I love LeTourneau University! The small size allows me to be close with my professors. I know the head of the Mechanical Engineering department, and he often invites me and a few other students to visit his house down the street for Korean food, because he knows I love kimbab. I have gotten close with the people in my dorm. LeTourneau has challenged me, but also it has allowed me to be more comfortable in my own skin than I have ever been. I have grown spiritually, personally, professionally, and academically.
Review LeTourneau University
From the first week at LeTourneau I knew I'd chosen the right school. Yeah, Texas was as hot as ever but my roommate assignment was perfect and I have many good friends both in and out of my dorm. As an engineer, I got to build my own 3D printer the very first semester and I've had several other hands on projects for classes including welding, lathing, lego robotics, 3D modeling, and much more! When classes got tough, professors and friends alike were there to support me and when presentations went well, they celebrated, too. I loved it so much that I stayed three more weeks to do research. LeTourneau also has a group just for kids who've grown up in other cultures and even though it's been a few years since I lived overseas, it was great to meet other students with similar experiences and talk about issues that you don't experience if you've grown up in one culture your whole life. And of course, if you're looking for a place to get involved and serve through leadership, LeTourneau's got plenty of opportunities for you to join others or start something new!
My experience at LeTourneau University.

I am a Materials Engineer student at LeTourneau. I have mixed feelings about LeTourneau; my overall experience was stressful. LeTourneau offers great teachers and academic experience. On a negative note LeTourneau has strict rules which they harshly enforce; any drinking or smoking any time during a students enrolment can result in suspension.
LeTrouneau has a great teacher to student ratio; I can easily get assistance from my teachers when needed. LeTourneau student body has a relatively close knit community; that is nice.
For someone who enjoys out doors or the night time activities, LeTourneau University would be a bad choice. LeTourneau could definitely improve students experience by being a bit more lenient their rules.
