The University of Lynchburg, formerly Lynchburg College, is a private university associated with the Christian Church and located in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. It has approximately 2,800 undergraduate and graduate students. The university's campus spans 264 acres.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — the 62% graduation rate and 76% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth asking about directly. On the financial side, things look more reasonable: a $20,187 average net price and $22,500 median debt are manageable, and median earnings of $48,800 at 10 years are modest but workable for that debt load. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, personal campus experience (under 1,600 undergrads on 264 acres) and have a clear plan to stay on track — but come in with eyes open about the retention issue.
