Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best School ever. Great food great atmosphere for learning and gaining real world experience. Friendly staff on campus and teaching and administrative staff. This isn't your regular Liberal Arts College, this college has every conceivable study and the best student/teacher ratio even one on one. Ethren will be starting his second year in the fall and is well on to his carrier as an international linguist! Travel time listed is the most recent. we have visited the college at least 4 times

Lawrence Academy of Music does a fantastic job on the summer camp program. The kids have a blast and it is music from morning until bedtime. The grounds are clean, safe, and the lessons are wonderful. Staff is friendly and engaging. The music the kids produce in one week is incredible. Recommend to everyone with a kid who loves music.

My daughter just matriculated at Lawrence University last week. So far it appears to be everything she was hoping for. It will be wonderful to watch her grow and blossom there!

Lawrence's campus near downtown Appleton looks like a classic movie set. When visiting the area leave some time to stroll around here and enjoy the classic architecture. The Conservatory offers concerts throughout the year.

Look, no one is moving to the Wisconsin for the weather.
However, everything else about the Lawrence experience is fantastic.

They didn't have food like this when I went to Lawrence! Outstanding quality and variety for the students to dine but also open to the community. Beautiful view of the fox river right out of the large windows. Tasteful modern decorations, a great college restaurant choice.

I'm surprised I've never seen this idyllic place in a movie. The campus is small, only about 1400 students, but they are all very welcoming, intelligent and motivated. It's like Lake Wobegone for students - all above average. There is a beautiful student union with excellent food. Some of the townsfolk even come in to eat here. The chapel and main hall are beautiful. Dorms range from old and full of charm through the 1970s institutional look to modern and all have good WIFI and areas for students to gather. The Conservatory puts on a wide variety of concerts each year. Many things for visitors to see and do on campus.

Exceptional professors who are experts in their subject areas AND who want to, and are able to teach. Small class sizes, beautiful campus. The student center has fantastic food. There is always something going on, on campus. Wish I were young again - I'd love to attend college here.

Loved finding out that the general public can walk in on any day during the school year and eat in the Andrews Commons, several choices available -- all reasonable, much of it organic and locally sourced.

A hidden gem! The cafeteria at Lawrence is awesome! The buffet they set us has anything you could want. I almost don't want to tell others about it!!
