Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....

My favorite things about Lees-McRae are the people and its location. Lees-McRae is truly my home away from home and the people here make it feel that way. The location is breathtaking, and I could never get tired of these mountains.

My advice to students searching for a college...

The goal is to find your perfect fit. I created a list of what I wanted in a college and searched for schools until I found one that checked all my boxes. The academics, class sizes, athletics, social life, and community were some of the things I paid close attention to when exploring colleges.

Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...

I have seen the most snow in my life here. I live in Charlotte NC, and just two and a half hours away in Banner Elk is where I experienced the most snow. I made my first real snow man standing a little over six feet tall, created my first snowball fight forts and had a real snowball fight, and took the most gorgeous walk through the greenway, across the street from campus. Definitely my most memorable Lees-McRae experience and something that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Why I chose Lees-McRae...

I chose Lees-McRae because it checked all my boxes. The environment is beautiful, and it feels like home. I definitely prefer a smaller campus and smaller classroom sizes. And I loved meeting the volleyball team and was eager to play here.
