My advice to students searching for a college...

My advise would be to chose where you feel the most at home and comfortable.

Why I chose Lees-McRae...

I chose Lees McRae because of the immersive experience it offers in nature. I grew up on the beaches of Florida and I was looking for a completely different environment. Being here has allowed me to go out, hike, explore and see scenery that i am not accustomed to.

Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....

My favorite thing about Lees McRae is the small town community feel. I love how the town is intertwined almost with the college which allows the community to connect with student life. I love when the community hosts different events such as Wooly Worm Festival and the different art markets on Sundays. These events are always so fun to go to.

Favorite thing to do in the area...

My two favorite things to do in the area is hike and visit the boba truck in boone. This boba truck hands down has the best boba I’ve ever had. As for hiking, there are so many beautiful trails, overlooks and waterfalls. One of my favorite hikes connects to the Appalachian Trail and the sights were truly like nothing i’ve ever seen.
