"I'm very happy with the choice I've made to attend Lakeland College. I really like the flexibility of either going to class or taking the class online."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would definitely recommend my school to others. I would explain how good the teachers are and the range of classes and of the learning styles they can take part in (online, blended, or on-site). |
| Program Reputation | 10 | It's stated that Lakeland College has the highest rate of accountants graduates employed in the field. Lakeland has a 92% pass rating on their CPA preparation courses. |
| Program Quality | 9 | The accounting teachers were great; they made the topics easy to learn. The teachers explained real life situations that can happen. |
| Instruction | 9 | The instruction definitely prepared me for a career in accounting in a number of ways, such as through taking Peachtree and Quickbooks courses. It is easier to learn accounting concepts on the job as well. |
| How Difficult | 6 | At one point I took 5 classes in one semester (combination of online and in-class). I passed them all, but the classes were not easy. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was a mix, because professors went by the book but also explained real life situations. The exams were from the book. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I could take any class I wanted during spring, summer, and fall semesters and still graduate on time. Classes are very flexible with a blended approach. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | Each class was small and on site. Otherwise we communicated with professors either in person or online. |
| Social Life | 5 | There were no clubs or athletics at my Lakeland College location. I have made friends and I speak with them online. |
| Placement Services | 1 | There was no career service assistance, just jobs posted on the wall. This was not the main campus. There was no access to internships. |
| Alumni Network | 6 | I'm able to keep in touch with other classmates through LinkedIn. The Lakeland College Kellett Center in Madison, WI is just a small center. The main campus is in Sheboygan. |
