Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Since I arrived at Lake Erie College, I have had the privilege of learning one life lesson after another. I have not only had the chance to excel in the classroom under the tutelage of amazing professors, but I have learned a lot about myself as a person. The instructors give time to their students and make sure that they understand the material. They take the time to approach a student as an individual in a small class environment and I truly believe that it has made all the difference in my education. They know my name, how I learn best, and really care about my future. I highly recommend this institution to anyone that wants to learn hands-on in a positive, small classroom environment.
Am enjoying being here Lake Erie College is a wonderful place to be! From the classrooms to the campus events, there is always a feeling of welcome. The college hosts many different events through the year ranging from cultural to just plain, good old fun. Everyone can find a place amongst their peers at LEC. Whether it is a student's goal to join greek life or one of the many clubs, this school has a niche for everyone. Cant find the club for you? Make it! Lake Erie College encourages involvement of all kinds. From the many campus events to events of their own making, students are never without something to do. Perhaps a student might want to go off campus? There are a lot of options in the immediate area for students to pursue. The buses in Painesville offer discounted rates for Lake Erie College students. There is ample shopping, movie theatres (they offer discounts too!), bowling, restaurants, and more. Lake Erie College is unlike many other colleges in that it allows all students to have vehicles, regardless of class status. That means that a student is also free to explore nearby Cleveland, home of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, the famous Cleveland Zoo, and many other attractions. Lake Erie College truly is a wonderful place to be!
Bang for the buck At first glance, any college can appear daunting as far as finances are concerned and LEC is no different. Many people may see that it is a private institution and feel like it will be expensive. This is my advice: Just ask our financial aid department. I was amazed at what they could do for me. After all of the aid they were willing to give, it turned out that this private school was just as cheap as a public one. In fact, in my case, it was even cheaper! This college is well worth what any prospective student might put into it. The professors are capable, willing, and friendly. The classes are small, the courses are challenging, and all the amenities of campus life make this school too good of a deal to pass up.
Tips for prospective students My advice to any prospective student is just to visit and don't rule any college out before you do. See for yourself what Lake Erie College, or any other college for that matter, has to offer you. Meet your professors, tour the campus, and hear the opinions of other students you meet. You might be surprised at what you find.
Great for these types of students Lake Erie College is great for students who are self motivated and want to succeed. The classes are small and hand-on, and the professors take the time to truly teach. Students who want to have a cultural experience, make lifetime connections, and chase their passions have a place at LEC.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lake Erie College is a private school that is full of life. The teachers are always available and want each student to succeed. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) I give Lake Erie College a 12!
Tips for prospective students Lake Erie has lots of opportunities, by being out going and willing to talk to teachers and staff members you can find yourself once and a life time chances that will help you in your future career.
Academic Rigor The academics are nothing to take lightly. I am a current student in the science department. The teachers are always there to help, but also make sure they don't help to much. College is a learning experience. Students are taught to problem solve and challenge themselves.
Dorm Life The dorms spacious, very clean and well maintained. There are two students to one room. Each room had a closet, bed, desk and a lamp. All rooms have a nice view of the campus. Students residing in the dorms respect the property of the college. The bathrooms are kept clean and everyone is respectful to each other.
Food and Dining The food and dining is located in one of Lake Erie's newest buildings. It is a buffet style. The tables are always kept clean. The best part is the staff in the cafe, they are friendly and are like every one's mother. They make coming to meals a pleasant and caring setting.
What to do for fun There are lots of campus activities. Lots of group sports that students can sign up for. The college often gets free tickets to plays, movies, NFL football games and MLB baseball games.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a day called Mountain Day. All classes are canceled and the college sets up games, along with a picnic. The students never know when mountain day will be. The president of the college is always around and talks to the students so he tends to pick a day that help the students to have a relaxing day off. When living in the dorms mountain day is extra exciting because at 6am the college brings a band of bag pipe players to play for the students.
Great for these types of students Lake Erie is great for athletes. The college is moving in the direction of collegiate sports. Also Lake Erie is a well known equestrian school, one of the best in the country. So if students are looking to pursue a career in horses LEC is the place to be.
Clubs and Activities There are numerous clubs both academic and fun.
Greek Life Lake Erie Has one sorority and one fraternity. The ladies of Lake Erie are Gamma Phi Betas and The Gentlemen are Kappa Sigmas.
Campus Safety The campus is very safe. Security is on call 24 hours 7 days a week. They respond very quickly. Students can go to security for anything; a ride home, locked out of dorms, parking matters, etc.

The professors are very dedicated to seeing their students succeed. Lake Erie College is small, but offers a wide variety of majors and minors for undergraduates, as well as graduate students.
Tips for prospective students For those who are interested in attending Lake Erie College, I would suggest getting to know your professors early on. Establishing a good rapport with your professors and adviser can come as a great advantage as you complete your semesters. The small size of the school makes it very easy to establish a one-on-one relationship with the staff. The staff and faculty wants everyone to succeed, and will do all they can to help. Getting involved in clubs and activities is a great way to meet new people. Lake Erie College is small, but it is still absolutely very possible to establish friendships and relationships with your fellow classmates.
Academic Rigor The difficulty of the classes at Lake Erie College varies slightly on your intended minor and/or major, as well as your course load. The classes are challenging, but not so difficult that you will not be successful. There is an academic learning center, and tutoring available for subjects such as math, Spanish, and psychology. Help is always available for students if it is needed.
Dorm Life The dorms at Lake Erie College are similar to most dorms. They are small, but offer all necessary components to successful living. There are plenty of on and off campus housing opportunities.
Food and Dining Lake Erie College has a very large dining hall. There is a mini-cafe located in the same building as the main cafeteria. Students can have a meal plan, or pay with cash in the cafeteria. The current daily cost for entrance to the cafeteria is $5.00. This may seem like a lot of money for lunch, but in paying the $5.00, you have unlimited access to anything in the cafeteria. There is a salad bar, soup choices, vegetarian choices, multiple main entree choices, and other options available to students and faculty.
What to do for fun There are many opportunities to take part in activities at or near the school. For example, you can attend sporting events, plays, and fundraisers. Downtown Painesville is located approximately one mile down the road from Lake Erie College, offering restaurant options, and other activities within walking distance.
Bang for the buck Lake Erie's current tuition is currently approximately $27,000. It is a bit pricey, but there are more options for obtaining scholarships and grants. Lake Erie College is a very prestigious school in the area. It has been around since the early 1800s and still thrives today. A degree from Lake Erie College is sure to please those who know!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus College Hall, the original building of Lake Erie College, is said to be haunted by a ghost who was once a student in the 1800s. Tiberius is a mascot of Lake Erie. It is tradition for students to rub his head before games for good luck.
Great for these types of students Lake Erie College is great for those who like small schools. As previously mentioned, the one-on-one relationships with your professors is easily obtained. Some schools give you the feeling that you are just a number. Lake Erie College does not give me that feeling at all. The staff and faculty say hello and good morning. It is a very welcoming school.
Clubs and Activities There are a plethora of clubs and activities for students. Marching band, pep band, and academic clubs are just a few. You can join student union groups as well. The availability of involvement is excellent if you choose to take part.
Greek Life Lake Erie College currently has four Greek clubs. They are Gamma Phi Beta, Greek Council, and Kappa Sigma, and Alpha Psi Omega.
Campus Safety Lake Erie College always has security on campus. They will walk you to your car whenever you feel it is needed. They always stay on top of making sure everyone feels safe. Also, the Painesville Police Dept. is located about five minutes from the campus.

Categories Rating Comments Food and Dining on occassion can be really good, but overall not the best. breakfast is probably the best meal they offer.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus mountain day and field day are two unusual tradition's that normally wouldn't be found on other campuses. mountain day is an unscheduled day at the end of september in the fall semester where classes are cancelled for the day and a bunch of activities take place on campus. field day is where the entire school gets together for fun and games the first sunday before school begins.
Great for these types of students great for the student who likes a small environment with small class sizes and teachers who care about students' futures.
Clubs and Activities offers a wide range of clubs and activities, including a total of 23 men's and women's sports teams competing at the division ii level.
