Review of Lincoln Memorial University

from White Bluff, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Lincoln Memorial is a good choice for students that prefer a smaller college environment. The area of Harrogate,TN and Middlesboro,KY is just big enough to have everything you need but not overcrowded.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be sure to stay on top of the admissions staff. They have a history of taking awhile to get application/ financial aid info processed.

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

The professors on campus are all well educated, and will challenge you. The course work is rigorous, but it is do-able. Lots of opportunities for tutoring if needed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

During the week the dorm life is great. It's the perfect balance of social life/ fun and privacy. The people on campus are generally very friendly and it is not hard to quickly find a good circle of friends around campus. The main complaint I have about dorm life is that it is by far a suitcase campus. A vast majority of students go home on the weekends, although there are still plenty of things to do around campus. It is definitely recommended to have a vehicle on campus.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is good, and if you live on campus you are required to sign up for a meal plan. The cafeteria has a good selection, with a wide variety of international and traditional foods. There is also a WOW Wingery and Starbucks on campus that has a good selection with decent prices.

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

The national park less than 10 minutes away is a good choice for those that enjoy hiking. (The pinnacle overlook is a must see when visiting campus). There is a decent sized mall with a very good value movie theater($3-4 movie tickets). If you like to party there are plenty of opportunities to do so all throughout the week both on and off campus, you just have to ask.

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

The tuition/overall cost to attend is relatively inexpensive compared to other similar private schools. Especially if you are a Pre-Med, Vet Tech, or Wildlife/Fisheries major.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Student services puts on several events throughout the year ranging from open mic nights and lip syncing contests to foam parties and video game nights.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

It is definitely a great choice for those students that love the outdoors. There are many places in the surrounding area to hunt, fish, hike,mountain bike, rock climb, camp, etc. It is also good for students that prefer smaller communities and groups. The people on campus really are like a big family.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are lots of clubs on campus that host a wide range of events all throughout the year.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are 3 fraternities and 3 sororities on campus. They all have some sort of house or room that they conduct there activities in. Greek life is very active on campus all year round.

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

The campus security is top notch. There is campus security and also armed Campus police officers that patrol and monitor 24/7. There is constantly at least 2 officers on duty who can be seen driving around monitoring activities on campus. They are for the most part very understanding and generous when it comes to traffic, visitation, and alcohol violations. There are security cameras in all university buildings and I can say first-hand that they are watched at all times(don' t ask haha).
