The school and the educational programs they provide are great! However, the financial aid office is terrible. If you send them an email regarding financial aid they take days or a week to respond. When you finally get a response its snarky and rude. If you contact them via zoom it's just as bad or worse. They never have finacial aid disputed by the first week of the quarter and I've had to wait two quarters for disbursement. If it wasn't for the professors I would be at a different school. I feel like the financial aid office sets students up for failure and even the dean doesn't seem to care.

Tracey - 06/02/2020

A great college with an inclusive atmosphere. I have received continued support from all advisors, staff, and teachers. could not ask for more as a new student. All of my classes this first quarter have been online and have received over the top help including access to a tablet and webcam to make sure I have what I need to succed

Reuel - 02/28/2019

I love it the classes are fun and straight to the point. There are free tutors available every day. The library has tons of computers in it that helped when I didnt have a laptop. There are plenty of clubs and extra curricular activities to join. Has a good gym!

Angela - 12/11/2018

Lake Washington (LWTech) is a great school that both prepares students for the program they are going into and helps them through their program. LWTech is great about "hands on" education and really preparing students for their chosen careers. There is always someone to help the students regardless of whether that is a teacher, an advisor, or an individual in the learning lab, Trio, or library. LWTech has great academics, resources, and staff.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    College is not like High School, you are in control of your future and your success. I'm not going to state the obvious ways to be successful, because those are common sense. What most students don't know is: 1) The value of adequate sleep; regardless of how prepared you think you are, without enough sleep you will only set yourself up for failure. Sleep recharges your body and mind allowing you to focus and new information easier to retain. 2) A life with a sense of of accomplishment is far greater than one filled with regret. When it gets difficult to manage school and life, consider how giving up feels compared to how success feels. You will see that quitting is not an option. 3) Set realistic goals in the present and use those to set future goals; accomplishment is success. Don't sabotage your own success. It's easy to let stress take over just remember to take a breath, better yet take a nap and allow yourself to succeed. Only you can place limitations on your life and only you can remove those limitations; live an unlimited life.

    I Like my Math and English Classes. everyone is participating in the class. Some students are very competitive, normal and dull too. My Major Department is "Information Tech App Development but I'm a beginner student and I'm taking some earlier credits like English, Math etc. So I don't know about my IT Department. No, I never got a chance to spend time with our teacher after class but sometime in break I use to talk if I have any question.

It is the first technical college to offer a bachelor's degree for any subject. In this case it is the MMDP (Multi-media Design Programming).
