My favorite thing about Lees-McRae is the people. I have met some of my best friends while being here at school and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We also have some of the sweetest and nicest professors here and they get to know you on a personal basis. One thing I remember specifically about my Chemistry professor my sophomore year was that he took a group of us to look for constellations off of the parkway and it was so amazing and such a good bonding moment with my friends!
My most memorable Lees-McRae experience was hiking to the top of sugar mountain during preseason my sophomore year. It was such a huge bonding experience with my team and we did it first thing in the morning so the morning sun was beautiful!
My advice for students searching for a college is to not have tunnel vision about a specific school. Going in with an open mind is crucial when going to explore schools because you never know what you may find out about a school that you love!
I chose Lees-McRae first for the soccer team but also for the area. The mountains are beautiful and have really opened my mind to the nature and possibilities that the mountains contain.
