Lewis-Clark State College

"I love the people here because they are friendly, kind, and you can talk to anybody. The teachers are excellent at teaching English. I feel very comfortable to ask questions and have conversations with friends, teachers, or with the local people, which is really helpful to improve my English."

"LC has a beautiful campus. Students are also very kind to international students. LC’s professors make the class so much fun."

"Even though I had already passed the TOEFL test, studying English for 3 months meant I was better prepared for college."

"Lewiston is a quiet and nice place for studying. International students can easily interact with other students and instructors because of the small-sized classes."

"I have been through the IIE program and graduated from it. I think the English programs help international students prepare for college classes. I have to say there is a lot of work that is required, but it is all worth it!"

"I never pictured myself working so hard towards something I really love and want to achieve. LCSC’s close-knit community provides you with the tools necessary to succeed and be a very focused student. Having a small teacher-to-student ratio makes learning a breeze! I would not trade it for anything in the world!"

"I have been here for almost 4 years. LCSC is a memorable place for me, I love it so much. There are some great English teachers, and lots of activities. It’s a wonderful place to improve your English! We also have plenty of clubs, such as the international club, volleyball club, accounting club, and so on."

"Before I came here I thought to myself that it’s going to be hard to make new friends and I would feel left out since I would be the only Tunisian in Lewiston and maybe Idaho, but I got to LCSC and I made a ton of friends and now I’m already sad because I will have to leave at the end of the school year.  #NoPlaceLikeLCSC"

"I love LCSC, and I really enjoy my life here. I live with a very nice host family. LCSC offered me one of the best memories ever."

"I stayed with 3 host families and all are great friends. I can go back and visit them anytime. Living with a host family really helped me improve my English. Lewiston is a small city which was perfect for me. People in the community are always friendly and interested in my country and my culture."

At Lewis-Clark State College, we offer three levels of English: Intermediate, Advanced and Bridge.

"I am currently doing Curricular Practical Training (CPT) at a local boat builder where I am applying the skills I learnt in my course to real world problems. The size of LCSC means I have a great relationship with my professors. They know me. I am not just one of 300 students as if I went to a big school. My professors talk to me and help me both in and out of class."

"I wanted a small school and LCSC was a great choice. The English language classes were hard but I was well prepared for college. My host “Mom” was a great friend and helped my English and introduced me to her family and took me to places I would not have seen without her assistance."

"People in Lewiston are very friendly and living with a host family was a great way to improve my English. Studying English at IIE was a great place to learn English quickly and I was well prepared for college studies. I have recommended LCSC to my friends and there will soon be more students from Mali at LCSC."

"The big difference in learning English in America is you have to speak English in class and at home, and you need English to be able to communicate with the other international students. Back home, you study English but you do not get the same experience of speaking English."

"When I first arrived at LCSC, I could not believe how friendly and helpful everyone was. I am really enjoying living and studying in Lewiston."

"Having completed my degree while on a tennis scholarship, I am excited to be gaining practical experience by taking Optional Practical Training (OPT) for 1 year."

"I chose Lewis Clark-State College because of its good teacher-student ration, most teachers are more than willing to give me individual assistance when I needed it. And all the super nice people here make this place feel like home."

"Wonderful and friendly atmosphere around LCSC; I focus on my studies, and everything I do here feels like an adventure to me."

Lewis-Clark State College offers international out-of-state tuition scholarships to qualified international students.

"For me, the two best things at LCSC are club activities like ABC-Group and International Club, and amazing interaction between teachers and students."
