From what I've seen so far, they really seem to care about the students. They offer a vast amount of guidance to help you transition. I am pretty impressed and excited about attending in the fall.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't make the mistakes I did...work hard in high school, keep your grades up and find out what requirements are needed for the ACT and SAT in terms of scores. I didn't get my act together until junior year and I had a lot of catching up to do. Start early because you'll see a lot more benefits at Lawrence
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are going to be small but very challenging. I was able to sit and talk with a few of my future professors and what I really liked about them is they seemed to care. I understand it will be a transition from high school to college but attending a smaller school is going to make it easier.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms aren't really dorm rooms, more like apartments. It'll be the most people I've ever lived with but it seems the staff has done all it can to bring the freshman comfortably into the fold by establishing a freshman dorm. Security seems really good.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We had orientation and registration and were allowed to sample the food...I am going to be very happy there. It was awesome! The meal plans are set up in a way that you can choose the meals you'd like to partake.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It seems like it's going to be a pretty live campus for such a small one. Lawrence works to build a community and that's not something I've seen at other campuses I've visited. There are things to do also as Lawrence is located near a lot of outside activities.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
If you get in trouble at a private college, they do try and work with you which can save a person from getting something on their record. That is something they stressed at orientation and I talked with a student who was very grateful he was at a private college that worked with him. In his words, it was beyond valuable and changed his life.
