I am a current student at LU, and I am very proud to say that I am a Muskie! LU provides a small campus which ensures that you get to see and be around familiar faces, which creates a family-like environment. Additionally, professors truly care about the success of their students and make themselves extremely available for additional meetings or help with course work.
The new campus center is beautiful; it is a wonderful place to study or meet with friends!
Additionally, the buildings are very close to each other, making the walks in the cold very bearable.
Go Muskies!

Lakeland is very focused on small classroom sizes and a personalized experience. Most professors are gracious and willing to work with you, and all professors take the time to learn students' names. LU is a little too focused on inclusiveness, which actually makes them look like an exclusive school. There have been some BAD rumors floating around campus about changes being made, and students are unhappy with the lack of care. The food has fallen short in the past couple years, but used to be amazing.

Administration has spectacular disregard for the students, particularly in the graduate programs. Registrar forgot that Spring break is a thing and didn't account for it in Spring 2020 semester. President resigned and they didn't tell the student body. Class requirement policies quietly changed by program director after semester started and the students were not notified directly. Accreditation which was supposed to be forthcoming two years ago has not even been applied for. The school appears to experiencing some kind of financial or retention problems. Counseling program is 1/3 the size it was a few years ago and shrinking. Madison campus closing and the classes will rent space at the local community college. School is hiring for an electronic games coach while they can't hire and retain adequate academic faculty.
