Why I chose Lees-McRae...

I chose Lees-McRae because of the near-instant feeling of home. Everyone is so nice, and it's a homey community.

Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....

My favorite thing about Lees-McRae is all of the people I have met during my time here. Everyone here is amazing, from the faculty, to the staff, to all of the students I've met so far. I chose Lees-McRae because it felt like home, I have stayed because of the people who make it that way.

Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...

My most memorable Lees-McRae experience has to be exploring the Elk Valley Field Preserve with my friends. Even as a Business major, it's really nice to get out into nature and look for salamanders, explore the trails, and go hiking, especially when you can watch your friends climb (and fall out of) trees!

Favorite thing to do in the area...

My favorite thing to do in the area is to go hiking and exploring. I usually prefer going out with friends, but there's something special about a solo adventure that leaves you feeling satisfied. There's a lot of hiking trails of various difficulties within walking distance or a short drive from campus, making it a really easily accessible adventure for a weekend afternoon!
