Lynn University is by far the most diverse college campus I have ever been to. There are people ranging from Boston, Massachusetts all the way to Pakistan. I rate Lynn University a ten out of ten, here you are not a number you are a student that is part of a larger family.
Tips for prospective students
If you are a student that would like to be in a smaller class setting, this is the place for you. The professors are always there for help in the classroom or during office hours. They are not there for the weekly pay check but are there to see their students succeed.
Academic Rigor
After finishing freshman year at Lynn University, the academic rigor varied. All of the core curriculum classes were rather easy and not much effort is need in doing well. As for the major classes the classes are extremely tough and rigorous.
Dorm Life
Dorm life is probably the main reason I love the school so much. The people I met are all like a family away from home. Everybody knows everybody.
Food and Dining
The food is wonderful, there are so many selections for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From make your own omelets, to hibachi style stir fry.
What to do for fun
There is plenty to do for fun, the beach is less than three miles away. It is also located in a town with two other big universities.
Bang for the buck
One downfall for the school it is really expensive, but what can you expect when the school looks like a country club. On the upside the University gives plenty of scholarships.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
One unusual tradition would be the KNIGHTS UNITE DAY OF CARING. During this event all of the students get together and choose from hundreds of different community service projects to take part in.
Great for these types of students
Students who like to get to know their teachers personally and are very independent.
Clubs and Activities
Due to the diversity there are hundreds of clubs on campus, and it is very simple to create a new club or interest group.
Greek Life
There are two fraternities and two sororities on campus. It is not the same as most schools because unfortunately in the city of Boca Raton it is illegal to have frat and sorority houses.
Campus Safety
This university is by far the safest I have ever been on. In order to get onto campus one must go through security and show ID.

This school has everything you want in your typical dream school. I love the message they believe that students should't be measured by numbers, so it's Test-Optional. Even though it may be a bit expensive they provide a lot of Financial Aid!
Tips for prospective students
Make sure to visit the campus so you can see exactly what Lynning is like before you visit! I came over for a visit during my Sophomore summer and it was the best campus visit yet!
Academic Rigor
They seem fair and of course just like any school you must work hard. So don't slack off and you'll do fine.
Dorm Life
Lynn have various types of dorms that are suitable for everyone!
Food and Dining
The Lynn Dining Experience is like the whole entire world in one room! Since Lynn has various students from all around the world, they provide cuisines that are well know from those countries!
What to do for fun
Since Lynn is located in Sunshine Sate Florida the possibilities are endless! And with just an hour drive away from Miami you won't ever be bored while attending here at Lynn!
Bang for the buck
Lynn offers various Financial Aid, so they'll help you out the best they can.
Clubs and Activities
While visiting this school they told me about the various club they offer. One thing I found interesting was how you can play sports here even if you aren't on the official team. And if you can't find a club that's suitable for you, you can create your own!
Campus Safety
You are provided with an ID that lets you get into places, so you don't have to worry about strangers coming in the campus. Also security guards check you in before you enter the campus.

Lynn University is a small private school which is great because that means less students. Less students means that you can have a lot of one on one situations with the professor and you can get closer to your classmates. The school seems to be a very welcoming beautiful campus with staff members available to make you feel comfortable.
Tips for prospective students
If you have any questions, feel free to call the school. They are very kind and welcoming.
Academic Rigor
So far, it seems great!
Dorm Life
As an incoming freshman, the dorms look fantastic!
What to do for fun
Participate in school activities, go to the beach, wonder around the cities, and spend time with friends.

I love the campus and the size of the student body. Everyone is welcoming and very friendly. The food is UNLIMITED and the campus has great security and all the students are always safe.
Tips for prospective students
You will have no regrets. Also, it does not matter if you apply early or late, you will get a great room. I applied late in March and I still got the roommate and the type of room I requested.
Academic Rigor
They have every type of major and it is a great place to study.
Dorm Life
The dorms are EXTREMELY spacious and there is always space leftover after you have finished moving all of your stuff as well as your roommates stuff in.
Food and Dining
The food is DELICIOUS. It is also free and unlimited buffet. It is open 24/7. So f you have to stay up late studying, u can always go to the caf. Whether it is at 12 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning.
What to do for fun
There is a huge mall 5 minutes from the school that has restaurants, clothing shops, and a movie theater not too far. There are also a lot of concerts at the school. Guests include The Plain White T's as well as other famous artists.

If you are looking for a small close knit university, then this is the college for you. It is liberal meaning you jump right into your major without taking any pre-reqs. The scenery on campus is gorgeous.
Tips for prospective students
Come here with an open mind and be ready to network. There are so many people here who want the same thing as you if you take the time to know people.
Academic Rigor
The professors here teach at a normal pace. I came from one of the top 10 schools in the nation and I adjusted well.

Dorm life here is great! Most of the people are nice and your RA's are more than helpful with everything.

This school is more expensive than usual so be prepared to break the bank.
