申请点评
- Academic Experience: Choosing a major entering college is a tough decision, but LFCC offers several different degree and certificate programs that allow every student to work toward something. The amount of work that students must complete is manageable, although very overwhelming at times. During the first year at LFCC, most time was spent completing general education courses, and the upcoming year will be spent focusing on my major. This process seems pretty typical of colleges, so I like this process.
- Academic Experience: Students are never limited at LFCC. There are so many classes available to students, and the registration process for these classes is relatively easy. The workload truly depends on the professor and although overwhelming at times is pretty manageable. Some programs that I really like are the honors program, the international honor society, and the guaranteed acceptance program.
- Campus Resources: The resources at Lord Fairfax Community college are astounding. The student success center and financial aid office are always providing students with helpful tips geared toward success. The library is full of computers, study rooms, conference rooms, reading material, and library assistants. The free in-person and online tutoring, along with free writing center assistance are priceless resources that make LFCC even more likeable. This school is truly focused on the future of its students and is worth every penny.
- Campus Resources: Campus is growing. They have a lot of different programs and everyone there is very helpful and friendly. It's a small town community college that cares about its students - not like some of the larger colleges where you are a number.
- Campus Resources: They don't advertise any of the sports or their games so there's no school spirit for it. The student center is very loud and just a place for people to go and talk so it's very distracting for people who are trying to do schoolwork. The library is smaller than a four year university's library. The general campus is very boring so it's uninspiring to be there.
- Campus Resources: There aren't many computer labs, printing off things costs .50 cents per page. The reliability and speed of the network is okay, it wasn't overly impressive. Wireless access is a headache in itself because there are multiple accesses that are named LFCC but only one is public and doesn't require a password. You can bring your personal computer to classes but sometimes you're not allowed to use it.
- Student Body: The student body at Lord Fairfax is one of the most diverse and in different categories. On this campus are people from different walks of life, currently on different levels of life, from different cultures, of all ages merged into a diaspora of learning. The different programs allows for a diverse network of communication for both short and long term goals in college success.
- Campus Quality: There's nothing interesting or unique about Lord Fairfax. It's a dull campus that isn't modern or inspiring. I can't wait to leave.*(4)
