Brendan Allen
2024 LRCC graduate
Current Plymouth State University education student
I chose LRCC because it was the best way for me to save money, while also starting down the correct path for my career. Having a Liberal Arts degree made transferring to a 4-year college easy since I had all my Gen Eds completed upon arrival.
Currently, I’m a student in the History and Social Studies Education program at Plymouth State University. I’m on track to becoming a teacher within the next year. LRCC has great advisors who were always willing to meet with me to ensure that I was taking the correct classes for a seamless transfer process.
LRCC staff and faculty continuously supported my academic pursuits and helped answer all my questions. They always gave me very valuable feedback and helped push me to achieve my goals. I formed close connections with some of my professors that I still have today.
My advice for high school students that are considering LRCC is to do it. LRCC is a great resource to have in our community. If you are looking for a school that has friendly faculty and staff who understand that life sometimes gets in the way, then this is the school to choose. Attending LRCC was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and it helped me feel comfortable being in a classroom environment again.
The best thing about LRCC is the faculty and staff and the respect that they have for the school community. They are incredibly kind, and they truly care about their students’ success. They offer lots of events that bring the community to the campus and also get students out into the community. The staff opened doors and formed connections for me that I didn’t even know were possible.
