Although it seemed like a nice college, It wouldn't be a place that I would send my college essay and here's why:
1) Location: Its in Wisconsin. Home of cheese and the Packers, Cold winters and normal summers. It's got the same climate as New York almost but the fact that its in Wisconsin and that I've never heard of before just doesn't make it appealing. For me to tell my friends I'm going to Lawrence University I would have to explain to them where it is, and that's too much.
2) People: The campus doesn't seem very diverse. 75% of the students are white and seems like there's not very many students who attend there. I'm more on bigger colleges and meeting new people. I like being able to meet someone new everyday.
3)Size: The campus seems to be as large as one district in Cornell. I recently visited Cornell university over summer and the campus is huge compared to here. Although Cornell is Ivy league and could expand that far it seems to contained at Lawrence.
4) Athletic Opportunities: Personally I'm areal stickler for staying active and on the campus map there's only two athletic locations. That seems unreal and awful because they are almost right next to each other. I have to stay active and lack of opportunities to stay active drives me away.
5) Cost: $46,371 a year. For a pretty unmentioned college and one that is so small $46,371 seems too much for you're getting
Why i might consider it:
1) Location: I love to swim and half the college is right on a river. Spending my summers on the St. Lawrence river in New York really has me in a summery swimy vibe all the time.
2)Financial Aid: Although the price seems steep there appears to be a lot of financial aid opportunities which is a big plus
3)Housing: The housing seems nice with group homes that are co-ed and some strict to one gender
