“What I enjoyed the most about Lynchburg is the closeness of the students with their professors. Since the classes are so small, it requires more participation between the students and the faculty. This unique quality that Lynchburg has, one cannot find in big universities. I can relate and have more intimate conversations with my professors, which allows me to learn better.”
