Fort Lewis College — Local services in Durango

Advising is terrible. Classes fill up where the advisors have u take an alternate route to graduation. Need more professors for the psych program. Update: it's 2024. I graduated. But my experience with the psychology department was ok. 2 of the professors that I had were astonishing harsh. Dr. Burke had treated me with unethical demeanor and unprofessionally called me out in class one time in front of whole class, which was embarrassing and humiliateding. I dont recall him being my father. I don't recall him paying g my bills? Although he felt it was appropriate to treat me like I was a kid. I was on my phone in class due to family emergency and I was receiving updates on my uncle who was brutally assaulted and my family was not sure if he would make it or not (he lived) but dr. Burke had the audacity to send me an email telling me how rude and disrespectful I was. I also applied for the internship in Denver which dr. Burke held every summer but he denied my application and I feel this was due to the phone incident. I've never felt so uncomfortable with a professor in my whole life (and I went on to get my masters). You'd think a professor in psychology none theless with a doctorate degree would have more empathy. Anywho. It was ok. Dr. Tidewel? Tidel? Grades assignments like it's not her future she cares about so that was a tough class but she was ok. My experience with the graduation ceremony was not great. For family/friends with a disability you cannot reserve seats for.... its first come first serve... I had a family member with a head injury and mobility issues so if they fell, that's was the end for them. I had to call and email the Dean and the president and records and whoever would listen to me. And thanked God all mighty i was able to reserve seating. Overall I give this school a 2ish star rating. Well 3. I did graduate. But other than that the dorms are alright. Walls are thin I could hear people doing the deed upstairs and next...

We just did a visit and we are very disappointed! Our daughter would have been a transfer student and she spent a lot of time & energy reaching out to Fort Lewis and talking with them. She was accepted & she has phenomenal grades! When we got there & she met Kayla, Kayla didn’t even remember her. The tour was very informal, with a huge group (we had toured many colleges), they showed us their worst dorms, they took us in 1 classroom, and mostly ran us through the tour. They didn’t even offer lunch (which is very important). My daughter had put down that she wanted to meet with some professors and financial aid and at the end of the tour Kayla just told everyone, “Okay, thank you for coming”! Our daughter told her she had meetings with financial aid & to meet with some professors... Kayla & Shelby had no idea what she was talking about! Shelby gave her the name, number & an email of a professor instead of having that professor reach out to our daughter. Obviously they aren’t in need of students! They just pushed their beautiful campus & all of the outdoor activities they offer, instead of their academics! So if all you want is a school with a lot of fun things to do & in a tourist town...

The facilities are poor and the dorms are even worse. The technology at FLC is terrible, the computers rarely work, and good luck finding good WiFi. The professors are really nice though, but the some of the students didn't seem to care much about their education. The professors really try to help their students succeed though.

Oh, they also lied about having my major 2 months into my education there. They told me they no longer offered my major, despite the fact that when I registered for classes, my advisor told me everything about my major there. Never said a thing about it no longer being offered there. Luckily I got my money back and went to a way better school. So, please do yourself a favor and do NOT apply here. A lot of my friends had the same thing happen to them on this campus. I am a lot happier and am doing great at my current university with a 4.0, a university which, by the way, has my major and has not lied to my face once in the 3.5 years I...
