19 Students rated Lawrence Technological University

Braden - 05/07/2024

Lawrence Technological University is in general a very good school with some of the best engineering related programs in the state. The school retains small class sizes and a small campus while having the same amount of resources of a much larger state school. The professors are all professionals in their respective fields and are all very knowledgeable. Dormitories on campus are very new except for the senior housing. The campus is very quiet and has very minimal party activities. The organizations on campus are smaller but there is still quite a few options but it is not prioritized.

Theresa - 02/26/2023

It is a relatively small college, maybe 3,000 students, which makes access to your professors very accessible. For sports, there is football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, and marching band. Because of the size of the college, there is only one Cafe on campus, but they offer a variety of dishes every day. My classes are very hands-on, which helps me learn, and there are many internship opportunities.

Kalab - 04/28/2021

This school felt like home, as soon as I stepped on campus. The dorms for both freshman and upperclassmen are a decently large size, and the class sizes are small, usually about 20 students. And, they also offer a large scholarship for going into a STEM accredited program. And, there is a number of student and faculty interactions, and also activities to find around the school.

Cameron - 05/04/2020

I love LTU! I came here for the rigor of their degree and the connections they have to local industry. You definitely get what you came for here if that is your mindset. I feel like by the time I graduate, I will have many connections with people who will go on to be very successful leaders!

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    When you say that you go to LTU. People usually have no idea, unless they are involved with the community. Our Architecture program is very involved and highly technical,thus University of Michigan vacuums up many of the undergrads to form a great Architectural Grad Program (Top in US 2010) I just wish we could have more recognition.
