The teachers were all helpful for the most part. Parking wasn't the best but I found a spot in one of the two lots 95% of the time. I felt safe on campus. The English Department helped me a lot with my writing skills. Great History teachers as well. Love the location in Downtown Scranton. Just wish there was more activities on campus.

I am a disabled student here at Lackawanna college. I love it here! My only complaint would be how there are few elevators, and the buildings are far from each other. It is manageable, but it is somewhat painful to move class to class. I only had a problem with one professor, the staff is friendly, there is always something to do.

This school is the worst place I have ever went. The mood always has some sort of hair or animal parts like arteries in it. Students have to use there personal hotspots to do any type of homework. I have never wanted to leave a school so much in my entire life. I left after my first semester, I could not stand it here. STAY AWAY FROM LACKAWANNA!!!

I have not enjoyed my time at Lackawanna College. The curriculum was changed multiple times over the course of my major, and I do not feel that the college has adequately prepared myself or my classmates for our professional careers. Would not advise attending here.

I went to this school as a way to bring up my GPA and get into a University. What a horrible experience. Good luck finding a parking space in the free school lot you'll put more quarters into the meters than you can afford. The staff is completely ignorant and unhelpful. And the majority of the teachers honestly are terrible. Find another school.

Liars. They make alot of promises to get you in the door. Ultrasound programs (all) are a joke. It's a dying field. No jobs anywhere!

Disappointment! this school is a joke if you want to get a good education and actually learn something go somewhere else. Very few teachers that put an effort into teaching, most will just hand out grades
