Currently a junior and starting to scope out colleges. I stumbled upon Lawrence University and it seems interesting. What are the main academic or extracurricular highlights that draw students to Lawrence? Any information would be great to help me understand if it's a good fit for me.
Hi there! It's so exciting that you're exploring your college options. Looking into the distinctive features of a college can really help in making a decision. Lawrence University has some compelling draws. For starters, it's known for its strong music conservatory if you're inclined towards the arts.
Academically, it has a unique Freshman Studies program which is a great way to get a broad base of knowledge and develop a tight-knit community with fellow first-years. Another aspect that stood out for us was the school's commitment to individualized learning—it operates on a trimester system which allows for more depth in each subject.
Extracurricularly, the school's location in Appleton is great because it offers a quintessential college town experience with plenty of local events, which also reflects in the on-campus community. Lawrence's DIII athletics are a plus if you're looking to balance sports and studies without the overwhelming pressure of DI athletics. Hope this helps, and all the best with your college search!
