Lebanon Valley College Reviews

Currently, I am a freshman at Lebanon Valley College. There is a strong Physical Therapy Program here and many Biology Majors. The math program is also very strong. The campus is small but growing. Lebanon Valley College is a predominately white campus, although there is a strong support system for diverse students. Not all dorms have an air conditioning unit. Public Safety constantly picks up any fallen tree branches, shovels snow, and checks buildings to keep the campus safe. Annville is a small quiet town and the elderly are not afraid to call the police if the parties get too rowdy. The campus food is not the best, but there is always a salad bar and deli. Turkey Hill also supplies the ice cream. Overall, Student Life is wonderful because of the small campus atmosphere, residential life, and strong support systems.

With an 11:1 student to teacher ratio it is super easy to reach out to professors to get help! There are courses that help you with your first year transition into college and also peer mentors to help you along the way. This is a great school I would recommend to anyone looking for a smaller college with great academics!
Lebanon Valley College is a great school and great graduates. Many of the graduates have what I call the LVC Edge in life and employment. I believe the school embraces creative thinking and level of personal confidence in the graduates. As a graduate in the mid 1970's I have returned to Annville to live in order to enjoy the amenities of the college. There are hundreds of different cultural, music, art and sports events within walking distance.
