<p>I am probably applying to Lawrence University this year, and I have a few questions about studying abroad and greek scene at Lawrence. </p>
<p>First, is it easy for LU to study abroad (what's the percentage of students who study abroad?) and are their programs well organized?</p>
<p>Second, I am really not at all into greek. Is greek life at LU big and dominant?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>please also ask these questions to admissions. Don't wait for an answer in this forum. My recollection when I went through the discovery process w/ my freshman daughter was study abroad was 27 pct. I remember that the big USNReport book had this stat. Tip: consider browsing it at the bookstore. </p>
<p>It seems that it might be a challenge to sync up study abroad programs with LU's trimester structure. The exception is LU's London pgm, in which it is very easy to do s abroad, as I understand.</p>
<p>My stats for last yr was 21 pct an 9 pct for frat and sorority.</p>

<p>anyone else please pipe in.</p>
<p>I forgot to add - my daughter likes LU alot so far.</p>
<p>D is a junior this year - my impression is that study abroad is emphasized and many students participate -- L did a 2-month summer program and 2 good friends are currently gone this term. Lots of folks do study abroad and LU has it's own London Center organization -- check out the the page on their website.</p>
<p>D is not Greek -- most of her friends are not, some are. It doesn't seem to be a strong focus but also not looked down upon.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I forgot to say thank you! And by the way I've decided to apply to Lawrence this year</p>
<p>How does emphasis on study abroad reconcile with the restrictive FA policies on study-abroad? Lawrence is far less generous in that respect than most other schools I am considering. No merit applies, and only a certain amount of need-based (don’t recall exact number, but assuming equal costs to study in Europe per se, definitely <10k vs. ~20k semester COA).</p>
