Lehman College is a beautiful campus that hosts diverse students who have the desire to move on with their academic success. Most students are adult learners who work, have families on their own yet try their best. There are multiple clubs and activities to participate if one reads the emails they send every day.

After being quarantined for so long, I got a chance to go to the campus and it is wonderful. The view on the campus is beautiful and the campus is huge. The classrooms makes me feel like I'm back in high school before the pandemic. Overall, great campus.

Take the time to become familiar with the environment and your fellow classmates/student life! It's very easy to hop on the train and go straight home, but some facilities and resources can be accommodating and the professors are very down to earth that I felt was very homely!

This College has so much more to what it seems on the outside. It has nature and It is a very peaceful and non-judging environment as everyone is focused on developing themselves. This college has huge gyms, pool, library and three cafes. Directions are clear and everyone is willing to help once you get to know them first and don't be shy.

Great school with a great teaching staff and help if you fall behind. They teach the same subject as the other higher cost schools but at a much less cost.

Classes are very far away and usually all classes are taken and crowded campus

This school is a diploma mill. I transferred here from another school and immediately regretted it; the other school was no good, but this school is even worse. I took senior level classes here and could not believe what I witnessed; my classmates could barely write or understand basic reading material, but somehow they were seniors?

Grades are due and are not posted when they are supposed to be the allowance of unprofessionalism and lack of timeliness is distasteful.
Overall 1.7
No flexibility in classes. I have to either have to have my classes spread out or super super early in the morning.

I always heard that Lehman was a good school. Biggest mistake of my life. They mess students up big time. Good luck trying to get in contact with anyone through phone. They never pick up, u might get luck in the financial aid department. Some professor's there are nice, the workload was not hard to say it was a bachelor's degree.

So far ive had nothing but bad experiences with this school. I should of went somewhere else, big mistake. Every thing here is a problem, you need to appeal everything. Common sense isnt so common here.

Please do not waste your time here at all! Cheap tuition should not call for cheap education! I am planning to transfer immediately! Professors give you a bunch of work to cover for the fact that they barely teach and the depending on the major you want to pursue it’s not worth you time and energy! Any money that went into this school was a waste
Overall 1.8
Cheap tuition should not constitute cheap education. Most professors do not teach, just have an open forum for students to let their feelings and frustrations out (like group therapy). Good luck getting any answers regarding changing degrees or programs. No one seems to know who to contact despite working at the school for decades.
