Lock Haven University just upgraded their entire science department. They now have all new science labs which are state of the art. Having all new labs, classrooms, study rooms, and the professor's offices located all in the same building is extremely helpful.

It's beautiful, unadulterated, clean, and colorful. The international community is fully integrated into the school. They paid me to study abroad on three different occasions.

Charles

When I talk about my school, I brag about having the in depth relationships with the teachers. I have the ability to seek out guidance at any point from a majority of my teachers whenever i reach an obstacle. Most schools have very large classrooms where the teacher never even learns your name. At my school, I enjoy the simple fact that some of my teachers will actually give me guidance outside of the classroom.

Megan

Most of my friends attend large state schools in Michigan and New York. They often talk about their large lecture halls and how their professors just see them as a number. I am very fortunate to go to a school that has smaller class rooms where I can ask professors questions without feeling like I am just another student. At Lock Haven I am not a number I am a name. I am very proud to be able to attend a school with smaller classes. I can have more interaction in class which benefits me academically.

The professors! As with anything there are always exceptions, but for the majority the professors here are great. They care about you and really do want you to succeed. If you need help they are willing to take their time to sit down with you and work with you. Although I don't concider this a small school the professors still know all thier students by name which again shows how much they actually care.

I also brag about Lock Haven's size it is big enough for me to always meet someone i know but small enough that I always see a familiar face.

Since it's a small town school with a rather small population, it's really easy to make friends. When I converse with my hometown friends about my school, I usually talk about the social aspect of it and how easily one gets along with their peers. Everyone, including professors and faculty, are friendly and there are a lot of opportunities for students to meet new people.
