Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The faculty at Lycoming College really want you to learn and to succeed in class. They are all open to questions and are willing to do whatever it takes to help you.
Am enjoying being here Though, Lycoming College is a small college it offers a wide variety of clubs and organizations to participate in. Moreover, the professors create a desire in you to learn more and enjoy going to class.
Bang for the buck Lycoming College is a private institution so it is more expensive than most public schools. However, the education and experiences which you gain from attending and graduating from here is certainly worth the extra money. They also have a great placement rate after graduation.
Tips for prospective students When looking for a college or university, size and dynamics of the faculty are extremely important. At some schools, the professors don't interact much with their students and some schools have very interactive professors. Generally, the smaller the school the more personal a professor will be.
Great for these types of students Lycoming College is a great choice for students who are looking for a small school in a small city which offers a lot of cultural activities. It also is great for students who want small class sizes and want their professors to know you by name.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lycoming has incredibly educational programs. The professors have incredible knowledge. The campus is beautiful.
Tips for prospective students Students in music or theatre majors should look elsewhere because the programs are not high quality for those majors.
Academic Rigor The academics are challenging but I know I am getting my money's worth.
Dorm Life The dorms are really great and spacious. The only problem is the classes are becoming too large to accommodate all of the students.
Food and Dining The food is terrible but there are so many great local restaurants that make up for it.
What to do for fun Our campus has so many activities every week that keep you busy. Weekly movies that aren't even released yet. Clubs and organizations are always holding events that students can attend.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I am presently a Freshman at Lycoming College. My first year has been a very positive experience for me. I like the feel of the small campus. Everyone at Lycoming is very friendly and there is always someone available to help if a situation arises. Classes are small, so everyone in class has the opportunity to participate. With small classes you can interact with both your fellow classmates and Professors. Everyone at Lyco CARES!!!!
Tips for prospective students The only tip I could give to an incoming Freshman is to come to Lyco with an open mind. As I previously stated, students as well as admininstrators are there for you. All you have to do is take advantage of the availability of same.
Academic Rigor I've had positive experiences with my classes because of the small size of classes. There are times I needed to meet with my Professors to clarify things for me and they were always available.
Dorm Life Dorm life is great. My football coach paired me up with my roommate and we hit it off immediately. Most kids at Lyco are involved in a sport or extracurricular activity. Football coaches at Lyco are awesome. They take the time to not only coach, but take a very active interest in your academics.
Food and Dining My only complaint at Lyco is that the food could be better. Also the cafeteria hours need to be extended secondary to extracurricular activities.
What to do for fun Just hanging out with friends on the campus listening to music, going to concerts, attending sports activities keeps you busy.
Great for these types of students Anyone who would like to play sports, or enjoy extracurricular activities , in addition to academics is the perfect fit for LYCO! Attending LYCO develops you into a very well rounded individual.
Campus Safety Very safe campus!!!!!!

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences lycoming college is a great school and for me, it's close to home, which is important. the campus is beautiful and the class sizes are small so there is a lot of professor-student interaction. i had heard that the psychology program here was really awesome which is why i chose lyco.
Tips for prospective students lycoming college is a liberal arts school, so it allows you to take classes from all different areas of education; take advantage of that. how many other school offer unique classes like history of dinosaurs or chemistry of cooking? also, our foreign language program includes helpful outside-of-class conversation tables and native speakers from all over the world.
Academic Rigor the classes here are very exhaustive in their content and if the students ever need help understanding the material, the professors are always more than happy to help out as much as they can.
Dorm Life dorm life here is very comfortable and each dorm has it's own style. freshman dorms are pretty basic and once you move up, the dorms become more unique. my sophomore year i lived in williams on life floor-- a straight edge (no drinking, no drugs, no smoking) floor. the whole floor was very close as friends. this year, my junior year, i'm living in rich, which is an all girls dorm. and my senior year i plan to live in the commons, which are more like apartments. there are a lot of different living styles to choose from.
Food and Dining the cafeteria here is extremely accommodating. everything is buffet style and there's new food served all the time. they serve vegetarian options, as well as many international options. the cafeteria team is always open to new suggestions and is very polite.
What to do for fun the campus activities board is always thinking of new ideas for what to do for fun. just last week, they brought in an indoor ice-rink! also, they've brought in many comedians, acoustic musicians and bands, a hypnotist, slam poets, and so much more. there's always something to do or something to go see on campus.
Bang for the buck it has been a great experience being on campus; it's definitely worth what we pay to be here.
Clubs and Activities i am currently involved in the dance club. it's run by and taught by students for free and includes so many different styles of dance including ballet, latin, belly, hip hop, contemporary, and dance team. at the end of every semester, the dance club puts on a dance show for the whole campus to come out and watch; it's one of the biggest productions of the semester, and is tons of fun! there are many other clubs and organizations to get involved in including juggling club, amnesty international, better together, and so many more. or you can start your own!
Campus Safety everyone involved in campus security are always helpful and considerate. whenever incidences arise on campus that need attention, they are quick to react in order to keep the campus as safe as possible. also, if students ever need a ride to an appointment or anything, security is always willing to give them a lift. it's very convenient.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lycoming is a great school. The campus area is very quiet and tranquil allowing a very good study environment. The student life atmosphere is very engaging and social.
Tips for prospective students Lycoming has sports and academics. Keep in mind that this is also a liberal arts school. Be sure Lycoming has the best program for your intended major available out of your choices.
Academic Rigor The curriculum itself is vigorous i think. But i think it all depends on who you have as a professor because i think they can tweak how they teach the required curriculum.
Dorm Life It depends. You may get cool people on your floor and you may get people who are loud and obnoxious all the time. Either way, you will find people who you connect with and once you do, you will get the true experience of dorm life. Spending the night in friends' rooms, having movie nights, and planning outings with those people.
Food and Dining The food is ok. In the start of the fall semester in 2011, we changed food service providers and the food is ok. Most times, the cafe food is good and every once in a while is exceptional. But we have fast food places within walking distances away if you ever get tired of cafe food.
What to do for fun There is a mall that is a 30 min bus ride away and students can ride the local bus pretty much anywhere. There is a park right across the street from the campus. Downtown there is a movie theater and at the community arts center there is always something going on. And if you have friends with cars, then you guys can google a place of interest and take a road trip on the weekend and discover a new hobby.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The professors here at Lycoming are AMAZING, well, for the most part. No matter what college you pick, there are going to be those few professors that you dislike, but for the most part, here at Lyco, they are awesome. They make class interesting and fun and the time goes by quickly.
Am enjoying being here I would not change my decision to come to Lyco for the world. It's a small school, so you know the majority of people on campus. Everywhere you go, you can pretty much count on finding someone to say hi to, someone to eat in the caf with, or someone to ask for help. It really is like a little community, and, as cliche as it sounds, I felt like I belonged here from the moment I stepped on campus.
Bang for the buck It may be expensive, but there are so many scholarships, that the price becomes comparable to state schools. Lycoming is a private, liberal arts college, so you are getting a great education. Don't let the sticker-shock deter you from applying because Financial Aid is always willing to work with students to make it affordable.
Tips for prospective students Visit. Once you visit the campus, you will know once and for all whether the small campus is right for you. Also, don't be afraid of not knowing anyone at a certain activity. If you're interested in a club, go for it. Chances are you will have about 20 new friends after you join.
Great for these types of students Business Administration or Archeaology interested majors. People who want the community feel.
