Lakeland college is awesome; there are activities, athletics, and academics. The staff of the school makes the experience that much better with their small class sizes and increased one-on-one time. I would suggest this school for anyone looking to have fun, learn, and meet great people.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A few tips for prospective students: do not let the school being in the middle of a corn field scare you away, it is better than one would think. Do not be afraid to try new activities; it is a great way to meet new people and make some friends. Don't forget to be yourself; college can be a lot like high school when it comes to personal issues and such, but don't be afraid to let your real self shine, most people like that better than you trying to fit in. Lastly, have fun; the time flies by faster than you would believe, take the time to enjoy your experiences.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The teachers are very helpful and stick to their syllabus. I have never had a problem scheduling a meeting with a professor to get help on my coursework or in the class in general. Also, the class sizes are super small, which is a huge advantage to quicker learning and more one-on-one time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Once you come out of your shell and experience life in the dorms for a while, it feels like you have an entirely new family. I did not come out of my shell right away and wish I would have, I met a lot of great people and they became very close to me. I loved living in the all girls' dorm rooms, it was a lot of fun because we could screw around and just have fun without worrying that we aren't impressing any guys, and what not.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Lakeland's food and dining center is wonderful. There is always a salad and sandwich bar for those students who do not want to eat the main course for that meal. I love the Muskie Mart, which offers grilled food as well as serving the students like a grocery store. You have Muskie Money that you get when you pay for your payment plan. It is wonderful not having to carry cash everywhere when you are on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Even though the school is in the middle of a corn field, there is plenty of things to do for entertainment nearby as well as on campus. The school has a group called LC CAB, which is a group that organizes fun and games as well as activities both on campus and off. There are bowling alleys, golf courses, movie theaters, malls, and a lot of other things nearby as well. We have gone to Brewers games, Bucks games, bowling, plays, and many more activities with the LC CAB. On campus there are also events called convocations, you will learn about these when you visit the school, but some of them are plays, musicals, comedians, writers, speeches, and many more options; they are good time fillers and believe it or not, some of them are very entertaining.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is rather expensive to attend considering it is a private school; however, the school does offer a lot of scholarship opportunities and ways to save money. I would definitely consider it a great bang for your buck.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There aren't any real unusual places or traditions on campus. Only one thing comes to mind that was fairly unusual. A couple of students decided it would be funny to bring a cow up the stairs of Old Main, which didn't have elevators at that time. The students didn't know that cows cannot climb down stairs, so they couldn't get the cow down and ended up having to kill it; they say that the cow now haunts Old Main.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I think Lakeland being the diverse school that it is, is really great for any student. It is suitable for all ages, races, and religions as well. I would recommend it to anyone!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
As I mentioned earlier, LC CAB does a great job of putting on activities and events for the students to attend. The hall directors and RAs in the dorms also do a lot to put on little events in the dorm halls.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I never experienced Greek Life, but it is an eligibility at Lakeland. I had a couple of friends who attempted to make it into sororities, but ended up quitting for certain reasons. Once one makes it past Hell Week, there is really no other stresses of being a member of the sorority.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There is always a member of the campus security team on duty. They offer safe rides across campus or to wherever you want to go on campus. There is also a taxi service that offers safe rides anywhere within the county off campus. The team members are really great and try to get to know the students. You can call at anytime and they will be there asap to help you out. There are also telephones located around campus that you can use to call them.
