Academics

This curriculum is challenging, but you can do it with a little effort, i promise.

The school is pretty prestigious when it comes to academics, so it's best to keep your grades in check.

As aforementioned, it is top notch; they are especially good at helping you build a major that fits your needs. While the classes may be difficult, the teachers are willing to work with you to make sure you understand, even if it means taking time out of their personal schedule. As long as you work hard, each class you take will make you a better student.

Lyon College offers a prestigious and challenging academic setting. Lyon does challenge you in many ways, but you are not alone when it comes to studies. While larger universities tend to have little student to professor contact, Lyon's professors are always willing to help the students with anything they are struggling with. As a student that wants to learn as much as possible, this was one of the top reasons I chose Lyon.

Your professors will love you if you attend the office hours, but they'll hate if you show up unprepared. Never say "I don't get X" instead show up and say "I've worked through the problem sets, here are the questions I've had trouble with, and here's what I understand about the concepts in those questions"

Go to the SI sessions, whether you think you need it or not.

Do not ignore studying for the first few weeks or you will get in a rut you can't get out of. Don't spend your B's/C's freshman year.

The academics here are not easy, but you will definitely leave the college with a diverse and knowledgeable background. The teachers demand a lot from their students but that is because they know the student that attend the college are all among the top students in the nation. Most all of the students that attend the college were ranked within the top 10% of their graduating class.
