I am currently a graduate student at Lenoir-Rhyne University, the Columbia South Carolina Campus. I am in the Masters of Divinity Program, which is offered through Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. As a student I have been exposed to great professors and great course material. The professors are real world people who offer information that is challenging and inspiring. The school also offers a variety of other masters degrees, such as Clinical Counseling and Physician Assistance. Their degree... Read More programs fully equip students to be successful in their chosen field. The course work is rigorous and they offer many opportunities to interact with fellow students and the community. The school offers classes predominantly on campus during the day. This can make it difficult for students that work full-time jobs. However, the school does offer some solutions such as partnering with other schools that offer online classes. Tuition in competitive and they have several options for financial aid and assist you with obtaining much of the necessary resource to complete your education. They are also very helpful in connecting students with internships as apart of their degree programs. The campus is small and sits close to downtown Columbia. The campus is fairly safe; they have several security officers keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. They also have several housing options, from apartments to townhomes. The campus is fairly quiet, as most students are in their late 20s to early 40s and have families. Overall, the students are very friendly and inviting. I would highly recommend Lenoir-Rhyne to any student interested in the programs that they offer.

For those who are seeking to a higher learning institution I would highly recommend attending Lenoir Rhyne University. As alumni I would have to say that University offers a wide variety of from extracurricular activities from sports, intramural sports, academic club and groups. Lenoir Rhyne is able cater to everyone specific needs. Since the university is smaller, it allows for one on one academic relationships for those who need it and do not. I would have to say its a great feeling walking into... Read More class knowing that your professors knows you name and can personally help you before and or after class. That is something you typically would not get when attending a large, four year, public university. The degree I decided on was a Bachelors of Science in Community Health. Community Health is a very board degree, but with the help of my adviser and professors I was able to find a area in the health field that best fit me. I am thankful for opportunities and experiences I was able to gain from Lenoir Rhyne and would hope that if you are able to check out the campus, or begin your academic career there, that you gain everything I received and more.

I have only been enrolled in my graduate program for almost 2 months but I love my future profession! The tests are difficult and we teach ourselves most of the material however, in the field of Occupational Therapy we will be teaching ourselves new practices so its great to learn to teach ourselves now. Hickory is a small suburban yet rural town, but has a little bit of a social scene. The graduate program was relatively inexpensive for such a growing and competitive field. The financial aid was... Read More not helpful. Overall I feel I will be prepared for my future as an Occupational Therapist.
