Arkansas' Lyon College; Worth a Look

Students looking for good small colleges might first look to New England or the Middle Atlantic region. But, there are two small colleges in Arkansas they might want to add to their lists.

Lyon College is one of the two. While well respected by educators and publications like "U.S. News and World Report", Lyon does not now enjoy the high profile of some of its better known peers.

Lyon manages to attract good students. The middle 50% of the most recent incoming class earned an ACT composite of between 23-29, and more than 7 of 10 ranked in the top quartile of their high school graduating classes.

Lyon, with an enrollment of approximately 500, defines the term small college. And, the combination of its limited enrollment and small classes ensures the kind of personalized educational experiences many students seek.

Although at many colleges more and more students seem to be living off campus, Lyon is distinctly residential, with the vast majority of students residing on campus.

Two characteristics which set Lyon apart from many of its peer schools is a campus-wide Honor Code and an exceptionally well developed, endowed international studies program.

Still another reason to like Lyon is it's price. When you compare Lyon's cost to that at schools with similar profiles, you're almost certain to smile.

If you're looking for a high quality small college with a capable student body and reasonable tuition, Lyon is definitely worth a look.
