Central Lakes College - Brainerd Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 219 reviews
Overall it was good. I went to the college through my local high school my junior and senior year. It was all online due to covid. The professors were great and really helped me attain my Associates degree!
I love this college. It offers flexibility with classes and allows for one to space out their classes over more time if needed. Central Lakes College also allows students at surrounding colleges to participate in PSEO (Post-Secondary Education Option) or CIS (College in School) classes. This allows for high school students in the area to gain college credits and graduate high school with an associate's Degree like I am doing this upcoming May. The campus is beautiful and has a multitude of community outreach programs involved in the school and opportunities for students to attend who need financial help. The school offers a food bank and hosts lunch during the semester. CLC and WeCare Clinic collaborate and offer free sexual health services to students. The professors are great at allowing flexibility in work and keeping you engaged in class, even when online. Overall this college is great for a community college and offers a variety of resources to help students in and out of school.
So far everyone has been welcoming and very helpful. Staff is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Central Lakes College offers a wide variety of programs with different degree's or diploma's. I enjoy the cleanliness of the Staples Campus.
