Review of Lee University

from Virginia

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

In general, classes are challenging but not too overwhelming. Lee offers a variety of classes so that students can study subjects that really interest them.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Lee offers activities for all sorts of students. Those who enjoy sports can play on intramural teams. Those who love music can try out for one of the many choirs and bands, even if they are not music majors. The Student Leadership Council is a great way to meet people and get involved on campus. In addition, there are numerous other clubs in which to get involved. Lee also offers many short study-abroad opportunity. The students at Lee are great! Most are very friendly and accepting, and I can feel a sense of community on campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Lee is very reasonably priced for a private college. It costs roughly $17,000 per year, and they offer automatic scholarships for freshmen with high SAT/ACT scores, in addition to other college-sponsored scholarships.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. If you apply early enough and send in a housing deposit, you can into one of the nicer dorms, even as a freshman. You can apply in the summer before your senior year. Dorm descriptions are on the website. 2. Some people feel as if there is not a lot to do on campus, but you can find plenty of activities in which to get involved. 3. Prospective students should be aware that freshmen have a curfew of midnight during the week and one a.m. one the weekend.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Lee is definitely a Christian college, and although one will find both Christians and those with other beliefs there, students with Christian values would generally enjoy Lee more than others. For example, students are required to attend chapel each week and to take several Bible classes, and Lee prohibits activities such as alcohol, drugs and premarital sex. For those with Christian values, however, most students should not find the rules particularly unreasonable. Even though Lee is affiliated with the Church of God, all denominations are welcome, and students will encounter a variety of specific beliefs. Lee is also great for students who want to attend a fairly small Christian college but to still have many opportunities during college.
