Alexander - 04/11/2024

I have been very happy with my time as a student at Lincoln Memorial. I have been very pleased with the pre-veterinary program. I have enjoy the classes and the challenge they have provided me. Campus is beautiful and I feel very safe on campus. I have also enjoyed the extracurricular activities.

Faith - 01/19/2020

Lincoln Memorial University is a small school on 1,000 acres. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking with views of mountains everywhere you look. The professors are always available to help you and give you one-on-one attention. This is a huge contributor to a student's success. The medical programs are amazing including the professors and facilities. The business programs are a little weaker, but still not the worst school out there. LMU could improve a little more on the variety of degrees they offer.

Felicia - 05/24/2019

This is my number one choice school and I’m very pleased with my choice so far! They really care about the students. They go out of their way to ensure everyone has what they need to succeed. A quote from one of the office ladies is, “we take care of our own” and I can truly feel that.

Savannah - 04/03/2019

LMU is a great school to got to. Their Science and Math Department is top notch. The professors are great to work with even in your higher level classes. Registration process is always easy. Campus security works tirelessly to ensure a safe campus. The area is beautiful and provides students great opportunities to stay active.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that I should not be scared. I have a birth defect that has kept me from chasing dreams so many times. I would tell myself that this should never, under any circumstances, keep me from my dreams. I would make sure I knew that even though I accomplished great things and had beautiful children, education should not be put on hold. The world waits for no one, and it is time to shine. I would say that abuse should never be tolerated, and I deserve so much more from life than bruises and shame. I deserve to go to college and succeed. I will be a nurse one day and save lives, and good will come from the abuse because I will help others that are experiencing it. Nothing feels better than being proud of yourself.

    I am currently enrolled in the nursing program and what I consider to be the best about LMU is that it is a smaller school then most. The professor are nicer. They makes time to help each and every one of the students if they seek help or if they see that they aren’t being successful they try and make you become successful. They would go out of there way trying to find and extra study tool of strategies to help you become successful. The staff is very concerned about there students and want them to be a success.

  10. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    I like Lincoln Memorial University because the school and campus is fairly small. The professors are truely concerned with making sure their students learn the information and they are very open with each student. The classes are small so the professor is able to get to know each student easier than bigger schools. Because the school is small, I know or have heard of most of the students that attend the university. I can make friends easier.

  11. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The rules when it comes to housing, the fact that there is a zero tollerance for alchol, although i do not drink it seems controlling, also the fact that that overnight guests are not allowed period. The food is also terrible, the first weeks of the semetser they attempt to have decent meals while as the semester goes on it begins to get very stagnent, and plain. These two things are tied equally for the worst things about my campus.
