University / College Review: Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, VA

1) Landscaping and on-campus dining

I attended Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, VA from 2003 - 2005 as a transfer and commuter student. Lynchburg College (LC for short) has a beautiful campus. Sometimes, I would sit on the steps of one of the buildings and just look out over the campus.

There are a couple of places to eat on campus. If you like busy cafeteria-style eating then the dining hall is certainly for you. They have a buffet and most everyone eats in the dining hall. However, there is also Westover, where you can order fast food items and eat quietly while watching television. It's also conveniently located near the bookstore.

2) Faculty and staff

All of the teachers that I had and met at LC were very friendly. Many of the teachers encouraged the students to come to their office for help. This individual attention isn't as possible with a large school. Since the school isn't very big, though, the teachers tend to be very gossipy.

To say that the staff at LC is great doesn't begin to cover it. Any time I ever had a problem, the people in admissions, the deans, the security officers, even some of the personal secretaries were willing to go out of their way to help. It really meant a lot that everyone cared so much.

3) Ease of transferring credits and Lynchburg College's classes

Lynchburg College has a transfer agreement with the local community college. Transferring to Lynchburg College is a smooth and easy process. Everyone that I have known who transferred to there graduated in two years. This is really good because at some schools, it takes transfer students longer than a total of four years to finish a four year degree.
