Lees-McRae is an amazing place to go to school. Because it is a small school its easy to find people who are into the same things as you, and creating opportunities for yourself and others to try new things is always encouraged. I really enjoy school here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Its a small school! Be yourself, its a surprisingly accepting community here.
2) Get used to the idea of snow, and cold. One of the hardest things to adjust to is the weather! It is an incredible place to live at all times of the year, but you have to love snow!
3) Get involved. Its easy to be a face in the crowd, but here at Lees-McRae being involved in something is a great way to destress over school.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Its all about how you learn, and how much you apply yourself. Faculty here are all about helping you succeed, so reach out if you're having problems.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There is always something going on, and for the most part its a great place to live. The dorms are always interesting, you meet a lot of new and interesting people!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is okay most of the time, but it isn't anything like mom's cooking!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are tons of different clubs and sports to be a part of here at Lees-McRae, from the BobScats, to the Soccer Team, to the Cycling Team, and backpacking club. There is always a new thing to try and do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition here is broadcasted as being a lot more than it actually is. Getting financial aid and scholarships is incredibly easy, and all in all you'd be surprised to learn you actually pay less than a third of what the tuition is. And with all the things you can do on and around campus, its hard to say it isn't worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Soccer Team Dance Off; Its pretty funny.
Cycling Team Grand Prix; They ride around in costume several times a year, in snow, mud, rain, or otherwise crazed conditions. Its a lot of fun.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are outdoorsy will have the best time here, but thats not to say there aren't indoorsy type things to do either!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are dozens of clubs and sports to partake in, I highly recommend doing so!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is located at 4000ft, in the middle of the mountains. I haven't heard of one thing safety related that would cause concern for me yet.
