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 1,652 reviews

Sophomore: I am attending Leavell College and have just completed my second year of undergrad work. What I like the most is the ability to complete online as well as the commitment of the instructors. I enjoy knowing that even miles apart, I can reach out and talk with my instructors at any time. Something to change would be the scholarships that are offered through their school. To make them available to the online students.... Read 58 reviews

Alum: Loyola University New Orleans is, for me, then place where new experiences are formed. My first years there was a little roller coaster because of multiple factors. First, I am from another country, therefore the cultural and education system shock was a big thing. I met a lot of people and learned so much from the amazing, well-prepared professors. The institution is small, therefore the personalized education is real. Nonetheless, with being a small private school, one would think that communication with the administration is a smooth ride. Honestly, it was not. I had to consistently be on everyone's back to make sure that my financial aid and the payments where being processed and that it was what I signed up to get and pay. In summary, this institution will open your eyes to a new and fruitful way of learning and you will make a lot of connections. However, administratively, it can use some work.... Read 1,014 reviews

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!...

Junior: LSUA online is an amazing way to earn a degree! 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 203 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

Sophomore: Definitely not the school for someone looking for a large "party" school but for those looking for closer, genuine connections it's great! I loved all my teachers and felt like a person, not a number, not to mention everyone (even the students) are always so happy to help! While it's not a big party school, they did have many fun events like the annual crawfish boil.... Read 236 reviews

Alum: The University of Holy Cross soon became my home away from home. Despite its size, the University offers quality programs in in-demand disciplines. The small classes sizes ensure that every student gets individualized attention and, at UHC, you’re not just a number on a spreadsheet. Attending UHC give you the best balance between school and social. Only a few miles from the city of New Orleans, UHC is small and far enough to focus on your education, but close enough to let yourself have fun and explore as well! If you are looking for an institution thar genuinely cares about you and your future, look no further!... Read 174 reviews
