Lackawanna College is a great college. Classes range from students just out of high school to adult learners looking to further their career. The teachers I had were eager to help if you had an issue with the material being taught. Most teachers did not require you to purchase your books from the bookstore which was a huge benefit when purchasing books! I would recommend this college to anyone!

Ana - 04/18/2020

Lackawanna College is an education institution that offers a variety of opportunities. Even as an undeclared student, the schedule and analysis to help you find a major that suits an individual is an activity that is strongly appreciated. The class sizes are not too large or not to small which is an excellent education scenario. The people in the school, professors and alumni alike, provide a range of perspectives that can affect in and out of school life. The professors provide various sources and a range of help both in and out of the classroom. Not to mention the importance of pace and further education attainment. On-campus jobs and opportunities are offered and appreciated. Lackawanna College has certainly has a great impact on me as a student and I cannot wait to continue my education on campus.

I love the small classes at Lackawanna College. All the professors know your name and you become really close with your classmates. The school is located in the heart of downtown Scranton. There is away's something going on downtown for example right now they are getting ready for an Italian festival where all the local Italian food places set up tents around the courthouse, and people can go and get food. Lackawanna College always have actives going on for students to get involved in.
