As an incoming Freshman my tour was amazing! The academics and student to teacher ratio were great; 12:1. They are building new dorms which look amazing! The Athletics are growing Baseball is on it's second season and Football will start next year. They are building a new baseball stadium and athletic dorms also. All-in-all my experience touring, meeting with teachers and coaches exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to start my future here at LTU! Possible is EVERYTHING!
Lawrence Tech is an interesting university. I believe it is a great university with huge potential but its been stumbling in the last year. Im an architecture student and I can comfortably say that the program is great. As a matter a fact I believe the college of architecture and design is by far the best on campus. But lately the university has adopted a football team, im not against it but im against the choices it has made by doing so. Funding for our college is drastically down meanwhile many football players are riding on huge scholarships and minimum credits. For a small technological university, I doubt this is the correct path to take. Instead, I would encourage the university to focus more on academics and broadening its credibility further than the state of Michigan. Overall I think its a very good university but the way its been conducting business lately it makes it look like a cheap and underperforming colleg.
Currently attending the school, although it has its rough edges, it is a beneficial school to be in. I am a mechanical engineering student, and the classes are geared for fast paced, strong minds. There are a ton of activities to further improve yourself and all the Teachers i have run across so far have been more than helpful. Their academics are hard to match else where, allowing one to retain the information presented in the school.
