Lock Haven University is a great place to get an education, expand your mind, broaden your horizons, and launch a successful career.

Lock Haven University sits on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and looks over the Bald Eagle Mountains in Central Pennsylvania. The area is rich with outdoor recreational opportunities yet major metropolitan areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington, DC are only a few hours away.

Best Answer

No it's not a big party school. It's a moderate size school in the middle of PA. Its up to you whether or not you're determined to get an education. If you hang around focus minded people you'll be okay, if you hang around people who smoke and drink and skip classes then most of those people won't finish school. As far as races you should be able to find that out on the schools website. The good thing is that it's only about an hour drive to Penn State main campus, so if you want to go to another school to party there's no better place than State College.
