Madison - 09/23/2024

Lebanon Valley College inspires people who don’t want to do anything to do something. I know this because I was one of those people. I never joined any clubs or went to any after school events, but now I am excited to attend different activities that the campus offers. There is something for everyone, and if there isn’t then you can actually go to the Student Engagement center and request a club or activity. The staff is incredibly supportive and always there to help you with anything you need.

Ryan - 04/22/2024

Lebanon Valley College provides a very welcoming environment for all of its students. From the time I stepped on campus, I was met with individuals that showed they cared about me and wanted to ensure I got the most out of my college experience. Each course provides valuable and relevant information on the topic, covered by a professor that genuinely cares about their students' success. While there is not many extracurriculars on campus, new clubs can easily be started by a group of friends. I would highly recommend Lebanon Valley College to anyone looking for a small campus that prepares them for successful career.

Daira - 05/12/2023

When I was in high school, I had heard very good things about LVC and I was interested in visiting the college. Once I did, I felt comfortable on campus and as a commuter, I feel very welcome. The classes I have had so far have taught me things that I could apply in my own life.

lingle - 12/03/2022

I enjoy the interaction with other students and professors. It is an atmosphere where everyone wants you to succeed and are there to help in any way they can. The campus is gorgeous, and the college goes out of its way to keep their students safe. The campus is in a quaint Central Pennsylvania town with great restaurants and friendly people

    Students who prefer a city environment. Annville is a small, quiet town. The classes are small, the campus is small enough to walk across in ten minutes, max. If students are looking for huge football games in the fall, large classes, and a loud campus, LVC is not the place. yes, there are of course still college parties, and people like to have fun, but compared to the big state schools, LVC is small and quiet.

    The Physical Therapy program here is awesome, the food is better than most other schools I visited, and I love the small campus feel. Everybody is like family, especially in my dorm. At LVC, they also have numerous activities on weekends that are usually free and a fun time for everybody to get together and relax!

  14. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    As cliche as it may sound, Lebanon Valley College is like a family. The students create bonds with others and connect in many ways. LVC is big with music, sports, and clubs, and just like other schools, there are the jocks, the musicians, the smarty-pants, and the preps, but with our close-knit campus, everyone seems to act like one big family who accepts one another. :)

  15. What are the academics like at your school?

    LVC is an awesome college academically. Every class that I've been in has averaged about twenty students, and all of my professors know my name. It's nice to go to class and be engaged in the lesson rather than sitting in a lecture hall trying to pay attention. As a music recording major, I spend time with my piano professor outside of my general classes, which is a nice way to get to know teachers better than just in the classroom. I've also found that I'm learning knowledge that will be practical/useful in the real world when it's time to job search.

  16. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    I love LVC! The best part by far is how I can walk anywhere on campus and know that I will recognize almost every face I see. When I tell people I go to Lebanon Valley, it is usually held in high regard because LVC is known for academics. My favorite place to hang out while at school is in the quad playing frisbee or catch with friends.

  17. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    As a music recording major, I'm in the Audio Engineering Society which has definitely given me alot of hands on activities in the studios. Athletic events, especially volleyball and basketball are really popular for students to attend. My favorite tradition about LVC is the football game against Albright. If Lebanon Valley wins, all the students march to Kreiderheim (the presidents house) to petition for no class the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
