    Am learning a lot

    All of my teachers are well-qualified for their positions and, while I had to get used to their teaching methods, I've learned a lot. Classes are more intense than high school, with much more information and higher expectations, but the competency of the teachers and their willingness to meet with students to talk things out make this a good learning environment. The pace and teaching methods may be hard on some, but students should do well if they don't procrastinate and put in good effort.
    Am enjoying being here

    The events (such as comedians, shows, etc), weekly movies, sports teams, clubs, and many areas for students to congregate make for a quiet but content atmosphere. Although the town of Lyndonville has plenty to do between fast-food restaurants, a bowling alley, and a hockey rink, students used to a high-action life style may find themselves at loose ends. Those who prefer to surround themselves with friends and live a quiet life of studying and personal projects (like myself) will be right at home.
    Bang for the buck

    As an out-of-state student, the price tag for Lyndon was a little painful. However, compared to other larger colleges, Lyndon is an excellent choice as far as quality- and their financial aid office, while often swamped, does a good job of keeping people in school. The teachers are great and well-qualified, the staff are more than willing to help, and the facilities themselves are good, if a little older. Overall, it's a good choice for less money.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for all the scholarships and grants possible- while Lyndon is less expensive than many other schools, you still don't want to owe a lot in loans upon graduating. Make sure to write down all your deadlines, and don't hesitate to ask questions; the financial aid and admissions departments are very helpful. Be organized, check out the website for information, contact your potential roommate as soon as possible if you're going to live on campus, and make sure to bring cold weather clothes. This is the North Country, after all.
    Great for these types of students

    Lyndon has many excellent programs, including those for atmospheric science, English/writing, and human services. Due to its small size, people from smaller towns may feel more comfortable here than in larger schools. Locals may also like it for the commute. It's quiet, safe, and high-quality. There isn't too much to do in such a small college, but it may be a good fit for those more interested in learning than partying.

    It's a great school, it can get boring at times but looking out your window to the mountains everyday always makes it better. The professors are awesome and really do care about you. Winters suck because they last forever but overall I think it's a great place to be.
    Tips for prospective students

    Learn to ski or snowboard it gives you something to do during the long winter.
    Academic Rigor

    Academically it's not bad. Depending on your major will depend how strict and demanding your classes are of you. If you put in the time and effort you should have no problem.
    Dorm Life

    It's alright, can look like a prison at times but you meet some cool people. Most of the RA's are chill, some of the residents halls are haunted.
    Food and Dining

    They're just now switching the dinning hall food service so it could be better but the food is just very repetitive and not the best. High five for grilled cheese and sandwiches everyday.
    What to do for fun

    In the winter skiing or snowboarding, partying, long boarding, recording in the studio, any outdoor activities. Racquetball is personally my favorite, and visiting Darling Hill.
    Bang for the buck

    Being an out of state student I'd say there are a lot of better colleges out there, but if you're going into the Music Industry major this is a perfect school.
    Great for these types of students

    Do the work and you'll have a lot of free time. Lyndonville can get very boring really fast so if you're honestly considering coming here be sure you're going to be okay not being around a lot of stores/malls.

    from the amount of time i have spent at lyndon state without even being accepted, i have enjoyed it and fine the staff to be very welcoming and knowledgeable. come from the area and living in a big city has surely made me appreciate a smaller college which sits down one on one and helps out each individual.

    lyndon state college has to be one of the most affordable colleges across the united states. it also has a great diverse student body and has people coming in from all over. even though its a small college, lyndon is one of the best choices for those who want to really focus on their studies, which is why i give it a 4/5.
    Tips for prospective students

    for those who are interested in coming to lyndon state, i would suggest to have an open mind to everything. there are a lot of different cultures and personal backgrounds that you may have to work with. you should also aim to make friends because being that it's a small college, you want to try to hang out with people to make for a better experience. also, bring lots of warm clothing because during the winter, it gets really cold.
    Academic Rigor

    the classes they offer here are not only bound to what major you are planing on taking, but can also broaden your mind to new possibilities. with the classes they serve here, you will be able to learn new things that can possibly change your outlook on life.
    Dorm Life

    the dorm arrangements that they have are pretty fair. the rooms are a bit small but with some maneuvering of furniture, you can make it sustainable. the roommates and suite mates may very, but its a good idea to get to know them so then you can have a good year at lyndon.
    Food and Dining

    the food they serve is divine. its 5 star quality and you have a lot to choose from. the dining hall is large enough for everyone and has wireless, that way you can work and eat at the same time. the staff is wonderful and they treat you almost like family, making the experience more comfortable.
    What to do for fun

    the clubs that they have around the campus keep you occupied. there is also a pool if you want to go swimming for a quick dip. another thing that is fun is all of the evens the cab hosts for us. we get to see comedians, jugglers, and famous viral video performers. there is also a new skate park and basketball court so then you can shred and play hoops.
    Bang for the buck

    this college costs less than most colleges around, and for what you get here for services, its worth it. you get access to a whole library that not only holds books, but also have a room to watch movies, listen to music, and a ps3 that the college bought for the students to use. you also get access to a weight room and with the purchase of coming to the college, you get a personal trainer who will work with you. and by popular demand, the whole college is now wireless.
    Great for these types of students

    this college is good for any kids that want to relax and have fun without the need of a busy city. its also a great place if you want to major in climatology, mountain rec, and meteorology. but this college is also a good match for student who want a close community with both other students and the teacher here.
    Clubs and Activities

    the college has 25+ clubs and organizations. they range from sports clubs, to student government, to role playing club. the clubs they have reach out to almost everyone in the college. they even have the college radio station as a club, so anyone can be a radio dj.
    Campus Safety

    the campus security here at lyndon state college is pretty good. the always patrol to make sure that the student body is safe at night. they are always reachable and are nice to everyone.

    It's a small school allowing for more student/teacher interaction. On the same note the classes are smaller allowing for questions to be asked. But it's a small school so there isn't much to do in the surrounding area.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you really wish to go their. And make friends with cars.
    Dorm Life

    It's great if you get in the right group. Can be a little rowdy as all people that age get.

    Bad food that is repeating week from week.
    What to do for fun

    Hang out with friends, or go to the many pizza restaurants in town.
    Bang for the buck

    Could be a little more class availability.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The orienteering program, SOAR, is definitely different, but was able to meet other people in major and kept a few good friends
    Greek Life

    Only one frat/sorority. based on grades.

    Fair amount of help boxes, a public safety program on campus that responds fairly quickly.
