    Lyon College provides a very aggressive academic program, their classes are invigorating, challenging, interesting and provide interaction with an amazing faculty. The homework helps to make the information in class concrete within the memory. And finally the overall information covered in class allows for much to be covered.

    The college and surrounding area is amazing. People are very friendly, the college staff is helpful and the area's people really support the college being there and its students. The communtity has all the essentials and offers great opportunties for communtity service. The only downfall is that there is less to do outside of the college if you do not have a ride, the way to deal with that though... is to make friends who do...
    Bang for the buck

    As a private school, the college is very well priced and the products of your money can be seen throughout campus. However, the dorm facilities do not leave that final impression of twenty eight thousand dollars a year...
    Tips for prospective students

    First, if you think Lyon is the college for you, make sure you've taken a tour of the area and the campus. Think about all that you like to do and make sure that the area has it, or most of it available.
    Secondly, if you want to spend a lot of time off-campus, bring a vehicle. There are community bikes that are great for quick trips but for the late night runs to Walmart for coffee and snacks, for the trips out to eat... a car is needed. The college does give opportunities for nights out on the town, when they pay for you to eat dinner, dessert, and go watch a movie, plus, there is free bowling and movies on the weekend... finally, the next thing you should consider is how much time you want to put in, the average time it takes for me to do all of my homework is about 2x the time I spend in class. So for a three times a week class, I do about 6 hours of homework and so forth.

    The teachers here really get into their subject. If you don't get something from the lesson they will try everything in their power to help you understand it.

    When I toured this college, I immediately got a homey feel. The campus was beautiful. Even though the cafeteria and other buildings had been burned down, the plans for new buildings were magnificent. The weather was pleasant. The library had shelves of books and if the library didn't have a book you needed they would find a library that did and get it for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    Lyon has GREAT food. There are a variety of food lines, but there is something about being able to bring a recipe from home and the head cook there make it for you. Batesville also has a number of fine restaurants around town that are at reasonable prices for college students.

    This is a school that would be great for students who are used to small classes. The teachers are wonderful and are very helpful. Just going into one of their offices to ask one question will take an hour if not more because they enjoy their students and they want to know how you are doing.

    I greatly enjoy attending Lyon college. The campus is beautiful, offers a variety of opportunities to socialize with other students, and provides an abundance educational benefits. The people are very helpful and it is extremely easy to make friends that you can depend on. I feel comfortable on the campus. I know that if I accidentally leave something valuable somewhere it will either still be there when I go back or it is turned in somewhere safe.
    Bang for the buck

    Lyon offers many scholarship and grant opportunities to prospective students. There is a very high rate of Lyon graduates getting placed in jobs from their degree bracket within one year of graduating. The professors work WITH the students and want nothing more than their success.
    Tips for prospective students

    Attend Honors Day and fill out any forms you receive on your mylyon account quickly. This will allow you many scholarship opportunities and help with a smooth application process. When it comes to your classes and class work a lot of assignments are posted online. DO THEM. They are there for you to get done with plenty of time to do so. They are easy to complete and they help out a lot on exams. A lot of classes, the assignments are up long enough you can get them all done in advance and forget about them.

    The campus is very spacious, the dorms are fairly large, and the atmosphere is amazing. Everyone basically knows everybody so people feel like family.

    Lyon College is a liberal arts school meaning you learn from many different fields, even your weaker ones. Students are required to take classes in science, math, English, history, foreign language, etc. Upper level classes are challenging and fun.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love Lyon College. The students that attend are fun and friendly sharing your desire to learn. There is always something to do even if that something is studying. Even with the cafeteria burning down and having new eating arrangements, the college manages to make it a fun and easy place to live.
    Bang for the buck

    Lyon College is definitely worth what you will spend there and offers help with paying their tuition.
    Tips for prospective students

    TAKE A TOUR! Get to know the school, the expectations, and the area before you make a decision. Be prepared to be challenged and be wiling to take those challenges head on.

    If you want to do well here, there is no reason that you can't. The teachers are willing to help you. The science labs are very nice, and if you ever have a problem, they have someone on campus who knows how to help you.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone acts like family, and tries to make you feel welcome. There are quite a few student activities.
    Bang for the buck

    Smaller classes, a liberal arts education, and great opportunities all around. So much to do for so little out of pocket!
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely tour the campus, and ask any questions you have. You should also try to talk to a professor in your intended major if you have one, because they can give you specifics.

    Students interested in learning. They are also some great outdoor programs, and bagpiping.
