Taylor - 07/25/2024

I loved my time at Lower Columbia College. Originally, I only attended the school because I was recruited to the women's soccer team, however, I grew to love it the more time I spent attending classes. The main reason I say I enjoyed my time at the school was because of the professors. Now, I can't speak for every student, however, every professor I had was down to earth, willing to answer questions in a kind manner, was very understanding of student's situations, and genuinely cared about the students to even reach out if they weren't doing well and continue to even after the class they were in was long over. Another reason I enjoyed my time at the school was that it had plenty of accessible resources. For example, there were free lunches, free therapy, free resume help, free tutoring, free gym memberships for students, timely advising appointments available, and many more! The last big reason I say I enjoyed my time at Lower Columbia College was that I loved the feel of the campus. Although covid caused many students to begin taking classes purely online, there were still people to be found, and if anything, it made it easier to find a new quiet study space. Lastly, there were just so many trees on campus and it was lovely to get to watch them change throughout the seasons.

Lower Columbia College is a good option for a community college. It is in a small town with not much to do, but the surrounding bigger cities an hour to two away, like Vancouver, Portland, and Seattle offer more options. They are good with their fully online classes as well as their in person classes.

Mariah - 01/09/2023

Lower Columbia College is an extremely good college. I have had an amazing experience there over the past two years. I am currently in Running start meaning I am in high school participating in the AA Dual Enrollment. So far every professor I have had has been amazing. Always available and happy to help whenever you need them.

Lower Columbia College FAQS

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Lower Columbia College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

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

    If I could go back to high school and talk to myself I would have so much to say. I would start by saying pay attention. Pay attention to the teachers that are there trying to help you learn information you really will need in college and in life. Pay attention to your parents, they really do know what they are talking about. Pay attention to your books and studies, grades really will count. Looking at your transcripts eighteen years after you graduate will be an eye opener and an ego deflater. I would go on to say that college right after high school seems so hard but it really would be the easier route. Struggling to raise kids and keep the wolves at bay and then playing catch up when you finally get the chance to get back to school is the hard way. And finally, you really are to smart to not show it. Spend the time early and enjoy being in school, there is plenty of time to be an adult. . . after school.

  5. What's unique about your campus?

    Since it?s a Community College, the best thing about it is its willingness to provide a valuable resource for the community. Heading back to school at the age of 50, to reinvent myself, after a long term career has ended; the school is working hard to help me on my feet academically. I've got teachers and advisers who are going beyond the call of duty to help me resurrect an almost 30 year old college education, far exceeding their mandate as educators to do so. They?re putting the word "community" back into Community College.

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

    I don't think there is enough staff. I have herd about budget cutbacks, and with enrollment as high as it has ever been, students waiting for financial aid have to wait longer than normal. It's not out of the ordinary to wait in line for an hour or more in the financial aid line.
