Review of Lenoir-Rhyne University

from Roebuck, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Everyone knows each other and everyone really gets along. Don't be fooled by the Lutheran Denomination, we have a wide range of students with various beliefs. Lenoir Rhyne has an amazing community and a rich history

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get to know the campus!!!!!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Depends on how you apply yourself.. we have small classes so it is great to get hands on and one on one with your teachers

Describe the dorm life at your college.

freshmen have a choice between two dorms that are so-so to good.. you can choose Morgan or Ike. Morgan has community bathrooms and its own AC in each dorm (its pretty awesome and you dont have to clean your own bathroom like in Ike) Ike is a bit older but it equals out in the end if you like total and utter quiet and privacy. Ike is for students who really want a lot of privacy. I strongly recommend touring both dorms to get a better feel.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Everything is great here! we have a burger cafe and a subway coming in summer of 2013!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

hickory is a small town but you are not far from hikes, mountains, and ski resorts. We have awesome Pizza joints and such. Lenoir Rhyne also has its own movie theater in Fritz-Conrad

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

LRU is a private school so it is expensive in state or out. I think that the college should have more to offer for its price.. but i promise you will not regret it here!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have an odd tradition of Dressing the Charge, which is a giant statue of the black bear. One time Playing Carson Newman In football someone placed an eagle in the charges mouth! We also have a all you can eat midnight pancake breakfast before the exams for all you crammers and hard workers :)

Which types of students will excel at your college?

students looking for a smaller school with hands on teachers and friendly people

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

LR has solid Varsity sports teams (needless to say football at LR is awesome!) we have just about every Sport for both male and Female. We have an Equestrian team. And we have clubs ranging from dodge ball to quidditch :) ... to grapelling. LR is open to any idea of student clubs so you can easily start one!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek like at LR is honesty terrible... we have two for the guys and i think three or four for the girls. only 9% of students are involved in Greek life. But we also have tons of Clubs that may mimic Greek Life

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

this campus is beyond safe and secure. We never have issues of crime here
