“I would tell students to look at Lake Region State College because of the great environment.

I’ve been given many opportunities such as student senate where I get to be the vice president, secretary and treasurer. I am royal ambassador, invited into honor society, and I’ll graduate in one year. I have scholarship money to pay for fall and spring semester and then some.

I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t come here, especially with dual credit, since it opens many doors for futures.”
