Lyon College is for students who want to take a different and unique approach to the college experience. The smaller setting allows students to have opportunities that they wouldn't find at a larger university. If you want to have a fulfilling and worthwhile College experience, choose Lyon.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply as EARLY AS POSSIBLE. This will allow you to get a speedy admission decision. Also, ask about the Honor Scholarship that can give you a FULL RIDE.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Lyon College offers a prestigious and challenging academic setting. Lyon does challenge you in many ways, but you are not alone when it comes to studies. While larger universities tend to have little student to professor contact, Lyon's professors are always willing to help the students with anything they are struggling with. As a student that wants to learn as much as possible, this was one of the top reasons I chose Lyon.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I got to sleep in one of the nice new dorms they had during ACT Camp, and I was very impressed. Of course, there are the older dorms, but they are not bad. I really like how the dorms are set up, and felt right at home.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food selection is average to good. I am one of those guys who will eat whatever you put on my plate, but maybe a few more options would be nice. Of course, the bakery was amazing!!! I know where I will be going each day ;)
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Even though Lyon is set in a small town, the campus seems to have a lot of events going on to keep the students entertained. Lyon has a Scottish heritage which means you will hear a lot of bag pipes! I personally love this kind of stuff. The town itself has what you would expect: movie theater, bowling and alternative places to eat.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Despite the cost, Lyon is going to give you one of the best college experiences compared to other schools at the same price. The academic prestige, culture and preparation for life after college are all so great that the cost is worth it. I promise you, DO NOT LET THE COST KEEP YOU AWAY. This school is way to good to ignore if you have it on your college lists.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Scottish Heritage. Did I mention bag pipes ;)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone looking for a unique and fulfilling college experience that will prepare you for life.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Personally, I plan on playing in the band and maybe joining the baseball team, but there is also many other sports for both males and females on campus. The football program got going again a few years ago, and they are only getting better.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Very safe campus and town. They seem to make your safety a top priority at Lyon. Never felt threatened or uneasy while walking it at night.
