Lake Erie College, located in Painesville, Ohio, approximately 30 miles east of Cleveland, occupies a 125-acre suburban campus characterized by its historic Victorian-era buildings and modern academic facilities. Founded in 1856 as a female seminary before transitioning to a coeducational institution in 1985, the college maintains a selective liberal arts curriculum with distinctive programs in equestrian studies, business, and education. The campus features an equestrian learning center with multiple riding arenas, supporting one of the few college equestrian studies programs in the United States. Students typically reside in one of four residence halls on the main campus, and the college competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Storm, participating in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.
