In Their Words

Supportive

Transferring to LVC has been such a meaningful step for me. From the beginning, I was looking for a place where I could feel supported both academically and personally—and LVC has truly delivered on that. The sense of community here has helped me grow in ways I never expected.

Welcome And Wanted

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.

Quaint Campus Charm

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 felt so connected to my professors, advisors, peers, and the rest of campus staff.
