Student Perspective
鈥淚 chose Lawrence primarily because it was a small school, and I knew that there were a lot of opportunities for undergrads. For example, as a freshman, I got into a neuroscience research lab, and I鈥檝e been working there ever since. Most schools don鈥檛 have that opportunity open to freshmen, let alone undergrads in general.鈥
