I think it would be a good college for someone who cannot afford private school but still wants a good education. The campus is very nice and there is a lot of places to go to study. The students are chill and there is nothing bad that happens here.

Online courses are great in Lehman college. All of my experiences have been good, and Professors are very understanding and wish to help you in any way they can. Blackboard is easy to learn and its coursework understandable. The online learning experience at Lehman College has been overall wonderful.

it is great! Campus police ensures safety. There is a ton of parking also. Lastly, the campus is big but not too big. There is a ton of nature. You would not think you were in NYC just by being on campus. This is a great school to learn, teach, and grow!

Overall, Lehman College is one of the few CUNY schools to have an actual campus with beauty of landscape and architecture to admire. Access to food is easy but on-campus options can get boring easily. Off-campus food nearby is diverse and accessible. General education is worth the investment here. As a nursing major, I must admit to it's high competitiveness, difficulty, and SEVERE departmental disorganization.

My overall opinion of Lehman College is being in a comfortable environment. The campus is big enough to walk around and the extra curricular activities varies. They also have a lot of events open to students to participate. The college is comfortable for people to study or go to the gym and even hang out with friends.

CUNY Lehman is a beautiful historic campus. There is many things to do on and off campus. If you need help with anything, there is easy access. They also have an amazing student health center. This center has various amounts of doctors that helps people a great amount. Gynecologist to social workers. They have everything!

Lehman College is a university where you can make the best of what is in front of you. People think that Lehman College is like other colleges but it's not. Lehman College has advisors and teachers who want the very best for you. At Lehman College I feel comfortable and safe.

The campus is beautiful and heavily involved into current events. The campus has a lot of opportunities and support. There are fantastic professors and students that made positive impact in my life. However, lacks safety. I barely feel safe on campus and leaving campus. There isn’t enough safety officers. It is an open campus that anyone can enter campus without a student id or proper identifications. There has been a lot of incidents on campus where students go threatened, physically hurt or sexually harassed. Alot of offices such as admission, bursar, financial aid and advisement are disorganized and unprofessional. If you are a transfer student such as myself, you will be loss. There is a lack of support for transfer students. If you have to handle something in the offices I mentioned above, you have to do your research, ask questions and follow up because no one does their job in those departments.

Great college, many resources. They just need to make students more aware of the services the the school provides. Make the food more affordable and healthier choices for students. Signs posted about events and clubs things. Make sure the elevators are working properly.

Lehman College is a very great school, especially for students who live around New York City and would like a school that's great for commuting. Lehman College always has many different events that go on daily, and there's almost never a dull moment.

I find this school to pretty cool. This is my first college so I can't really compare it to others but I do enjoy being here. You do run into professors who don't care if you pass or fail but the majority that i found really do care about you and want you to succeed. The offices are pretty meh. Although they do what they can do help, if they can't help, expect to run around office to office as they send you everywhere and your whole day is wasted since there are always long lines.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The schedule in college is very flexible. You can decided what time and day would most likely be best to take according to your personal schedule. College is not as intense as everyone makes out to seem. Yes, there is material and essay that will be required to be completed but overall the workload is very managable. You dont need to know what your major will be and you dont have to declare a major until you reach approx. 60 credits. Dont feel afraid to ask questions to any department regardless if it annoys them, they are here to help you.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
the cost of school is very reasonable. The professor that teach at lehman also teach in schools with great reputaton, ex NYU. same quality education for less money.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The lack of creditablility compared to Ivy League and top tier universities and the abililtiy to compete for internships and jobs with students from those universities.
A person that likes the city a urban enviroment. That likes meeting new people. This school is full of people all hard working and trying to become someone important in this community.
The best thing about Lehman is the Student Life building and campus location. Also the under ground tunnels ; in the winter, no need to go outside. One thing i would change is the lunch menu. Lehman is just the right size. Its not too large nor too small. Everyones reaction is different to Lehman. Some wished they went to Lehman and some don't. Most of my time is spent in the library, the study rooms are helpful !
