It may not be huge but i love it here

As a commuter, I may be biased but Lock Haven is a good area and has plenty surrounding it. But as a commuter, the University does a great job of including EVERYONE in so many diverse ways.

i love it here so much
Overall 4.4
I am very happy at this school, but it is important to get involved. There are a lot of clubs and student events like comedians, big screen movies, etc. The dining options are pretty good, which includes starbucks and chick fil a. The scenery is top of the line with the campus right along the river and surrounded by beautiful mountains.

Love this school and great scenery around it
Overall 4.3
LHU was a great school to graduate from. The location, class sizes, and campus atmosphere was amazing. Most students who come from larger urban areas will struggle initially to the small town/campus feel, but you surely will find your niche in Lock Haven. As for the integration (I graduated pre-integration), that's a negative view in my opinion.

Beautiful location, limited food options, great professors.
Overall 4.3
It's a small school, which is perfect for someone like me who was overwhelmed by PennState. Campus is beautiful (and getting better by the year). Class sizes are small. Professors care a lot and are very knowledgeable. It's a school full of passionate, friendly, and helpful people. It's not for everyone, but I love it here and would recommend it!

Lock Haven might be a good option if they offer something you want. But with integration, seemingly everyone passes the buck with who is responsible for what. If I had to chose universities again, this would not be on my list

Can't really do anything unless you have a car.
