  I am very disappointed to this point. I am starting online classes in January and not one person told me if I have to be logged into the classes at a certain time. I have no idea what books I will need. I have no idea how to actually get onto my classes, because the only link to access online classes says “classes can not be accessed through this page.” The financial aid office is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! They actually went in and changed my mothers income on my fasfa claiming that she made three times as much as she did last year(she’s on disability and makes well under 10,000 a year). They changed it to say that she got over 20k – which is certainly untrue. That is a flat out lie about my mothers income, who again – is disabled, to the government, when we gave a written statement showing what she ACTUALLY made. When I called to have this corrected and find out why on earth anyone would have changed ANYTHING, I received abrupt and very rude, ignorant service that I would never accept from any company that provides me with any other type of product or service. The choice to make INACCURATE changes to my mothers income was then defended by this person, which again makes absolutely no sense to me. I’m thinking this person made the change specifically, for reasons beyond my knowledge. The only excuse that was given was that “Nobody lives on nothing!”

  If it were not for the skyrocketing tuition at my previous school, I would go running back!!!! But hopefully, reviews on other sites will prove to be true and I’m hoping it will get better after the process with the ignorant, incompetent administrative staff is finished.

  attention to detail is a joke here, get ready for 3 bills at the end of the semester, with different numbers, and pay all three or you’ll get collection notices. the professors for the most part are honest but the admins seem to either have no care or no idea how to do their jobs, for example making schedules and dates for classes to start. as of right now i have tried every link to any calender on the site and it says classes start between the 13th and 20th for the spring semester, i think that speaks for itself when you think of commuting. i would call but ive tried that before and i have gotten as many answers as bills. student to faculty ratio is low i hear 37:1 and there seems to be a higher than standard idea among the professors that their class is understandably their life, and it should be yours as well. over all the people are old school, stone age old school they have no idea how to run a school and if youre looking for a crowded incompetant excuse for a school, blow your money and TIME here at Lehigh Carbon.
