Lorain County Community College (LCCC) is a public community college in Elyria, Ohio, United States, with learning centers in Wellington, North Ridgeville, and Lorain. In addition to associate degrees and certificates, students can earn bachelor's and master's degrees on campus through the college's partnerships with universities.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,598/year after aid and only $8,917 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree or transfer you'll find. The concern is a 33% graduation rate, which means most students who start don't finish — worth asking yourself honestly whether you have the schedule flexibility and support system to see it through. If you're cost-conscious, planning to transfer to a four-year school, or need a local, low-debt option to build credits, it can work well — just go in with a clear plan.
