Cody Kahl I'm from Philomath and I'm currently on my third year at LBCC. I'm transferring to Oregon State at the end of the term. I chose LBCC to save money  while taking my pre-req courses. I'm studying Food & Fermentation Science with the dream of opening my own brewery. Although I attend Linn-Benton, I am part of the Acacia Fraternity at Oregon State. I joined Fall 2015 and have been apart of the house since then. I got the role of Vice President this year, and will hold the role for the 2018 calendar year. Although I'm still close to my hometown, the fraternity helped me reach out and make a ton of new friends. It has also helped me strengthen my leadership skills."

I didn't have the GPA to go straight to OSU so I chose LBCC, and I ended up liking it a lot because I felt like I got more attention overall and in the subjects I struggled in like Math. Professor Mary Campbell helped me throughout my math classes and helped me get those core classes done. I had a counselor named Mark Weiss who helped me get into OSU and explained what classes I could segway into OSU. He also helped me get my associates in business here as well. I appreciated the attention I got and was able to get a great education for a much lower price that is just as effective".   Alex Gaub  "As a journalist, LBCC has definitely helped me realize some of the potential that I have as a writer. It's a good...
