I did not attend the LMU, but was caught by the historical marker out front and had to stop. It's certainly an impressive campus and the mission of the university sounds amazing. The marker has the same text on both sides. It starts with a quote and reads, "'If you come through this misery alive... I want you to do something for all those mountain people who have been shut out of the world all these years.' These words of President Abraham Lincoln to General O. O. Howard in 1863 proved to be the catalyst for the founding of LMU. Chartered on February 12, 1897, as a liberal arts university and the home of the Abraham Lincoln Museum. LMU continues its mission of providing an advanced education to people of this region." Next time I am through here, I will try to time it so that I can visit the museum.

We saw the campus as we drove past on the highway. It's a gorgeous setting for a school. We decided to stop and see if we could visit the library and museum. We only had a short time which was certainly not enough to see all the history here. They have one of the world's largest private collections of Lincoln and Civil War material anywhere in the world. We will make plans to return as soon as possible. read more

This university was founded to help give the poor people in the area, a college education at low cost. That is not the case with this university. High cost to attend, not commuter friendly at all, no real assistance to students with low knowledge of computers, and the professors are not student friendly. Job placement for students isn't as good as they say. read more

There are universities and then there is LMU. A facility with the brightest and most helpful faculty, staff, and students. Not to mention a beautiful campus to top it off! I would recommend Lincoln Memorial University to anybody! read more
