Transylvania is a fantastic school! Transy combines the best features of a college; a small, inclusive campus surrounded by a thriving city full of opportunities. You'll never be short on people who will care about you and your academic and professional success.
Academically challenging. Small classes allow professors to help you when needed. No need to make an advanced appointment, professors always have time to assist students. Students care about each other and everyone is extremely nice and welcoming. Lexington is a beautiful city, architecture and history make this city very special. Fun campus and community events are always available. Transy is A+
Definitely will recommend this University.

I love Transylvania University. The classes are challenging, but it definitely pays off when you graduate. One thing I think they could work on is dining options; there aren't a ton. However, they are building a brand new campus center, so maybe this will improve. The Transy community is very unique as well. There are only about 1,200 students, so unlike larger schools, I never walk to class without seeing several of my friends. The campus is beautiful, both the academic side and the residential side (the campus is split down the middle by a road). In addition, the social aspect here is good as well. There are lots of people to talk to and it is easy to make friends.
