Lyndon State College has a warm community that welcomes everyone with open arms. The professors put in a real effort to get to know you even outside of classes. The students are hard working and love the school with all their hearts knowing that it is their home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would suggest to students looking at the school to remember to do your homework and take advantage of the tutoring services that are available. I would also suggest to just talk with your professors and create relationships. A good recommendation or a bad one for a job or internship can depend on weather you and your professor know each other well. You can also have fun, but remember that you have to balance your work and play so you have enough time for everyone.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I would say the academic rigor is not that bad. As long as you do your assignments and work hard then you can do it. It is not that hard but the professors do have high standards for your work.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
They are not call dorms, they are called residence halls because it is not just a place to stay. The Residence Assistants sets up activities every month for you to do. It really is a close knit community.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is pretty good for school food. There is always pizza, a hot meal, grill options, a salad or fruit bar, soup, sandwiches, desserts, and even a specialty bar. There they make different special dishes. For example stir fry with your choice of veggies or pasta dishes. There are a lot of choices in the dining hall, everyone can find something to eat. If you don't then you can go to the Hornet's Nest where they have a grill and all sorts of snacks. There you have to buy the food with a point system but it is a good place to go when you want a snack later at night.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The Campus Activity Board puts on events each week. They will invite comedians, magicians and even musicians. Every week they play a fairly new movie that is free. Most weeks they have little events in the student center that involves getting free stuff. One week we made molds of our hands out of wax. There is also Burke Mountain just down the road for winter recreation, a skate park out back behind the Stone Hedge Complex and many little stores downtown.
Plus there are a lot of different clubs that anyone can join.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You get a great education for being a fairly inexpensive for a school.

There is a fountain in the middle of campus that is always going, even in winter. When it freezes it makes this huge ice pillar that people can climb.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who like cool weather and want easy accesses to a ski mountain really should consider going to Lyndon State College.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a huge variety of clubs on campus. Ranging from the theater club to even a quidditch team. If you can not find a club you like then you can start one yourself as long as you find others interested in it too.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am not really sure there is a Greek life. I don't think I have seen a club or anything but I am sure if some one was determined they could start a Greek life club.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
We have a great public safety team that makes sure everyone is safe. You can call them 24/7 and get help from them for anything. Vermont is a pretty safe place in general but this campus is also very safe.
