I attended from 2014-2016. Most of my instructors went above and beyond when any issues arose from myself or one of my classmates. My only issue was having my advisor switched three times in my two years at the college. It made planning my classes rather frustrating, but in the end my advisors and I made it happen. This school has an amazing Criminal Justice program that I recommend to anyone looking for their Associate’s or using this school as a stepping stone to going to university.

I was at Laramie County Community College from 2009 through 2012. Just walking into a classroom, passing a cleaning person in the hall, or the look in some of the employee’s eyes you could feel the tension and fear in the air from the employees. It was thicker than ham and bean soup. Any past, current, or future students need to know of the LCCC scandals of 2010.
The local newspapers seemed to print a new LCCC scandal about every week in 2010. They still maintain those scandalous stories in their online website. I will place a small search list of 10 or 20 of them at the end of my comments. There are many others available. You may need to login or set up a user name and account to fully review them online.
LCCC never seemed to have any local newspapers available at the school. They always seemed to have a Casper Wyoming newspaper available but none from Cheyenne. I would assume that was probably because the Cheyenne newspaper was printing the scandals of 2010. It seemed like the scandals continued for well over a year and I suspect it may have gone on for many years earlier without the public having knowledge of the problems at LCCC.
There were rumors floating around for months that there were late night raids in the employee's offices by LCCC security. The rumors floating about sounded like they were searching for the person or persons who revealed the scandals about the president to the public. My understanding was they never found any evidence of who or whom was leaking the information.
The LCCC board paid the president 350_thousand dollars for his resignation. Can you actually believe they paid that huge amount of money for this person to quit? What a RIP OFF for most the needy students who cannot afford an education. At that time 350_thousand dollars would have the tuition for nearly 150 students to earn a associates degree. The sad part was the LCCC board approved this pay off only seconds after the start of the open meeting. The people did not even take their seats before the decision was made. Many thought they had made that decision prior to the event. What a sad excuse of a board of directors that takes that huge amount of money and hands it over.
Even nearly eight years later the LCCC fiascos of 2010 will leave this school with a very badly tainted reputation that is long lasting for decades to come. I am disgusted and ashamed to even admit I ever attended this pathetic excuse of an institution. I recently just started a new computer software company. I will hire students from Colorado schools and avoid students from LCCC altogether. While the students are far removed from the LCCC fiascos of 2010 I cannot afford allowing the bad image of LCCC in my door. Maybe you should consider attending a reputable college avoiding the bad image of LCCC. In short Laramie County Community College completely ruined my college experience.

I decided not to attend, because my adviser for the Physical Therapy program went out of his way to discourage me from this program. I would say this is not a college geared to working adults. I also found his attitude towards me insulting because he seemed to think working adults couldn't keep a decent GPA.
I refuse to pay for a school that will not provide decent customer service or advisers.
My advice is to take classes from a an online school. This state school is severely lacking in professionalism and diversity.

Where should I begin. Between the racial segregation that still exist on a college level is ridiculous. I had two great instructor the whole time I was there. Then I find out my English instructor was fired recently. Apparently this college like many in America, want slave minded individuals. Being taught to think for yourself, question authority, and being a free thinker. Is a thing of the past. Mr. Huseman for example, thought he was experienced enough to discuss the "N" in his class. It just goes to show how the administration runs this so called learning institution. Ms. Rachel was an English teacher, who taught students to be free thinkers. But the college had other plans for her. Unfortunately, she was the instructor that was let go. If like being segregated, having instructors who don't care if you pass, or fail. Then this is the college for you. Please think twice, before committing to this school. This is a terrible college. Major changes need to happen, starting with the administration.
