5 /5 R. Shaw: Im so glad I found a
Junior College like Lassen Community College. I would have given it more stars if I could have.Its in a small northeastern California town that is isolated from the big city by at least 1.5 hours from Reno, NV, and 2.5 hours from Chico, CA. Having it be in a rural setting helped me to focus on my studies without big city temptations.
The personal attention I received there from my professors and tutors, when I needed them was outstanding, and what I still attribute to my success there. After two years, I successfully graduated with honors with my Associate Degree (86) and transferred to Chico State University.
I took advantage of the excellent financial aid package they offerd me with a
work-study job on campus working with the same supervisor for the two years I was there. She took a genuine interest in my success and became a close friend.
I lived off campus and enjoyed every minute, making lots of good memories to last a life time.
One added bonus of living in Susanville is that it boarders the Lassen National Forest which also gives you access to Lassen Volcanic National Park, along with many beautiful lakes and well maintained camp grounds. For me, Lassen College is a well kept secret and a priceless gem in the California Community College system for those who want to focus on their studies and remove themselves from the big city and its distractions.
