My advice to students searching for a college...
Think about what you love and what you enjoy, but also keep in mind the kind of environment you want to surround yourself with. Pick a college that really could feel like home to you and stay true to yourself

Why I chose Lees-McRae...
They have a really big focus on experiential and hands-on learning which is really important to me and gives me the opportunity to gain experience in my career field. I also am a recipient of the Elizabeth McRae scholarship, which solidified my decision to come here
