What Students Are Saying
I absolutely love LVC, the faculty and staff are always kind and helpful.
There are so many mentors and peer helpers to turn to if you are unsure of something, or even if you just want a friend to talk to.
The classes, though difficult at times, prepare you well for real world situations and set you up well for your career.

a place where the student comes first. whether you are into music, science, sports, etc., lebanon valley college is a place where you can find exactly what you are good at and what interests you the most. their main concern is the what is best for their students, not just their bottom line
Mary from Landisburg, PA
LVC is a great, small, community-oriented school to attend for a great education. The classes are challenging, but the professors and multitude of free resources available on campus to all students are there for great support in your success. With the small size, it isn't always the best option for someone who needs the fast-paced urban style of a typical college, but there's always something to do aside from your studies.
Kelsey from Lititz, PA
This is a great college with a fantastic living experience. The college is on the steeper side of price, but is honestly worth the money one would pay to come here. The school is resourceful and very helpful at finding financial aid for those students in need of it greatly.
