I love it! I wouldn't have came to learn at this school if I did not feel that it was a 100{6f65e1278338a62264eed73e2adc5af8e2841420db12ceb4f80b8db22f3260ec} fit for me! My favorite part about this school is how "homey" it feels, I love walking past the same people everyday and learning names, I love the food, and absolutely love my classrooms and my educators!

Nadia

I enjoy Lake Erie College. It's a very small school but there is a lot to participate in on campus and many places to walk or drive to off-campus. We have a great equestrian facility and it is pretty awesome that there are majors in the area like equine facility management. We are a NCAA Division II school and our campus is mostly comprised of athletes. Every is very friendly, especially to outsiders. It does snow a whole lot since we are in the snow belt. This makes the small campus very convenient. I would say the campus is beautiful. If you want a more personal experience in the classroom and would not like to walk further than ten minutes to class, then this is the place for you.

Nina

As a school, I love it a lot. The class size is smaller and I enjoy that because there is more time for one-on-one help. I don't do much in terms of extracurricular activities but from what I can see, there is always something going on and lots of sports one can join. Most of the professors I have had are friendly and I can learn easily from them.

  11. What's unique about your campus?

    LEC is a smaller school; therefore, students enjoy smaller sized classrooms and better attention with teachers. I like that the campus reminds students of the past while it draws their attention toward building for the future. It is a pleasant mix of both nuances and layed out beautifully, like a serene park experience which can be enjoyed in all seasons. LEC has no qualms with accomodating diversity. The spirit of the school encourages acceptance and promotes individual growth in the academic, artistic, and professional domains with a strong emphasis on personal goals achievement.
