Around Town

Even though Lyon is set in a small town, the campus seems to have a lot of events going on to keep the students entertained. Lyon has a Scottish heritage which means you will hear a lot of bag pipes! I personally love this kind of stuff. The town itself has what you would expect: movie theater, bowling and alternative places to eat.

The surrounding town is boring, but student life makes the campus fun. There are always ways to stay entertained while on campus.

sporting events, because the town is small and desolate.

Typically, I just hang out with my friends. We go swimming or athletic events around campus. There is also a disc golf course on campus.

The LEAP program is by far one of the coolest program additions to the college. It is an outdoor and adventure program. This program takes students on trips to go rock climbing, canoeing/kayaking, mountain biking, ice climbing, camping, and hiking. Other than going on extreme outdoor adventures you can also hang out in the student center in the bottom of Ed's playing pool or video games on one of the six flat-screen televisions. On the weekends the apartment row usually has parties going on which are really fun for nightlife because you know just about everyone there.

Go to movies Bowling Hang out with fraternities and sororities

There is usually always something to do on campus during the weekends. The fraternities usually have parties on the weekends and the clubs on campus hold many events throughout the year. The LEAP program usually has an outdoor trip on the weekends and they are usually very affordable and welcoming to students of all fitness and experience levels. The college is pretty good at bringing good entertainers and activities to campus. If there is not anything going on, there is always the game room and the outside facilities.

It's a small town and there is a lot of outdoors activities you can do. I went mudding, 4 wheeling, fishing, etc all of the time when I had the chance. It's awesome!

Lyon's LEAP (Lyon Education & Adventure Program) takes trip rock climbing, kayaking, skydiving, camping, biking, etc. on a regular basis. There are numerous clubs to join to fit any taste, from recycling to art to Greek life to just sitting around and playing card games. Honestly, you won't get bored if you go outside looking for something to do.

There are e-mails sent out almost every day about something you can do for fun. The college home page has a few things on it too.
