How Much Will College Cost?
Tuition and Fees
Lake Land College offers more than affordable tuition — it’s an investment in your future. A recent study with the Illinois Community College Board shows graduates see a 20% return on their investment.
Cost of Attendance
Other costs like housing, transportation, and personal expenses vary by student and aren’t paid to the college. These estimates help us calculate financial aid but may not apply to everyone.
