Favorite thing to do in the area...
Exploring the local wilderness and wildlife. This area has extremely unique wildlife and amazing places to explore.
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.
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.
Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...
Staying up until midnight to go hiking in the rain with Dr. Osbourn so we could collect salamanders.
