Lyon College is easily the most tightly-knit community in the entire state of Arkansas. All of the students, regardless of their class, know each other and are just as willing as the teachers to help out. It is good at making you feel safe, loved, and prepared for the real world with its grueling curriculum and fantastic faculty.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Go to the Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions to make sure you're properly prepared for your classes. Get involved in the community; people are more than willing to accept you so it's a good time to find yourself. Study hard and take all of your classes seriously; there is not an easy class on campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
As aforementioned, it is top notch; they are especially good at helping you build a major that fits your needs. While the classes may be difficult, the teachers are willing to work with you to make sure you understand, even if it means taking time out of their personal schedule. As long as you work hard, each class you take will make you a better student.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are dorms; there's not much to be said about them. They can be home if you make it home. They're cleaned regularly, have constant courtesy hours to insure easy studying, and the RA's are always there for you to talk.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
It's average cafeteria food, but the staff really make it worth it. They'll chat with you and make your day if you're down. The dessert is award winning and top notch however.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you have time for fun, there's always a movie showing somewhere or a game of ultimate frisbee going on. You can get involved with Greek life, band, theatre, sports, spirit teams, or create your own groups for anything possible. Though Batesville is small, it offers enough to keep you happy.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The education is top-notch, no competition. The teachers all know what they're doing, and they prepare you for the real world. It may be a lot of money, but you'll be able to make more money in the future.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The campus is known for being haunted. Ghost hunters have come over from time to time to investigate various stories like the ghost children in the chapel or Fred in one of the girl's dorms.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who want to work hard for their best education possible would thrive at Lyon. Those who don't know what they want to do and want to explore and those who want to study abroad get good opportunities too. Lyon also has an excellent Pre-Med program with a 100% acceptance rate into medical school.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is literally something for everyone from drama and choir to sports to cooking to Dungeons and Dragons to bagpipes. If you're interested in it, Lyon can make it happen because the President is just an email away. It is easy to get involved.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The campus is home to four fraternities and three sororities that remain active in philanthropy, intramural activities, and student life. The Greek population is huge on Lyon campus and is easily the best way to get involved. Unlike big schools, Greek life is safe, free from hazing and the peer pressure felt at the state level.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The only trouble I've had with safety is a car break-in. The campus has no history of violent attacks or anything of that nature. If there is, it is usually quickly resolved and dealt with.
