Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot I took a class here as part of their GED/Career Gateway program through the adult education department. What you're going to learn based on what I took away from that class and what I can see from my current curriculum is the basics. So, while you may not learn boat loads, you learn and reinforce the foundation for when you get to the point where you're going to be taking more new information in at a time.
Will enjoy being here The campus is relatively small, but the people are what make up for it. Everyone I've met that works for the school has been approachable and very nice and still very down to business about things. The Scranton area is generally friendly and if you explore a bit (and there's plenty) you're virtually guaranteed to find great places for down time and socializing. Remember, it's only as enjoyable as you allow yourself to make it.
Bang for the buck The bang for the buck here is using the school as a platform into a four year program while saving money in the first two. Essentially given the aid I've received, I'm most likely going to come out of my two years at Lackawanna debt free. In addition to the amount of aid available vs. the cost of attending, they charge a flat tuition fee and you can take up to 18 credits on that.
Great for these types of students Great for lower income students, those looking for a solid foundation, and those who need an alternative route or gateway into a four year program.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lackawanna College has given a experience that i though t i would never be interested in. I have had the opportunity of meeting new people and enjoying the education that they have to offer. it has also given me the responsibility of being and independent adult.
Tips for prospective students Come prepared to experience the joy of attending a college and beginning a responsible life on your own.
What to do for fun I am currently on the football team, so i train, run, practice and do study hall. When I am not doing these things I attend movies, go to the mall and go out to dinner.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lackawanna College is a small college, with small classes. It is great because you can have one on one time with your professors, but if you plan on commuting, there is hardly any parking.
Tips for prospective students If you plan on attending Lackawanna College you should definitely come in with an open mind, there are plenty of different types of groups of people with varying backgrounds.
Academic Rigor At Lackawanna the school work is easy to keep up with, and testing is just how it was in high school
Dorm Life I do not currently dorm, but a few of my friends do. In their opinion there could be some major improvements, but unlike most schools parking is available for first year students.
Food and Dining The cafe is mostly unorganized, the food is mediocre compared to other campuses close by.
What to do for fun The campus is located in the middle of down town Scranton. It is across the street from the Scranton Cultural Center, and the Lackawanna County Library. The mall is within walking distance, as well as fast food resturants. It is the ideal place to dorm.
Bang for the buck educational wise, I have deffinitely got my money's worth. Other than that, the parking is limited and most of the time you have to pay for a meter. I estimated that I spend about 80 dollars a semester in parking alone, and a few months ago I had gotten a parking ticket that set me back another 30 dollars.
