My experience at Louisiana Tech University has been overall very positive. Just in the first week, my college held events that allowed me to put myself out there and make some of the best friends I have ever made. LA Tech makes it so easy to hang out anywhere with friends and study or just hang out. The academics are also very good. I have learned so much this past year, and most of my teachers have been very considerate and have helped me when I have asked for it. The school is mostly centered on the Engineering and Science majors, so if you wish to go into those majors, definitely apply to become a fellow bulldog!

Review Louisiana Tech University

The school as in faculty and professors, I’ve had a good experience. The university as a whole has a typical University problems. Since I’ve toured and attended there’s is constant construction somewhere on campus. This causes lots of traffic through campus during the day because streets are blocked off.There is limited parking and housing options forcing some people to find housing off campus. The cafeteria food is good for the first month or two before it rapidly declines. Most of the schools funding goes towards the engineering and business facilities while everyone else is stuck in old buildings. The campus is pretty safe though and the student centers and recreation areas are clean and friendly environments. I have no complaints about the recreation building, along the gym we have bowling, rock climbing, pool and ping pong. There are an abundance of clubs and organizations.

Tech is a great school academically. It stands out from the rest of schools in the nation due to it being on a quarter system. The quarters move quickly, but the pro is that you graduate earlier if taking the proper amount of hours per quarter. The environment is wonderful and there’s something for everyone. It’s easy to make clubs and socialize. The atmosphere is supportive and students and alumni love gamedays. It’s a small town, so the campus is always sweet and you’ll always meet someone you know no matter where you go.
