  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    Probably the fact that it is such a small school therefore, everyone knows each person's personal business. It also gets very annoying that rumors are so easily started and believed at L.C. To be blunt, I'm rather embarassed to be a student at L.C. However, it was the only school I appied to: I feared the rejection from other schools.

    The best thing about Lincol College is probably the how easy it is to get help on your work and how much the teachers will work with you if you just ask. There are accomodations for students with documented disabilities, free tutoring for virtually every subject, and teachers will take time to help you one on one if you take the time to ask. The work load is always managable and I believe anyone can do well here if they put in the work.
