    Lees-McRae has a great curriculum and great academics. I am a Wildlife Biology major and a lot of my classes are hands-on which helps a lot with the learning process. The small class sizes are great because professors can hear what their students have to say. The professors here are also very helpful. They really want to see their students succeed and do well in life, so they do everything they can to help you if you are having trouble with something. There is also plenty of tutoring help if you need help with a certain subject. read full review
