Lee University Top Questions

I wish that I had known just how friendly and welcoming everyone is. Everyone treats you like family, and they make you feel as though you are apart of something. They encourage everyone to get involved, and they do their best to make sure that everyone succeeds. It truly does make you feel at home, and helps make the college life transition much less scary and definitely much easier. When you are there, it is easy to see that everyone loves and cares about you. It is a better school than I could have ever imagined.

I wish I had known that I would encounter numerous opportunities to be involved in campus organizations and that no students should hesitate to become involved in whatever ways they want. Sometimes I have hesitated to become involved in activities in which I am interested because I didn't know people or felt inexperienced, but I am realizing that I should not be afraid to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. College is a time to discover who you want to be, and my college provides many opportunies to do so.

Just how Christian this university is. While this campus will not shove the word of God down your throat, the teachings are very prevailent throughout the campus.

If only I could go back to my senoir year of highschool and say to myself, "SAVE YOUR MONEY!" School is expensive and I wish that it had hit me a little harder, just how expensive a quality education would cost me. Almost everyday this year I have thought about how it could be if I had tried harder. I also think to myself, if I could go back and work my butt off, I wouldn't have to work my butt off to pay for school and get good grades, and might have actually been able to sleep.

How small the area was and how scholarship was going to be decreased after the first year.

I wish I would not have been so nervous to go so far from home. I also wish I had known how awesome the professors and students are. It blew my expectations out of the water completely.

Although it is a Christian school, many people do not attend church on the weekends. Also, it is good to bring a friend to college so that you are not totally alone for the first few days of registration and all.

I wish I had known more about other people's backgrounds and beliefs. Not everyone is the same. I had to learn to understand and accept others.

It is still very connected to the Church of God, the majority of the students are COG and there are a lot of pastor's kids there. There are a lot of girls who just want their MRS and drop out of school once they get married. Alumni are very devoted to the school and a lot of people stay in the area after they graduate. The school is very social and a great place to grow spiritually and personally; academics come second to your relationships with God and others.

Spend more time building relationships and less time hovering in your studies.
