Alice Lloyd College

I am a second semester student at Alice Lloyd College and I am already classified as a sophomore. I am doubling in English and Social Science.

When I began college I was only a Social Science major, but after taking an English class as an elective, I fell in love with the English program as well. The professors in the English program are strict and determined to make sure their students understand their lessons while making their classes enjoyable and fun at the same time. They are very understanding and approachable people.

The Social Science department share many of the same qualities of the English professors. They make their classes fun and relate the topic we are discussing to our every day lives. As a student, there is nothing better than relating to what you are learning about in class.

As for the campus, it is always clean, safe, and of course beautiful. People refer to ALC as being "in the middle of nowhere", but I find being far from other communities as a benefit. It ensures our safety from the life of the big city and we are enclosed in the gorgeous mountains of the great Appalachia. There is nothing better than waking up to a sunset above the mountains in the morning.

There are many sports and clubs to become envolved in and great places to hang out on campus, such as the student lounge. The students and faculty are alike are very generous and friendly. I have yet to meet a person that hasn't warmingly welcomed me into their life.

Another benefit of attending Alice Lloyd College is the work study program. It provides me with a great work history, human capital, and an even better experience. The work study program has taught me how to be a responsible, reliable, and professional worker. Professional dress Tuesday also helps because it prepares you for the real work world that I will one day become a part of. I know that when I enter the work world I will be fully prepared. I absolutely recommend Alice Lloyd College to anyone wanting to pursue a great college education and wanting an amazing and memorable college experience.

Alice Lloyd college is an affordable college that provides a quality education. I have been told by students who have transferred from highly respected universities in the state, that Alice Lloyd College is more difficult and challenging in course work, but due to the small class sizes, it is more personal and one-on-one. The professors are very understanding and will work with the students, and personal tutoring is available upon request. Since nearly all the professors live on campus, it is easy to contact someone at any point in the night. As far as safety goes, students can rest easy at night knowing they are in a wonderful community. I have been a student for 2 years at Alice Lloyd and intend to get a degree and go on to graduate school as well. Thanks to the ALC family, I am able to go to school and work at the same time. I do not have to worry about getting a second job while in college like many students at other colleges do. Through the work study program, I am able to pay for my entire college career without ever having to leave campus! The only complaint I could possibly have is that there is little to do, due to the small size of the surrounding area. However, the extra comfort of knowing by name almost every student in the college makes up for it. If you want to feel at home away from home and make some excellent friends, have a fun time, while getting a better education, Alice Lloyd College may just be the place for you, too!
