It was my first time experiencing college life last year, and I wasn't sure how I was going to fit in. Meeting new people was not my strong suit, but immediately I felt welcomed. It's so much diversity here, but everyone is treated like family. The professors and students really want to see you succeed. Their is never a moment of being on campus thats dull, or boring because theres always something going on. Rather it be Greek Week or a Stress release event. And although the cafeteria food can use some work, they make up for it by having an Einsteins Bagel shop right across from it. I love LTU and I highly recommend anyone to enroll here.
Review Lawrence Technological University
The school started out as an academic-focused technical school with few sports. They are now increasing the number of sports offered to attract more students to the programs, despite the minimal space for the required fields. This shift of focus is not something every student supports. Many of us choose Lawrence Tech for its minaimal distraction atmosphere and we know with more sports there will be more unnessary distractions present.
Campus crime is horrible! My first year in the dorms, there was a giant break in and everything was stolen my my dorm (not to mention dozens of others). Police did absolutely nothing and housing basically said it was my fault ugh. Watch out for those catalytic converter thieves that hit all the parking lots. Campus security is a total joke. I mean there are articles about the main guy Driving drunk and arresting a nonstudent, it's ridiculus. There is no health clinic like other colleges which is stupid, but at least Beaumont hospital is close by.
