So, I have been going to Lander for an entire school year now and I must say it has been pretty entertaining. Not entertaining in a sense that it was like a circus, but entertaining like it was very random. Things usually did not go the way I expected but they went so unexpected it turned out to be fun. Because of this Lander has turned out to be an interesting school.

One of the things that have made Lander more fun and interesting are the events that UPC (University Program Council) put on for the students. "Doe dive", movies, even a glow rave party, which actually would have been very good if more people showed up. UPC does an excellent job setting things up but when people do not show up all that hard work is wasted and unappreciated. So if you want to have a good time at LU, go to UPC events... you won't regret it.

The second thing that has made Lander amazing are the counselors. They are here to get you through your classes and help with problems that you may have. These “problems” could be homesickness, depression and different things like that. They actually do a great job while doing this. Each one of them is ready and available for you to come in and seek help, advisement, or just anything you need.

The last thing that truly helps is just having a friend. A friend that can help with different things such as, tutoring, relaxing in hammocks, and just relieving stress. There is nothing better than just hanging out with the ones you call friend. Having people on campus make things more fun and exciting on campus.

So, my time at Lander University my freshman year was amazing and filled with great times. Even though more people should be apart of the things UPC puts on for people just going with my friends make it all worth it. But the one thing that I CAN say about Lander is that it offers help anywhere and anytime.

So, if you are looking for a college that is not too hard but not too easy, Lander is the choice for you.
