Lycoming College Reviews

I am an incoming freshman this fall at Lycoming College. I was beyond relieved and trilled when I was able to announce my commitment to Lyco. The whole recruiting process alone for football was stressful. Actually coming down to the decision to pick a school was tough. I thought back to my time taking a visit to Lyco; right from when I got there everyone was so nice and I felt like as if I knew everyone already. I was the only recruit on campus that day so it was just my dad and I. The coaching staff greeted me with open arms and so did the players. The players, I appreciated a lot for showing me and around campus and being personable. Everything about the campus seemed to be just what I was looking for from the surrounding area, campus, students, and athletics. I am just so grateful that God and guided me to this and opened this door for me to continue on with my goals. I feel like my upcoming time at Lyco is going to benefit in all areas as a person, student, and athlete. Thank you.

Review Lycoming College

What I like about Lycoming College is the atmosphere on the campus. There is always something to participate and experience on campus as a whole community. I like the diversity that Lyco has based the college being a PWI. There are trips and fun events to go to each month during the semester. Something I would change is the food. There are days where the food is good and days where they aren't. But that's just college food for you. The professors are welcoming and love what they teach wholeheartedly, so asking them for help by goinfg to their office hours is great. Overall, Lyco is a beautiful campus with different learning experiences for everyone.

I really have had a great experience with teaching staff at Lyco. My advisor is amazing and has gone out of her way so many times to make sure I get the classes and credits that i need and always checks in on me to see how im doing. I've had great professors who genuinely seem to care about how I'm doing and teach great classes. People complain about the cafeteria food but they don't actually make the effort to make sure the kitchen is aware of their complaints; they're incredibly receptive to the students needs and have always ensured I have food i can eat because of my food allergies while being understaffed. But, I'd say where this school truly lacks is in administration and other departments outside of academics. Housing is not great; no air conditioning, heat is always running and turns your room into a sauna, and singles are very limited. Rooms themselves aren't very welcoming. Some dorms are super outdated. The professors and most staff are what make this school worth it.
