    I love the professors. I am a Early College Highschool student and the professors are wonderful. The Blackboard is a little hard to work with, it could be simpler. There are techinally no LIT dorms but Lamar, it’s sister college next door has really nice dorms, and a lot of people transfer from LIT to Lamar to further their education at some point.
    Overall I am just so thankful to be getting an entire associates degree, while I am in highschool, and for free. LIT is amazing for offering our high school these courses and program and I’m very grateful!

    I've really enjoyed being in the dual credit courses! I have found this campus to provide outstanding teachers that teach their students well and with passion! I find this campus to also have profound online courses that push students, but also are a good paced course overall.
    The instructors are amazing. They help tremendously with your education and understand the struggles of a college student. Everyone is helpful. It's almost like a big family. They teach you skills that helps one find a job. They motivate you to become successful in life. The classes are small which are helpful in transitioning from High School to College. I would recommend everyone who is getting an Associates Degree or starting their basics.
