Making a transition from a community college to Lee’s McRae to receive my Bachelor of Elementary Education has been a smooth and stress free transition. The faculty are helpful and welcoming, and they hold both themselves and their students to high standards. They are devoted to both the academic and moral successes of their students. Although at times the semester course work can be challenging, the instructors at Lee’s McRae never fail to encourage and support their students. The encouragement and accountability of the faculty of Lee’s McRae is what makes it stand out from other colleges.
I really like the one on one interaction with my professors. The Psychology department at LMC is great! My professors really care about helping the students understand their options, and they help them understand the materials presented in class.
Lees McRae College has really become my second home. I play soccer for the women’s team and I am involved in many clubs including Student Government, Dean’s Council, Career Ambassadors, Order of the Tower, and I am an Orientation Leader. I do very well in my classes and I love the small classroom environment! I do feel as though there are some things that could be amended at the school but that is the same with any institution really. Nothing is perfect. A great school over all. I love it with all my heart!
