Alum: The Be Known Promise is real here! Small class sizes, and Professors who take the time to know and care for students. The culture here is one of caring for each person, wherever they are in their life's journey. I've seen this extended to students and employees alike. The administration is conscientious and in tune with students' needs. If you want a liberal arts education in a Christian setting, this is the place to go!... Read 1,058 reviews

Junior: I like that the school is small. This allows smaller class size and more interaction with the instructors (5:1 student to instruction ratio). I am very curious about the courses I need to take to complete my psychology degree (also wondering if I should add a minor). Also, will be playing basketball there, and I like that the gym is accessible for me any time of day so can improve. I can't really think f anything that I would like to see change. I'm entering my first year there (I'm a transfer student) and am really looking forward to starting in the fall.... Read 238 reviews

Sophomore: Portland Community College has such wonderful professors that really care about their students. Professors were kind, accommodating, and willing to listen to their students. They are interested in the success of their students. I really enjoyed going to PCC, especially learning about topics that weren't discussed in high school. I love the online format that PCC uses, it is easy to understand and can be easily explained to new students. PCC is the place to go when you start or continue your college journey!...

Sophomore: Warm and accepting community. Campus is always hosting community events and activities, and the entire environment is very friendly-neighborhood-esque. The arts programs' and trade programs' instructors really know their stuff! The professors and classrooms are all very professional and high-standards, though some of the facilities are smaller due to the community nature of the college. I felt the credits I received were accurate reflections of how much I learned. I took a fiction class here, and I feel that some of my best story writings came out of that course....

Niche User: I took an online math class at Lower Columbia College for college in the high school credits. The teacher was incredibly helpful and kind. The students worked hard and created a comfortable community. During the class, I was able to learn hands-on math skills as well as participate in a close-knit community. I have been on campus and it is a relatively nice area! The only critique I have is that the teacher did not grade very quickly and I would have to wait for important grades until the class ended. The class was scheduled for Monday and Friday but did not have a Zoom meeting which was incredibly convenient. The course was 'do it at your own pace'. The cost of attending Lower Columbia College is somewhat affordable and my school covered the cost of credits. I hope to tour the campus more to see if Lower Columbia College would be a viable option for me. I spoke to other students and they seem to enjoy the class too! I highly recommend taking online classes at Lower Columbia College.... Read 1,177 reviews
