Junior: My experience at ITI was awesome! I was a person going into this type of program with very little knowledge. My professors all helped me with getting around the school, answering questions about certain topics, and also taking that one on one time during their break hours to help with homework. This school is amazing! It’s all about focus and helping us as students get to the next step in our career. I love how faculty also steps in. By this I mean they walk around the school seeing how some classes are, if we are seen in the hallway they’ll ask how’s it going or if there’s anything I can help you with let me know, all these things take a toll on how I see the school and I love it. It’s easy to get around, we have hands on training like no other school, and since then I’ve gone from a B, C student to the Deans list as of last term! I am more than excited about what my skills and knowledge will bring to my new career thanks to being a student at ITI Technical School! Thank you!... Read 141 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 1,107 reviews

Freshman: I feel like this is a good opportunity to go back to College at Central Louisiana College. I am in interested in the H-vac and refrigeration degree. The professor seems to be knowledgeable and nice. This is a Technical degree which can help me get a good paying job after I graduate and it's hands on and not just not all classroom. I will be able to live at home, work part time and still pursue this degree with out the added price of living on a campus. Hopefully this degree will open up endless job opportunities not only within my state of Louisiana but also, out of state jobs if I wish. I like the idea of being able to go to a Technical college without the big college price. For the town of Alexandria there isn't alot to offer as far as job opportunities with out some sort of degree. I want to be able to work part time in the H-vac while I attend school. I am excited to meet new people and explore the possibilities that this degree has to offer.... Read 62 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 1,593 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 653 reviews

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....

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.

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.

Junior: I transferred to Delgado from a bigger four-year college and realized that I wish I would've came to Delgado sooner. Delgado is a better fit for me because I can go to school and do online classes all while still being able to live at home and work for my money. The professors really want you to learn and succeed. The only thing that I would change would be making it easier to get in touch quickly with the faculty at the school. Not many answer emails or phone calls until days after, which I wish wasn't the case in times of stress dealing with scheduling and financial aid. Overall, Delgado is a good college and I would recommend it to others!... Read 686 reviews

There were many activities in the court yard such as volley ball tournaments and other fun games that school clubs would host. There was always something fun going on when you walked out of a class building. The administration is very helpful as well.

Junior: SUSLA is a HBCU that believes in equality and socialism . Although no place is perfect , the Southern at Shreveport staff work hard to function as though the college is. During my collegiate career in the field of nursing, I have ran into many hurdles. This did not deter me from my goal of one day soon graduating from SUSLA Spring 2024 ,with an associate degree in nursing and a minor certification in early childhood education. Some instructors will make you feel low about yourself not uplifting, while a sum of others will make a scholar feel spiritually and mentally empowered.
