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.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some of the classes are very challenging, but the information and different ways of learning that you can take from them really prepare you for post-graduation experiences.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Many students here live in the dorms for more time than some students at other schools. Apartment suites and some houses are also available on campus, but are usually only for seniors and some juniors. RAs try to plan activities to engage their floors to create more of a sense of community within the dorms, but this also greatly depends on the group of people you're living with and if they participate.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Almost all students are required to have a meal plan, and Metz, the company who provides all of the food services, is expanding their options and shifting hours of food availability around right now to better cater to students' needs. The food is usually decent, however, can often get a bit monotonous.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are off-campus bus trips sponsored by the school and opportunities with classes and clubs to be involved away from LVC. With such a big music school, there are lots of concerts, performances in music, as well as plays, and monthly coffeehouse events. On weekends, the school brings in a comedian on Friday nights and also hosts an Underground dance club at the student center.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While many are intimidated by the cost of the school, LVC offers great Presidential scholarships to good students, which reduces their tuition by one quarter to one half. The educational quality that you get here is worth it, because the challenging classes prepare you well ahead of those at other institutions.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are great traditions on campus that set LVC apart-- the annual Dutchmen Day excitement when students are surprised with a day off of classes while the campus is turned into a carnival, more or less; the intense football team's rivalry with Albright College--if we win, there's a march organized to the President's house to ask for a day off before Thanksgiving break.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many various activities to participate in on campus, and if they don't offer a club or group that you're interested in, there are constantly new ones being formed by students who wish to offer something new to the campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Annville and the LVC campus are very safe and there is relatively little crime/theft/violence that occurs on our campus and in this small and quiet town.
