Location and Individualized Attention
First, the location. LRC is in a very safe suburban area of Pittsburgh. There are plenty of nearby businesses including several banks, large grocery stores, pretty much any pharmacy chain imaginable, a very nice mall, and a few decent restaurants. If you get sick, LRC is next door to a well-known hospital (the ER isn't great but the care is pretty good overall once you're admitted). For student teachers, LRC is in the heart of a very good area for schools. Downtown Pittsburgh is close by as well and is easy enough to access. It's home to some great museums, a beautiful baseball stadium, and if you're into theater, plenty of play venues. You'll need a car to get most places; the campus is surrounded by busy roads not fit for pedestrians (plus most businesses are a decent distance from campus). There are some public buses as well.
Second, the school is known for individualized attention. If you went to a AAA-size high school or larger, you'll probably find the school to be smaller than your high school was. Unlike the big schools, you actually get to interact with professors and classmates instead of sitting through long lectures in an auditorium. Be sure to seek out the professors if you have any problems, as they are always willing to help!
