I loved my time here at the school, however it would be nice to go somewhere a little bit bigger. Nevertheless, I certainly enjoyed my time at LC and I'm proud to say I'm a Lynchburg Hornet.

I would strongly advise that potential LC students take a close look before coming here. I will not pretend that my experience here was entirely awful, I'v had some good times and met a lot of friends I plan to keep in touch with. But with that being said, I don't intend to return next year. For me, the college decision process was probably a little different than for most as I was a recruited athlete. Unfortunately, I made my decision primarily based on athletics rather than the whole package. What I expected in my college experience was a school with a big athletics program, good academics that challenged me to grow and adapt, a vibrant social scene, and a tight campus community. The athletics at LC are great, almost all of the fall sports made it to the NCAA's. But I think that D3 sports aren't taken as seriously, I was looking for a bigger atmosphere. The academics are decent, I found it easier that my high school though. The teachers are, in most cases, readily available if you need help. Being a small school, the professors seemed to prioritize their students over their research. The social life was somewhat sub par. The campus itself does not lend itself to going downtown, but even if it did I'm not sure that there would be bars or clubs to go to. Instead, the social life revolves around one or two sports teams(guys lacrosse, and girls soccer). They have the only parties that are really worth going to. The campus has a good community feel but lacks an area for students to meet, or any real activities or events. There is no student union to speak of, and the SAD(student advisory board) is more of a social club that a planning committee.

Overall, I would not advise against going here. But I would strongly encourage prospective students to do their research and really get a good feel for the school and how they would fit in.

This school sucks. My freshmen year there were a decent amount of parties, but the school is currently in a dry spell and unless you feel like seeing the same exact people ever single weekend for 4 (or in the case of Lynchburg students, 5 or 6) years DON'T GO. It's too expensive for a school that doesn't hold any prestige to employers or graduate schools. They have ridiculous drug policies, you can't even have a hookah on campus. Don't waste your time.

If you are planning on going to LC for the nursing program run for the hills now. The staff does not care about the students only certain ones like the smart ones. They will change policies during your time there. All they care about is money and the NCLEX rates. They will kick you out of the program if your not smart enough instead of trying to actually trying to teach. From a student who has taken 7 semesters at LC the nursing program is by far the worse program they have. Miscommunication and professionalism are the two biggest problems in their program.
