LR makes everything more personal. The learning experience at LR is more intimate. The professors are a world above any other professors or teachers I've ever had.

One thing I like here is that you get a lot of options. Since LR is a small school, you get a chance to be a part of everything. You can be part of many groups. Being engaged for me is a big deal.
