Jordan - 01/25/2021

Lake Erie College is an incredibly small college but has a great educational system. I would say that their teaching program is excellent and I would recommend if you are going into the field of teaching, Lake Erie College should definitely be a college for one to consider.

Mariah - 02/28/2020

I am a freshman at Lake Erie College and I think the small class sizes are great because I can go one-on-one with the professor if I need to. Most of the faculty are more than willing to help their students. However, I would warn students that want to go into a Biology or Chemistry major that they willing struggle in General Chemistry I with Dr. West. Additionally, getting a passing grade of a C- in his class is like getting an A at any other surrounding school. Besides the science program, I enjoy participating in athletics. The majority of our sports are average, other than our elite boys soccer and wrestling program, and then our terrible football team. In terms of safety I always feel safe on campus; however, as soon as I am off campus I am more cautious of the Painesville area. Overall, Lake Erie College is a great school to attend if you are looking for a smaller campus atmosphere and a personable professors who actually care about your learning experience.

Nina - 06/22/2019

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.

Kaila - 08/11/2017

I love it! I wouldn't have came to learn at this school if I did not feel that it was a 100% 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!

  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.
