University of Lynchburg Top #8
-
We have a chef who makes food fun.
Our dining hall has great food. Meals are fresh and prepared on-site. Every meal is unique, but our theme meals like Crabfest and the Hogwarts Lunch take it up a notch. Plus, don't worry about running out of meals on your plan. Ours is unlimited, so come and go as you want.
-
Get on a first-name basis with faculty doggos
Your professors bring their canine best friends to campus to chill with students on the Dell once or twice a year. Doggies in the Dell is just one of many Lynchburg traditions that bring us all together.
-
LYH – music, shows, food trucks, and festivals
Lynchburg, Virginia, is a city on the move. Small enough to really get to know, but big enough to always offer something new. It’s got a great downtown, nature trails that connect our campus to the riverfront, and an up-and-coming music scene with nearby festivals like Lockn and Lynchstock.

Kayak the Everglades for cheaper than Chipotle. Seriously.
Get outside and try something you never thought you could, without draining your wallet. The Outdoor Leadership Program will take you and your friends caving, skiing, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, hiking, and even horseback riding. How about a spring break canoe trip to the Everglades for $15?
-
You’ll know your professors.
Our professors take your education, your dreams, your ideas, seriously. They’re passionate about helping you discover something new. Classes are small, so they'll know your name and will help you meet the toughest challenge.
-
Your education starts on day one.
If it’s on campus, it’s yours. A TV studio, science research labs, a stock trading room (plus money to invest), a nursing simulation lab, an observatory, and a cadaver lab for anatomy classes — all of this is for our undergraduate students.
You'll get the hands-on experience you need to enter your career, prepared. -
You want to play? We want you to play.
We’re pretty serious about sports. We believe excellence on the field supports excellence in class. We offer 24 intercollegiate teams, 17 club teams, and 20 intramurals. All told, more than half of our students participate in athletics. Whether you want to play or become the number one Hornets fan, there’s a place for you here.

We’re Friends. We’re Family. We’re Lynchburg.
Lynchburg is a place where people hold the door for you, but it's more than that.
We’re a place where you can become more of who you want to be, and have friends cheering you on every step of the way.
We’re Lynchburg.
