The professors at Lenoir-Rhyne University seem to genuinely care about your education and career goals. In addition to this, the campus is fairly small , so the professors will know you individually and even reach out if you seem to be struggling. Office hours are great and professors are willing to accommodate times for you. In addition to all of this, the school is big on sports and sporting events , there's always a good time at LR. Go bears!
Going to college for my first degree was one of the most memorable and fulfilling times of my entire life, my favorite part of this institution was the student community. I met many people who will have a profound positive affect on me for my entire life. What hurt my experience, however, was the administration. Athletics (mainly football) receives millions of dollars to upgrade their facilities, while the Rhyme building (main academic building where everyone has at least one class) continues to look dilapidated and unkempt on the inside. I didn't notice the water damage and mold in the ceilings as will as paint chippings in classrooms until I was actually attending this institution. The lack of care for academic buildings is depressing and unacceptable.
My daughter met many great people there and made some life long friends. That is the best thing I have to say about them. Since her first semester and each one after, her schedule, prereqs, course load, graduation track, etc. has been messed up. We got responses from advisors like "my bad". One advisor told her she was NOT going to get into grad school with her 3.0 GPA and she shouldn't bother trying to get into a class. I spoke to several administrative people who noted there was a problem and they were working on it but they would not have things straightened up in time to help my daughter's situation. She was a 3 sport athlete and employee in the library there, yet she was still "not good enough" for them to actually put effort in for I suppose.
Guess What?! She got into grad school at Lenior-Rhyne. Where the debauchery continued. After completing this year, she will be attending another University where they actually do care about the students.
