What Students Are Saying
The college is a bit pricey compared to many in-state schools, but compared to most private colleges, LVC gives great scholarships. If you are in the top 10% of your class, you receive half off of your tuition! Even then, those who graduate in the top 20% receive one-third off of tuition, and those in the top 30% receive one-fourth off of tuition! The education, again, is just awesome. I have learned so much in just one semester that most of my friends going to public universities have not in the same courses!
Jennifer from Taneytown, MD
It is very expensive to attend LVC, but I feel it is worth it not only from an academic standpoint, but also because it prepares you so well for a career. The connections you make at LVC will last you well past college and the experiences are invaluable.
Ariana from Mechanicsburg, PA
LVC is relatively expensive compared to state schools, however, when looking at other private institutions, LVC ranks high on the list. LVC gives out a lot of money through scholarships and then some. If you are determined to stay there, they will help you out in anyway they can. Overall, the experience I have already had there is priceless.
Katie from Doylestown, PA
The small class sizes really make it worth it. Also, laundry is free, and you have an unlimited amount of copies. The dorms are nice too, and the food is great.
Kaitlyn from Williamsport, PA
lebanon valley college is a private college that is expensive. however, the quality of education here is top-notch as well as the personal experience that one gets.
Mary from Landisburg, PA
Since LVC is a small liberal arts, private institution it of course is a bit more pricey than your average large, in state, public school. However, I believe with the 3 scholarships they offer based on your class rank during high school, surely you can get some kind of financial help. I think for the physical therapy program the price is definitely well worth it and will save you the headache of applying for graduate schools. This is of course if physical therapy is your calling and you can keep up with the high GPA requirements. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Victoria from Ellicott City, MD
While many are intimidated by the cost of the school, LVC offers great Presidential scholarships to good students, which reduces their tuition by one quarter to one half. The educational quality that you get here is worth it, because the challenging classes prepare you well ahead of those at other institutions.
Kelsey from Lititz, PA
LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE IS CHEAPER THAN YOU THING. With all there scholarships, you just need to take the time and do the research.
Kirstin from Denver, PA
This college delivers in academics and social aspects, but the food brings this college down a tad bit. In reality I would give LVC a 4.5 and recommend it strongly to anyone looking for a good academic experience.
