Reviews
"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 somewhere else."
"It is a beautiful College. We moved my youngest grandson up there. God's beauty shows all around it. It is high in the mountains. The worst thing I saw was his dorm room is on 4th floor, with no elevators. Moving his stuff was exhausting."
"Great college! President Trachte is a great leader. The school had/has made many changes to keep students on campus with in-person learning. I am very happy with our decision to send my son there."
"I visit this campus to pick up someone who goes here and LEAVE. The parking for visitors? rough. Public Safety themselves? Even worse. Now the professors may be good from what I have been told, it is a shame to have everything else be so mediocre. A lot of people leave campus every weekend even though you are plopped in a city, so things don't add up at all. Just not quality overall."
"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 permissible!"
