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 to do in the area...
Exploring the local wilderness and wildlife. This area has extremely unique wildlife and amazing places to explore.
Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...
Staying up until midnight to go hiking in the rain with Dr. Osbourn so we could collect salamanders.
Why I chose Lees-McRae...
I chose Lees-McRae for the May Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The hands-on experience you get in the center is absolutely irreplaceable. It is such a privilege to work directly with wildlife every single day and puts me leagues ahead on my vet-school applications which is a huge bonus.
