Lycoming College — Local services in Williamsport

I am a local here in williamsport, I have a loving, sweet, well mannered dog. I walk my dog daily in the sun, rain, snow. This past winter the snow piled up good and I took my dog to the field at Lycoming, and my dog loved her time spent, as did I. Today May 5, 2018 at 2:30 pm, I was walking my dog up by the big pine tree, and I was walking down the hill to initially leave the campus, the security guard, bombarded me and my dog, and my friend, yelling that I ignored him and the my rottweiler , (that i don't have) is not welcome on the campus. I tried explaining that i did not hear him yell across the entire center field. As we are willing and exiting the campus, the security guard threatened to call the police and tried to take a picture of me. As I trying to say I am leaving he harassed me and threatened a willing person to obey a rule that i did not know. There was no politeness or respect at any given time. His prejudice person opinion against my dog, and not knowing the proper bread is extremely unacceptable. My dog through this entire heated conflict, remained calm, non aggressive, and close to me. This security guard has a hot temper and bias feelings on certain topics, which he is entitled to, but not to react in such a manner that is disrespectful and negatively aggressive. I will not return to the campus and I apologize for unknowing I am not welcome because I am not a student at Lycoming. This is unacceptable and could totally be avoided. And taking pictures of me is not...

Being a recent graduate, I can speak for the experience of the school.

On the academic side, amazing. The professors are easy to work with and are an open book for the most part. Even in a class that you don’t major in, still a good experience of learning. Honestly the faculty is the reason why I didn’t give this place a one star rating.

As for student life, it is the completely different. The administrators hired there are either completely incompetent, or close to brain dead in my opinion. You could more than 2/3 of the administrators there and life would be much better.

Res life is a joke. Charging me close $30k to stay in a 10x14 closet with another person, and serving food that is borderline inedible. There are no events worth going to, even in pre-Covid time. Wanna have a social event? Tough because the last thing reslife wants students to do is enjoy themselves.

Greek life was worse. When I first joined it was amazing and everyone got along for the most part. Then they hire an administrator, who has never been in Greek life, to run the show. The entire community takes a nose dive because of it.

The administrators will do everything they can to strip students of experiencing the college life, and do everything they can to fine you or make you pay extra fees for just existing.

For commuters, great school to go to. But people who have to stay on campus, better off finding...

The educational faculty is amazing, but reslife and administration seem to have major downfalls.

Room and board costs more than living on your own in Williamsport, which makes no sense. You could rent and buy food in town for a whole year at the same cost this college charges you for two semesters. The food is horrible and not available 24/7, forcing students to spend even more money eating off campus.

The heads of reslife and Greek Life do not seem to care about their duties at all. Especially as Greek Life suffers from Covid related restrictions. Living quarters are subpar with many restrictions and surprise monitoring. They can and will enter your room whenever they like.

This is a better college to attend if you can live off campus. Otherwise you’ll continually be monitored and babied. Not the place to grow as...
