Dillard University Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 638 reviews
I love Dillard University! Since my sophomore year in high school, I've wanted to come to Dillard because it is a small campus, and the nursing program is fantastic here! I know that finding an HBCU with a small campus was number one for me. I love to be able to connect with my professors no matter which class it is. Professors have given me their personal contact information, which is unique because, at other universities, the professor may need to provide you with their contact number. The professors here at Dillard want you to succeed! The overall campus at Dillard is gorgeous, and we have been mentioned in the Cosmopolitan article that selects 10 HBCUs with the prettiest campuses. It is also relatively easy to figure out the campus and which buildings are which. The faculty and students here are lovely, and everyone is welcoming to the campus! If you are ever in New Orleans, definitely check out Dillard University!
Dillard University is a small HBCU that has many resources. My experience has not been easy due to the rigorous courses, but I have learned that connecting with faculty and staff helps! Dillard is also family oriented. I believe that it is very important that students, along with faculty and staff can rely on each other if necessary. Dillard has proved to be an institution that cares for its students and has their best interests at heart.
My experience at Dillard University has been great! We have survived hurricanes, and COVID-19 due to the ability to transition from in class to virtual to hybrid.
Probably the biggest concern would be the Wi-fi at times. Other than that, DU is a good school.
