Favorite thing to do in the area...
Exploring the local wilderness and wildlife. This area has extremely unique wildlife and amazing places to explore.
My advice to students searching for a college...
Look for a place you feel like you could call home. It is so important to enjoy where you live and feel comfortable in your space. Lees-McRae has made itself my home and I’m happy to be here every day.
Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....
The community here is so close and supportive. Everywhere I go people are saying hi and asking how you are. I have made so many lifelong friends at Lees-McRae and I get to see them every single day in all my classes. The professors are able to help you individually due to such small class sizes and they are able to teach on a more personal level.
Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...
Staying up until midnight to go hiking in the rain with Dr. Osbourn so we could collect salamanders.
