I love Lawson!!!!!!!!!!! I love the small class sizes and how attentive the professors are. I actually work for one of my old professors now so of course the networking is awesome. I feel that the sense of belonging is so strong here even if your not involved in any extracurricular activities in school. I would like to see the availability of course expand so that there are more chances to take more courses I love being a Cougar I graduated May of 2015 and still take classes with the dual enrollment program through Alabama A&M University. This is a great place to further your education.
Review Lawson State Community College - Birmingham
The experience at Lawson State Community College is truly a positive journey. I will definately reccomend Lawson State Community College to friends, family as well as anyone else I meet along the way that is in search of a good school that is fun to attend, the faculty and staff are over the top friendly and operate with a high degree of professionalism.
Lawson State is a very good community college to attend although there are some staff members you will run into with those snotty attitudes. Overall it is a great school, offers many different programs and also has a good Honors College program.
