Rating 3.48 out of 5 914 reviews
The best college you can go to for graduate studies in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Top quality education and professors who care about making you an amazing clinician, not just getting you to pass classes. Best program in the nation in my opinion and I would not want to go anywhere else. If you want a CACREP accredited program for CMHC, this is the best option you could choose and the best quality. The entire department including advising, internship coordinators, and professors is all fantastic, so all the reviews about the undergraduate studies do not apply to the graduate programs because this one is amazing.
I would like a little more clarity with the courses. Coming into Lock Haven was a little confusing as it was hard to get in touch with my advisor and even then I ended up taking some courses that were not needed and not taking some that were. I think some advisors are a little unfamiliar with their advisees and you have to be extremely diligent. Each department only know things about their department, so when advising tells a student to do this, you have to double check with registration, financial aid, ect before you even can. You can not even go with the suggestions of your advisor. I think my experience was good because my advisor has my career goals in mind but without any type of knowledge of the other departments it is costing 4x as much for me to get their and has and is taking twice as long.
I very much enjoy the scenery of LHU, I personally enjoy fishing and there are so many nearby areas within a 30-minute drive to catch anything from trout and panfish, to bass, with several areas to get bait, next to LHU is a river and a dike which holds a running path too. As far as academics, I very much enjoy how small the classes are, I truly feel there is far more opportunity for one on one with students compared to bigger colleges, I have had the opportunity to go to every single professor's office hours, and I have never felt written off by professor or made to feel unintelligent, In my personal experience, Every professor I had has been willing to work with me to learn a topic, even outside of the scheduled classroom hours. I currently serve in the military and at times have had to leave for service and every professor has worked with me in some way or another for not being present in the classroom. I truly feel the campus tries to make activities for the students here at LHU.
