I'm sure if you know me, you have most likely heard me talk about this school more times than one, probably more times than you want me to. Just so many things about it, make me extremely excited for the next three years.
Lee University is a small liberal arts college of a little over 6,000 students located in Cleveland, Tennessee.
When I first visited this school, I went into it thinking this was going to be my back up school. Oh boy, was I wrong.
When I stepped foot onto the campus, I became in awe of its beauty and how welcoming the people were. It was not too big, but then also not too small. Walking around campus, there was just something about this school that just put my mind at ease. It was definitely an experience I didn't get at the other school.
Lee University is a school well known for their music program. I grew up basically surrounded by music all my life whether it was in choirs or praise bands, so the program they had definitely swayed me a lot.
When we got there, we had about 15 minutes before we were going into the opening session. Once we went into the session, we were welcomed by multiple people. It made me feel at home.
During the Frontline session, they had talked about second chances, which to me was definitely important when looking at schools. With transferring around a lot in high school, it was kinda difficult when applying to colleges.
They then showcased us to the many different things that the school had to offer from the Voices of Lee to Kingdom Players. These groups did a little more than just amaze me.
This school had everything and more that I was looking for.
Something about it, just spoke to me. It definitely surpassed my expectations. I was sold.
After that frontline, I just knew that Lee was the place for me.
Of course because of expenses, I knew I would have to go to a community college in my town for a year to save up some money but also improve my grades a little.
Because I wasn't going in right away as a freshman and going in as a transfer, I decided to join the freshman group on facebook to just get to know some of the people who were basically going through kind of the same thing I was going to be going through.
Through that facebook group, I have talked to and met so many people that don't think I would've met for a long time if it wasn't for that group. I have honestly made so many friendships already that has put my mind at ease going in.
I'm excited for these next three years and where they are gonna take me.
Lee U, you already mean the world to me and I haven't even started yet.
