I would rate Lawrence University at 3.5. They provide vast academic opportunity, suitable living, and decent food. The worst part of college is the student body.
As far as academics go, class sizes are generally small, so students get to know teachers well. Teachers are invested and care about students.
Housing is decent as far as colleges go.
The students do a lot of complaining about the food, but Bon Appetit is one of the best food service companies to cater to colleges and businesses across the Us. They strive to create an all inclusive menu for students.
The student body is where most issues with the university come up. I find the student body can be overbearingly rude due to their privileged backgrounds. At times the students are incompetent and act inconsiderately ann offensive. Lawrence has a very toxic environment because of the students. The only other problems I have with the university are diversity&inclusion as well the lack of attention to student medical problems.

For someone who wants a small college experience, Lawrence University is great! There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in leadership, research, and other educational and extracurricular activities. Even though it's in a small town, there are a lot of opportunities to see incredible speakers and artists! A lot of people also develop personal relationships with staff and faculty, who can be very helpful and supportive!
Real graduating film student here. While Lawrence's film program may still be young, it already has so much to offer. I came in thinking I was only going to care about production, but ended up loving the history and study of film just as much, as the professors here do a great job teaching you all the angles of a film. More than that, I have studied important films I feel like no other school would've given the time of day.
I am also a computer science double major and my professor has been extremely supportive of both of my areas of interest. She came to watch my capstone presentation when she didn't need to and remarked to me what a great job she thought I did. Even the fact that she came to watch me meant a lot, and her comments about my presentation made my whole week. What this school lacks in size it more than makes up for in heart, as I have built great relationships with almost all my professors and feel that they truly want to see me succeed in whatever I choose to do.
