The campus at Lenoir-Rhyne University is stunning! It is one of the smaller college campus' if you compare it to colleges like Duke, NC State or others but it is friendly, family-like, and faculty is concerned about you. The class size is small so that as a student you get to know your professor and they get to know you. You are not a number, you are a person. That makes learning much more meaningful.

I am right now a first-year recruit at Lenoir Rhyne College. As you likely know Lenoir Rhyne College is a predominately white school, and being an African American female individuals regularly would have thought I would go someplace like North Carolina Central Or Winston Salem State College, but I chosen against it fair to get myself awkward, since on the off chance that you are as well comfortable, you are not developing. By and large, Lenoir Rhyne College is exceptionally comprehensive and not judgemental. it is a charming curious school, which would be awesome on the off chance that you are a thoughtful person since it is exceptionally little. You see a few of the same faces each day and you start to memorize faces and names.
I like Lenoir-Rhyne and my professors are the best! they have so many options for majors and so many clubs that you can be a part of. The dorms could be better just need to be updated. The food could also be better but you don't go to college for the food. The academic buildings are all on the nicer side including the library. Everyone is just wanting to succeed and the advisors and staff are wanting to help.
