    I attend a satellite campus of LBCC. It's in a nice little part of town, and within walking distance of my house, which is great! The class sizes are small and it is easy to develop a relationship with professors, who for the most part, are excellent. I like that I can work on my core classes at a fraction of the cost of even our states colleges. The thing I like least is, while filling out an application for admission is simple enough, beyond that I found very little guidance as to how to go about doing anything. It's like they expect you to automatically know how college "works".

    So far my favorite things about LBCC are the small class sizes, great instructors, and the phenomenal food in the cafeteria. I appreciate the simple layout of the Albany campus as I tend to get lost easily. I've had truly wonderful instructors here as well as a couple not so great ones. Most of my instructors have been helpful and effective communicators and I really feel like I am getting my money's worth while attending LBCC. The required books for most of my classes have been very good and I've chosen to keep some of them for continued reference.
    Linn-Benton is a fairly small campus with lots of different resources to get help from! They offer classes throughout the entire day, so scheduling shouldn’t ever be a problem.
