About

The school currently enrolls nearly 3000 students annually, and maintains a modern campus to ensure students receive the best education possible. The school has been steadily adding programs and services over the years and constructing facilities that ensure such programs may be properly taught.

  • I am really not impressed with LTCC. The professors don't seem super enthused about teaching their classes. The staff in financial aid and other offices aren't very helpful and tell you "tough luck", and the other students aren't that friendly. To be honest, I can't wait to transfer out.
