    Am learning a lot

    The professors at this university really take interest in who you are and in what you hope to accomplish at Lake State. It seems as though they acknowledge their role as a TEACHer and genuinely want to do their job.
    Am enjoying being here

    Sault Ste Marie is a lovely place to be. I love that when I am wearing Laker apparel throughout the city, random community members will stike up a conversation with you and you will end up talking for an hour. On campus, upperclassmen are extremely helpful and kind. Students in my class are equally kind and wonderful. People are really easy to get along with. From massive snowball fights on Brady lawn to a game of Apples to Apples in Osborn lobby to Laker hockey games in the arena, there is always something to do if you look hard enough.
    Bang for the buck

    There are a lot of fun and good things at Lake State. You learn a lot. My experience, knowledge, and time spent here has been priceless and memorable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come on up for a visit. You'll love the UP! It is so beautiful. However, if you cannot handle the cold, maybe this school is not right for you.
    Great for these types of students

    Lake State is surrounded by wildreness. It is great or the outdoorsy type. If you are laid back and love being outside, you will fit in fine. There are several differnt types of people here, but you wouldn't be hard pressed to find a guy with a neon orange hat and a camo coat on.

    Tips for prospective students

    Try and spread out your Gen Ed's for the summer if you're planning on leasing off campus, that way you can take time on your major classes without feeling overwhemled with needed extras.

    Also, as of right now (2009 - 2010 school year), you'll pay a flat rate for credits. So whether you take 12 or 17 credits, you're paying the same amount. This would be the college to take that yoga class, or to learn to scuba dive. You'll enjoy it, and it'll be a stress reliever. Plus, you're already paying for it.
    Great for these types of students

    Nursing students, Fire Science students, CJ students, Fishers students, and some select others.

    it is a fun, close college. if you need any help with anything you can get it. they always have people there to help you with any problems and you always have friends around you to help you also.
    Tips for prospective students

    a tip for a prospective student is to always use your resources when you get there. all of the teachers are willing to help you no matter what and also to use the learning center. the learning center is a place to get help with everything from you everyday work to studying for an exam and writing papers. it is a very helpful and useful place on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    this school is pretty academically rigorous. you have to make sure you study just like any college. there are some classes that are more difficult that others but it really just depends on how dedicated you are to studying to the grade and difficultly to which you have in the class.
    Dorm Life

    the dorm life on campus is fun. there are always events that the ras have planned everything from a scavenger hunt to a trip to the bowling alley. you form a close knit family with everyone in the dorm. the dorm are split so that the girls live in osborn for the first year and the guys live in brady. then the next year they become co-ed so that the girls and guys live in the same building.
    Food and Dining

    the food is alright in the cafeteria. there are many places to eat through out campus though. many of the places have good food. the only thing that makes the food not the best in the cafeteria would be that there isn't mach variety though out the year, but other then that the food is pretty good.
    What to do for fun

    there are some things to do for fun. some examples are to go out bowling, go to a hotel and swim, and go to the student activities center and play sports or work out. if you don't enjoy that kind of stuff then the school does offer many other things such as movie nights and they also have an area to play board games, pool and foosball.

    lake state is a small and interactive campus that is focused on a learning environment. it is personable and everyone knows everyone on campus, or they at least recognize them. it is a very worthwhile school to attend, i love the opportunities i have been given that bigger universities may not have been able to give me.
    Tips for prospective students

    come visit the school and talk to students you see walking around. all the students here believe that the beliefs of this small school are what drew them here. the small class sizes and interactive campus make it easy to meet new people and create lifelong friendships.
    What to do for fun

    there are many outdoor activities for the adventurer. we have many private owned restaurantes with great food selection. there is a bowling alley and movie theater within five minutes of campus. not to mention the scenery of the up that makes for a great road trip. there is always something to do up here.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    sault ste. marie michigan hosts the i500 (large snowmobile race) every february and it brings the whole town together as well as many students from campus. the i500 has become a town tradition. the d1 hockey team also brings the whole town together on game nights to support them. it's a great family atmosphere when the town comes together.

    Will learn a lot

    I love that they differ things at this school than others. One being the hunting, and fishing cleaning. I also like the fact that they had a shooting range. I think that it is very important that they tools that students can use for what there career may be. See I want to go in did a criminal justice so a think that it an amazing that they have many different types of law officers at and around that campus site. The school also has many historical to visit.
    Will enjoy being here

    I believe that I'll ready enjoy being at this school. When I visited it with my family both of my sisters as that they could see me being there. Also to me at less it had a ready home feel. But that just me.
    Bang for the buck

    Like some colleges now there join with Barnes and nobles for a rent-o-book thing. Which I think is awesome that students and get there text books for a lot less.

    Am learning a lot

    The student teacher ratio is unbelieveable. I have a great educational relationship with every professor I've had. Each has been very helpful in and outside of the classroom. Always willing to help and direct you in the right direction.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the outdoors, and if you do too then you'll love it here! It's a small friendly campus with lots of campus activities.

    Am learning a lot

    The student to professor ratio is really good so you get to do a lot of one on one with your professor. It's helping me learn the material and then some extra.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the upper peninsula. This is a small campus and I come from a small town so it isn't so overwhelming.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come and tour the campus. I toured the campus a couple times before I decided to attend. It's small so you can find your classes easily and fast. The campus is in a city but there are a lot of wilderness to be discovered too.
    Great for these types of students

    If you're not afraid of a lot of snow at one time and like being outdoors this would be a great college.
