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
