Lorain County Community College

Elyria, OHPublicRank 835 of 1,732

Heads-up: 77% of undergraduates here are part-time and 29% study fully online (IPEDS fall 2023). Large part-time, online or adult populations can make the later-years average look lower for reasons unrelated to freshman aid, so this college is left out of the default traditional ranking.
