’s a good college with a nice community. I think the teachers can work a little bit more on themselves
I love it here! Coming from someone who originally attended a 4 year university, I can confidently say that it feels so much more like home to me. I feel accepted and more encouraged than I did at my old school. Everyone is always looking to help you out and want you to succeed more than anything.
I've really enjoyed Central Lakes. The teachers are hands on. Classes are engaging and the location is the best!
I think it was okay. I don't have anything to compare it to. All my classes were online which sucked because I had to pay more even though I did not get the choice to have them in person. I just wanted to get my degree and I was never there in person. I got my degree which was the reason why I went.
I love thr small town atmosphere where you get to know your classmates and teachers but with the learning of a private college. He has the best of all worlds! And you cannot beat the price compared to a university.
Great place to go! Check it out! …

I attended this college from 2017 to 2018. I highly valued my experience. The teachers were very helpful and understanding.
I loved taking online classes through central lakes college. The professors are very helpful and are willing to make a zoom call appointment with you or an in-person one if you are still confused. They are very clear on how to do assignments and teach with clarity.
I took one completely online class, and one hybrid online class, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused all my classes to go online. I think CLC did a great job of providing a high quality Online learning environment. The instructors were always available to answer any questions needed, and overall I felt I learned a lot from my online learning experience.
Even after COVID-19 my classes remained high quality and very interactive. The faculty was exceptional at converting their In-Class courses to online in a timely manor.

Overall my experience was very positive! I very much enjoyed my experience at Central Lakes College, Brainerd. The staff and faculty was held to a high standard and I learned a lot from my time there. I believe they had a very accepting and uplifting atmosphere throughout the campus, which made learning and socializing easy! The students were very good as well, I was able to join a club my first semester, and made a few friends.
I really enjoyed my time at CLC and would highly recommend the college for anyone seeking a great two year community college degree, or are seeking transfer credits.

this a great college and they have amazing sports. but the living areas and bad in some places and good in others. But they are still livable.
I like the teachers, the way classes are taught and explained. Online classes are a favorite. I like to save on gas.
If you want to go to a school where the teachers, advisers and the Dean care about the students then CLC is the place. I'm pretty sure that out of all the schools in Minnesota this is the most affordable. There are couches and spaces made specifically for the students to relax, study or just hangout with friends. They even have a space for snacks and meals that are free for students. If you have trouble in classes they have tutors in the library and no you don't have to pay for it. I enjoyed my time at CLC. I made friends with teachers, janitors, and non traditional students alike.
They offer a variety of courses that you're able to take in high school. However, some of the professors for online classes aren't very reachable.
My experience at Central Lakes College has been an excellent one! The instructors are good at what they do and want to support their students and see them succeed. I have loved getting more involved in the community and discovering others who share my interests. Overall I love attending CLC and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking one of their degree programs!
