Freshman: Tulane University is so fun and lively. The classes are interesting and valuable, and the professors are very passionate and care about their students' success. The campus environment is amazing, and there is an abundance of student resources. The city of New Orleans is a blast, and uptown New Orleans is relatively safe. I may be biased as a student at Tulane, but I genuinely believe it is the best university, and I am so happy with my decision to attend. Tulane University is a community, and I encourage anyone interested to apply. Roll Wave!... Read 1,658 reviews

Sophomore: 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!... Read 1,112 reviews

Freshman: LSU is not only diverse, campus wise, but they have a diverse set of options for students who have specific interest. For example, for those who enjoy sports, we have some of the best football games/events in the nation, aswell as one of the best Recreational centers I've seen. On the other hand, students who are more focused on the academics, have opportunities like the honors college and academic groups. Ofcourse, it doesn't just stop there, as there is a vast amount of religious and inclusive organizations. Another great aspect on campus are the friends I've made, many of the residence and students on campus are kind and open minded. Louisiana State is currently changing. Theyve had new additions and renevations to the Engineering College and they are currently working near the Science Hall. Many of the campuses problems are actively being worked on, like more security around campus. I've really enjoyed my experience thus far and would like to continue my education here!...

Freshman: The university always tries to connect with students. That being on social media or announcing any events during class. In addition to this, the professors are a very helpful resource. They try to communicate as best as they can to students. They let us know that it is not as hard as we think it is, but if we try to try our hardest, it would be a breeze for our learning experience. Moreover, the university also worries for their students. For example, they keep us up to date with any weather hazard and gives us any tips or advice on how to handle severe weather. For example, this heat. They let us know to wear baggy clothing, always bring a water bottle, and to rest on the shade when we feel tired. To add on, they keep us poster for events or for fun activities for residential students when they feel bored in dorms. All in all, I think the University of Louisiana at Lafayette has given me the best experience as a first time freshman for class of 2027. GEAUX CAJUNS!... Read 1,602 reviews

Freshman: My time at the University of New Orleans (UNO) was a transformative experience that I will forever cherish. The vibrant campus and diverse community created an enriching environment for learning and personal growth. One standout memory was the interdisciplinary project where students from various majors collaborated to address a real-world issue. This experience not only broadened my perspective but also honed my teamwork and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the city's unique culture infused every aspect of campus life, from jazz performances to Mardi Gras celebrations. UNO provided not just education, but a holistic journey that shaped me into a well-rounded individual.... Read 791 reviews

Alum: My overall experience with ULM was great! I loved learning from all of my classes. I graduated cum laude earning a B.B.A. degree in Computer Information Systems. I would highly recommend this university to anyone who loves to learn. I liked the fact that the professors were helpful and answered all of my questions. I received a Pell Grant, work-study financial aid, and a student loan to help me pay for my ULM tuition, room and board, textbook fees, and other various expenses. Make sure you complete your online FAFSA in order to obtain financial aid.... Read 754 reviews

Senior: I love the professors that are at Nicholls. They are very understanding and very helpful. Most of them are deemed as "mean", but this just means that they are doing their job. Most of them are helpful when it comes to grades and I really like that. People have so many things going on, so having our professors being understanding shows wonders. Also, having the flexibility of classes, (i mean it is college so , duh!) helps with people who have children and the ones that are working to get through college as well!... Read 658 reviews

Freshman: I am in the dual enrollment program at McNeese State University during my senior year and have had a very pleasant experience while attending classes. It will help me when I become a full time McNeese State collage student. The instructors have been a great help to me as I have worked my way through learning the ins and outs of the university. The campus is nice and inviting while not too expansive to get to classes daily. It is in the heart of the Lake Charles area making it convenient to do things and go places when I am not in class. While having many choices of food on campus, there are a verity of restaurants close by making it convenient to get a good meal. I feel the investment into my future will be best served at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. During football and baseball season the fields are filled faithfully with McNeese State University athletes and faithful students as well as McNeese State University alumni.... Read 864 reviews

Sophomore: My experience at Southeastern Louisiana University is like no other. I could not imagine myself at any other University. With the great education, staff, food and student activities it can’t get any better! The diverse environment makes the whole campus thrive and all of the student organizations make it brighter. This university sets a good example on what a university should be, the people that I feel get the less recognition are the academic advisors without their guide our paths would be lost and southeastern definitely has the best ones....

Sophomore: So far, my experience at Northwestern Stare University has been great! The classes are smaller than other public universities, and my professors know me by name and are happy to help students if they struggle in a particular subject. The faculty at NSU wants every student to succeed, so they all make sure to get the students in the classes that they need to graduate by helping with scheduling. There are also so many opportunities to get involved on campus- there is something for everyone. Campus involvement also provides an opportunity for scholarships, which is amazing! Academically, there isn’t anything I would like to be changed, but there is one thing that needs to be considered: the roads. They are very bumpy and a lot of the commuters and others who drive on campus have popped tires and damaged their vehicles because of the roads. But if you get around campus on foot, it isn’t really an issue. Other than that, my overall experience at NSU has been excellent.... Read 1,111 reviews

Junior: I love Southern! The atmosphere is great and it feels as if you’re apart of a family! However, I would like to see a few things change. The campus and surrounding area could be worked on drastically. Most buildings are old and worn down so that could use some improvement. Also making sure that the students have a secure safe area around the school should be a priority. There’s not much to do around Southern, but if you are to drive 10 minutes away towards LSU campus the surrounding area is amazing filled with multiple shopping and food areas. I would like to see that same setting around Southern just because it is a majority black school does not mean when don’t deserve the same nice things!... Read 932 reviews

Freshman: My experience at Loyola University New Orleans was truly transformative. The university's strong commitment to academic excellence, social justice, and community engagement left an indelible mark on my college years. The diverse and inclusive community at Loyola fostered meaningful connections and friendships. The Jesuit tradition of education instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and ethical values. The vibrant city of New Orleans provided a unique backdrop for my academic journey, with its rich cultural heritage and opportunities for personal growth. Loyola's emphasis on community service allowed me to give back and make a positive impact.

Alum: I am a graduate of Xavier university of Louisiana, i graduated in spring of 2021 and honestly your time at Xavier is what you make it. I was a biology pre-med major and that track is not the easiest track to follow. The classes require a lot of time and focus. However the professor and your peers are there to help, go to the resource centers if you need help. The cafe decibels has good food on Wednesday and fridays those were my favorite days. The activities and student life on campus is 10/10 you have to get out of your dorm and meet people. Xavier focuses heavily on community service and has plenty of service opportunities. Our athletics is a pretty good program I was about of Gold Star Dance team and had a blast. All of our games are always heavily supported by our students. There are many organizations to join on campus. In closing the party life is amazing as well there will always be something for you to do, I mean you are in New Orleans. Hope you choose XU!...

The orientation they have set up is very thorough, and helps to easily guide you throughout the process of become accustomed to online learning. Setting up appointments to speak to advisors is a breeze, and can usually be done with the the click of a few buttons. I would definitely recommend LSUA online to anyone who is interested in distanced learning.... Read 209 reviews

Junior: 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!... Read 648 reviews

Sophomore: I was hesitant for college because I had to meet new people and learn a whole new studying technique for the classes at LCU and I was really scared that I wasn’t going to do well in college. However looking back, I don’t think that I would love college so much if I wasn’t at LCU! The atmosphere here on campus is unlike any other that you’ll find in the state of Louisiana. The professors here are the sweetest human beings I’ve ever met in my life. The students are so encouraging and accepting and it’s easy to meet anyone at anytime! We have a lot of fun activities on campus every Thursday to get people to take a break from studying and mingle with people and that’s where I’ve met my best friends! I’ve also found my future spouse! LCU is a great and safe place to be where you are challenged by the educators and where you will be prepared for real work life. #gowildcats!... Read 311 reviews

Freshman: I've had an amazing experience with everyone from Centenary from the soccer coach to the admissions office. The soccer coach was extremely influential in my decision to play college soccer. During my unofficial visit, the coach took me on a tour of the school. I was excited about the classroom sizes and athletic facilities. The coach was extremely personable and down to earth. He convinced me that Centenary would be a perfect fit for me. Unfortunately, Centenary College is a private school therefore it cost a lot of money to attend. I wish my dream college was more affordable. I'm taking out student loans but I'm nervous about having a so much money to pay off after college. I would love to avoid such a HUGE student debt when I complete my four years at Centenary.... Read 179 reviews
