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.
