Why I chose Lees-McRae...

I chose Lees-McRae because I loved how I was able to get that hands on experience with the animals as quickly as possible. Anywhere else I would have had to wait till graduate school. I also love that the campus is small. The professors know my name and my hobbies, I’m not just a number in a classroom.

Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....

There are so many things to do on this campus. So many fun activities that are being thrown by the student affairs or resident assistants. I am never bored!

Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...

My freshman year, I walked into a theater production on campus, I walked out and there was so much snow on the group. I remember everyone running inside to get their coats and gloves. People ended up getting blowup mattresses to slide the hill on. It was a lot of fun!

My advice to students searching for a college...

Pick the place you feel is right. Go tour multiple campuses and get a feel of what it would be like. Ask yourself, do you want to wake up to this sight every morning? Do I want to walk on this campus? I believe visiting colleges is extremely important and can really impact which school is the right fit for you.
