Yes, you can use professors from your college for your Letters of Recommendation, even with just 10 months of work experience. Universities often value LORs from professors who have taught or mentored you, as they can offer strong insights into your academic abilities and character. If your work experience is limited, this can be especially helpful. Having at least one LOR from a professional setting, like a supervisor, is advisable to highlight your work skills, but it’s completely acceptable to have all your LORs from professors if they can provide detailed and positive recommendations about your potential.
