Good reviews
Overall 4.5
Lyon has some great areas that have been improved. The living areas are pretty okay but it depends on where you live. Some of the student life people do not care about the students and have a personal vendetta but most of the professors are great. This is not a student-led campus anymore and that has had a major negative impact.

School puts Academic's first, Athletes suffer academically and usually doesn't stay after first year. Do not go here to play sports.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.5
Cafeteria food is subpar. Not many attractive girls. WiFi is terrible. If you dont get in the new dorms, you live in a box. Not every class is offered every semester.
Overall 1.7
Some of the professors are pretty cool. The city is terrible and way too small. It's not a bad school education wise but credits don't transfer and it's too small, everyone knows everyone's business and if you don't like the school you're pretty much stuck here. The majority of the dorms are old and dirty. The community is very conservative.
Overall 1.8
This school sucks the motivation and happiness from you more and more each semester. The biology program rocks, yet, the program has lost its better professors. The administration does not care about its students, however, the faculty does. It is grossly overpriced as well.
