Lees-McRae College 191 Main Street West, Banner Elk, NC 28604

"I couldn’t find a place to leave a review for Lees McRae campus security, so I will leave it here. We were in Banner Elk from out of town and got a flat tire. After waiting for AAA for hours, we called campus security as a last-ditch effort since our car was in an on-campus parking lot. George came to the rescue and helped us with our tire so that we were able to replace it. Might I add that we even called the local police department before this, too. George helped us so selflessly and we probably would’ve been waiting for hours more if it weren’t for him. Lees McRae is so lucky to have a security guard like George."

"We were very impressed with the schools attention to detail of their programs. We loved the wildlife rehab program and vet sciences. The campus is beautiful and we love the fact that they are animal friendly!!!"

"Very Friendly Faculty and students. Absolutely love this college.Beautiful mountain scenery in a small town."

"Beautiful campus. Of ,for, in the mountains is a perfect description. Such great history. Having students bring rocks from their home state and built three buildings in the beginning of it history is amazing. The tie into the churches, and locale is breath taking. Makes me almost won't to go back to school. (Almost ;-)) If you love the outdoors and outdoor recreation, this is a must see school. They even have a classroom on the top of the mountain! Located in Banner Elk NC. A cute down with nice shops and restaurants. But you go here for the mountain!"

"I am an alumini of the college. The professors were great. Dr. Vines, Dr. Joslin, and Dee Thomas were my favorite instructors! They make sure you excell in your studies, have an amazing library and the faculty is amazing! It is a small private college that ranks as the college am that is at a higher elevation than any other college on the east coast. The weather can get cold in the winter and even spring. You never know when it will snow. It is located in the blue ridge mountains between grandfather mountain and beech mountain."
