Lehigh Carbon Community College — Local services in North Whitehall Township

I attended from 2018-2020 to get a couple of associates degrees after a career change. I think this is the best school I have been to so far. I have taken courses at multiple university's and I will say the curriculum and the standard that the professors hold the students here is on par or exceeds what the other schools/university's offered me. Going through both the University route and the community college route, I would recommend any student, unless you obtain a full ride of course, to go through community college because of a few reasons. 1. Cost, if you get your generals done at a CC you can do the rest of your focused studies at a university and you will have saved a lot of money and may have possibly qualified for additional scholarships and grants to continue your education that you might not have before. 2. Readiness. If you are not sure you are ready for University studies a great place to test it out is a CC. It is a great barometer and often just as challenging as University courses. If you can do LCCC then you can do University and most would say it the other way around. 3. The professor's. Professors at CCs are often more in touch with their students and I believe they foster a great environment in which to ask questions and get individual help. I had some great professors at LCCC and some I still keep in contact with. Don't get me wrong, you can find good personable professors at a University, but just not as readily. That being said LCCC provided me all of these things and I would recommend anybody going to a CC and particularly LCCC. It is a great growing school with a lot of programs to study. The campus is in a nice location in Schnecksville and has plenty areas to study and learn. Oh and the bookstore is wack like I have seen from other reviewers, but it didn't drop the rating by a...

As someone who values education and student support, I feel compelled to share my experience with Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), which has been deeply disappointing and frustrating. In my opinion, LCCC has consistently failed to meet even the most basic standards of communication, academic support, and institutional accountability.

Despite numerous attempts to reach out via phone and email, I rarely received responses — if at all. This lack of communication not only reflects poorly on the college’s professionalism but also leaves students feeling ignored and unsupported during critical moments in their academic journey.

Moreover, the quality of education provided in some courses has been alarmingly inadequate, with little to no engagement or effort shown by certain faculty members. When students invest both their time and money into higher education, they deserve more than unreturned emails and subpar instruction. Unfortunately, when concerns are raised or tuition reimbursement is requested due to these issues, the institution becomes evasive and uncooperative — suggesting that revenue is prioritized over student success and well-being.

In my professional opinion, this points to a larger issue: LCCC appears more focused on collecting tuition than on fulfilling its fundamental responsibility — delivering quality education and supporting the students who trust them with their future. Until there is meaningful change in how the college engages with its student body, improves the learning environment, and takes accountability for its shortcomings, I would be hard-pressed to recommend it to anyone seeking a sincere, student-centered...

I took the weekend CDL program with Kate, and I felt like I left the class with everything I need in order to get my CDL. I started off taking it for a manual transmission, but unfortunately missed the 2 days where they were practicing shifting and didn't want to have to make up those days, so I switched to automatic. The transition was painless. Kate is a stern instructor, but you can feel that she really cares about her students and wants them to learn how to do the job and do it safely. She does not like to be hugged, but at the end of the program, I understand why someone would want to hug her. She's teaching her students a skill that will ultimately change their and their families lives. The only reason I did not give this program 5 stars is because, when Kate was not able to be there, they sent in Mike, whom made all the students feel uncomfortable. The first day I met him, he gave us an assessment on our skills, and he said I barely passed. I was proud that I passed, and he told me that's nothing to be proud of. Instead of encouraging me he completely made me feel worthless and made my efforts feel futile. If you have Kate as your instructor, you'll have a no nonsense, motherly type instructor that wants to make sure you get your license, but in a safe way. If you get Mike, you'll have a miserable old man that misses his glory days and feels like he's the best at everything he does and will make you feel like crap. KATE...
