Am pleasantly surprised to see Eliza's name on the welcome screen at the university's admission and welcome center.
In the summer heat of things, it was good to know that they had a buggy cart which brought us around the campus. Our guide was a graduate from the Accounting, so it was good to have a student's perspective of campus life.
The background is a fountain with the ever-burning flame which forms the logo of Lee University.
Our conclusion/findings from our visit to Lee University:
- Excellent reputation and credibility with the US News and World Report. However, the media department does appear to be quite new and may not have the depth.
- Qualification for scholarship is straightforward. Eliza qualifies for the Presidential Scholarship ($10,000 tuition fees for the first year) and she was only 30 points short of the Centennial Scholarship (full tuition fees for the first year). SAT score only takes into account Maths and Critical Reasoning (1410-1600 for Centennial and 1250-1400 for Presidential).
- The university is well integrated with the Cleveland township (city library, police station, etc all nearby). All freshmen required to stay on campus. Well-organized and planned campus facilities.
- Main church affiliation is with the Church of God - pentecostal denomination. Chapel and other spiritual activities are designed to accommodate a variety of expressions.
Mr. Tan,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you, Eliza, and your family were able to visit Lee University last week. I enjoyed reading about it and seeing the pictures.
The media department (we call it Communication Arts) has been established at Lee for many years. It is true we have a brand new facility, but the program and department are well developed. Hopefully, Eliza will join us as a student after she finishes high school.
Thanks again for your visit and please let me know if I can help you in any way.
