Alexandra - 07/10/2020

I think it was a good community college, all the professors I had cared alot about their students and made sure they understood the material. They were all easy accessible outside of class. Online classes were pretty simple for the most part, I never took classes online that I would feel would be to hard to self teach, but they always provided detailed explanations of the material. Overall I had a good experience there.

Daisy

This school is all what each person makes it out to be. I personally, think it's a great school to get undergrad classes done. If I knew someone looking to get a start at higher education, I would definitely recommend it to any family member or friend.

Vanessa

Lone Star College System is a great and affordable choice to complete your basic classes and complete an Associate Degree. I completed my associate of science at Lone Star and now I plan on transferring to a 4-year University. Lone Star helped me take the next step when I though I couldn't afford it, thanks to the help of the many dedicated Professors. You will find mostly academic and financial benefits at this community college. Lone Star does not offer the campus life of a typical college and doesn't have many extracurricular activities and their financial aid office could be a lot better.

Natalia

It's very good.

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

    When asked the worst thing about a college I love, only one thing comes to mind, and that?s having a good professor. In high school I had an amazing Biology teacher and guess what, I love Biology. When you?re around somebody that loves a subject--you want to learn. At North Montgomery College (now Loan Star), I have had some amazing professors and I have had some not so amazing. I long for a system where professors share their teaching style and methods and students post accurate feedback about professors or blog with upcoming students.

  7. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    Once you are accepted and have your first semester behind you they tend to leave you to fend for yourself and don't seem as willing to provide help. At least not the go-out-of-thier-way maner that you had when you first attend. Also the inconsistence of information given in the Advising office & financial aid is a big problem, I often found myself having to fact check what was being told to me or just left confused, so come with questions & information in hand or you can easily get led astray.

  9. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    Having attended this college for two years, I am pleasantly surprised with both the affordability and the dedication of the staff for providing an experience that I will never forget. The campus is pleasantly landscaped and has a variety of student amenities that make attending here a stellar experience. Although the advising staff means well, they do still have problems with what they give for "advice". Bear that in mind when you come on campus and are not sure of how to proceed in your course list. Check with instructors that know the program degree that you are trying to acquire, rather than just the advisers.

    There are a mixture of many different groups at the campus. You may see baggy clothes, loud groups, quiet study groups, some in gym clothes, others in country jeans, and even on occasion you will see students in their PJ's... Usually around finals. There is a sence of relaxation and enjoyment in one area and a sence of serious book study going on in another area. The campus has such a large amount of room that people are able to find places to be themselves, areas to knock out large amounts of study material and then come together as a whole with a great sence of being one during the activities put on by the campus clubs.

  18. What are your classes like?

    They're all core credit classes, so you can get them out of the way before tranferring. Even though there's tens of thousands of students, class sizes are pretty small. It almost feels like 13th grade, but in a good way. Most professors are always available to answer your questions after class, during their office hours, or over e-mail. You'll meet a lot of non-traditional students in your classes. I feels like most people here are at least 22, with some sprinklings of people in their 30s and 40s. They have a lot of life experience, which makes in-class discussions pretty interesting. Overall, I'm satisfied with my classes. Just make sure to go on RateMyProfessor so you don't get stuck with a bad professor.
