In Their Words
When I visited LVC, right away my experience felt very different from any other college tour I had been on. I was expecting a tour similar to the tours I had been on before where you get lumped into a large crowd of students to briefly view the campus and its professors. Instead, my tour of LVC was incredibly personal, and for the first time, it made me feel like a college was genuinely interested in what I could offer as a student.

My time at LVC was shorter than most, as I was a transfer student, but that did not change the impact that the stellar staff had on my academics, career, and life.

I transferred to LVC from Lehigh Carbon Community College after earning my associate’s in communications. Only an hour away from home and hosting a student body smaller than my high school, I easily said “yes” to the quaint charm of LVC’s campus. In just two years of attending LVC, I have felt so connected to my professors, advisors, peers, and the rest of campus staff.
