Lawrence is a small, liberal arts university in Appleton, WI. It is a residential campus, so there is a large sense of community. Everyone is unique, and Lawrence is very accepting of that.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Lawrence is a difficult school. Much work is expected of students to do outside of class, and many classes require a least a couple hours of work daily in order to do well in the class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Some dorms are typical dorms with community bathrooms that are primarily for freshmen and sophomores. Other dorms such as Hiett and the Execs are nicer dorms with your own bathroom that are for upper class-men. Overall, I don't think any dorms are bad to live in.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Our food is actually really good compared to other schools. Sure, it can get old after eating it every day for a couple years, but there are plenty of options to choose from so you aren't forced to eat the same thing day after day. All of our food is from Bon Appetit which is a catering company and they do a great job to provide good quality for the students as well as keeping options open especially for vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free eaters.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is almost always something to do on the weekends. There are parties frequently as well as other big events especially in the spring like LUaroo, Relay for Life, and Ormsby Zoo Days.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Lawrence is expensive, but it's totally worth it. It's a great school, and professors really make an effort to make you get the most out of your experience and education here. Also, financial aid is very possible to get and if you feel like you need a little more help to afford it, just talk to admissions/financial aid office because they are usually able to help out and make it work.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Senior streak is probably the most unusual tradition that I can think of at Lawrence. Every year, towards the end of Spring term, the seniors have an event at the VR and then it's followed by the senior streak where they all take off their clothes and run around campus while other non-senior students gather around to watch.
