Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

Lebanon Valley excels in all of its programs! As I am currently planning on majoring in Physical Therapy, I will continue onto the next phase of graduate study in only 3 years! This school cuts off one entire year of schooling, condenses it, but challenges students even more! Some other friends are taking math classes here, and although it is hard, they are all so happy with their education they are receiving! My classes overall are definitely tough as well, but this college gives you such a great education, especially with all of the general education requirements that need to be met.
Jennifer from Taneytown, MD
Lebanon Valley College is a liberal arts college that offers a wide variety of degree programs. The general education classes here are fairly difficult, so you learn a lot besides your degree. This college is mainly known for its Physical Therapy, Science, and Music programs, and I can say from the standpoint of a Music major that the faculty for these programs is stellar. The yearly tuition is rather high, even with the GPA-based scholarships, but it is well worth the cost if you know what sort of education you're looking for.
I absolutely love LVC, the faculty and staff are always kind and helpful.
There are so many mentors and peer helpers to turn to if you are unsure of something, or even if you just want a friend to talk to.
The classes, though difficult at times, prepare you well for real world situations and set you up well for your career.
Ariana from Mechanicsburg, PA
I am in LVC's 6 year Doctorate of Physical Therapy program and while it is tough, I have learned so much by attending this college. Every one of my professors have been great and the small class environment really enhances learning. The professors know your name and know how to help you. You are not considered just another number at LVC. They are more than willing to meet with you whenever you can to help you in any way they can. They make themselves completely accessible to better your learning.
Katie from Doylestown, PA
There are so many different opportunities at LVC and I really can't wait to start taking classes about my major.
Kaitlyn from Williamsport, PA
a place where the student comes first. whether you are into music, science, sports, etc., lebanon valley college is a place where you can find exactly what you are good at and what interests you the most. their main concern is the what is best for their students, not just their bottom line
Mary from Landisburg, PA
Being in the physical therapy program is tough, but I have definitely learned a lot more compared to some of my friends from high school who went to large public schools. Luckily, the professors are always more than willing to help you and have lots of office hours. I have even used some of the information that I've learned at my part time job during breaks, which has definitely been helpful! Even though the courses can be tough, you still have plenty of social time and can meet a lot of nice people! Even though at first glance, the school may not seem socially diverse, it definitely is in it's own way. Everyone is different and that has definitely contributed to my overall learning experience so far. I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything!
Victoria from Ellicott City, MD
LVC is a great, small, community-oriented school to attend for a great education. The classes are challenging, but the professors and multitude of free resources available on campus to all students are there for great support in your success. With the small size, it isn't always the best option for someone who needs the fast-paced urban style of a typical college, but there's always something to do aside from your studies.
Kelsey from Lititz, PA
Classes are definitely hard and push you to your full potential; however, do NOT be scared because every professor motivates you in their own way and make you feel comfortable.
Kirstin from Denver, PA
This is a great college with a fantastic living experience. The college is on the steeper side of price, but is honestly worth the money one would pay to come here. The school is resourceful and very helpful at finding financial aid for those students in need of it greatly.
Gregory from Shamokin, PA
