Not only are there many opportunities for students to receive extra assistance with courses, but the teachers themselves are more than willing to sit down and help a student understand the material. The students are welcoming and there are ample groups on campus to join. The campus itself is beautiful and because of this more people go outside which is something all colleges ought to strive for seeing as how there is a pandemic of young people who stay inside playing video games.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are looking for a college whose students are close then come here. It is a small school so pretty much everyone knows everyone. The professors are great and very accommodating, and the LC community in general is very welcoming. Lynchburg the city is not great, so everyone stays on the campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The courses are not too difficult, but they definitely become increasingly so after a few semesters. There is a senior thesis and a class called senior symposium which is quite difficult and stressful, however that is when the student is a senior so they are better prepared.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The Resident Assistants are great and very welcoming as well. When you are a freshman, older students help to move him/her in. There are a few important rules but other than that it's pretty relaxed. There are now certain dorms specifically for freshman, so there is no alcohol which is good because there are parties everywhere else on campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I am a vegetarian so I don't know about all the food, but the non-meat food is good. There are many options at the dining hall as well as other places on campus to go that are also good. Cereal and sandwiches are offered for extended hours which is great if someone is in classes throughout the lunch period.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a ridiculous amount of activities to do at LC. The groups range from LGBT to a Green Thumb club. Students can become part of the government on campus, and there are academic trips made off campus such as the ethics bowl many philosophy majors participate in. There is a lake near the school and although we can't swim in it it is nice to sit out there on the dock and read a good book or go jogging on the trail.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Since it's a private school and doesn't receive financial aid from the state, it is expensive however I think it is worth it. A lot of money is put into activities as well as the aesthetic appearance of the campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
In the middle of the campus there is a step on which they say if people go over it you will have to spend an extra year in school. This is true for me because I am having to do just that!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Outgoing, friendly, studious, welcoming.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many activities, and students can create their own group as long as it goes through the correct people and gets approved. Illegal groups on campuses are much frowned upon.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am not sure because I have never joined, and only hear rumors about the drama perpetuated by people involved in these groups.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Although there was one incident of a creeper trying to attack girls last year, there are generally no problems. Campus security offers rides to people late at night, and any student can call and request a ride back to their house or dorm. Emergency e-mails and text messages are sent out when there is an emergency and there is an alarm they check often to make sure is still working.
