Academics
At Lawrence, the professors are fantastic. If I disliked a professor, it was usually because of how difficultly they graded or how much work they assigned, not because their teaching skills were lacking. The workload for the average student is generally more than enough to stimulate learning, but still leave ample time for non-academic activities (unless you're a physics major, then you will have no time).
Campus employers will not be assaulting you with job opportunities, but many jobs are available for those who make an effort; it's not hard to get hired, but you won't be spoon-fed a position.
The Career Center is very good at finding internship opportunities and letting the students know about them.

Wireless Everywhere
All dorms are now wireless, which is great. Internet speed is fine unless you are streaming on a friday night, then you may have to wait a bit.

Beautiful Campus
Lawrence offers a combination of the classic, old, collegiate architecture as well as newer, greener, and in my opinion more aesthetic modern classrooms. I love the Lawrence campus, although most of the school year it is covered with a few feet of snow. I have to say, the paths are kept remarkably clear all winter. I could have gone the whole winter without boots.
