There's no other college to attemd but Southeastern! The food is great, the students are great, the teachers are great, and the classes are great! Everyone is so nice and always willing to help. There's so much diversity and so many different options for your majors and extracurricular. Located in downtown Hammond, you're a walk or a short drive away from all kinds of shopping, eating, or just fun. No better college.
Review Southeastern Louisiana University
When I visited the Southeastern Louisiana University for Lion Pride Day, I was treated like family! The staff shared very valuable knowledge about my upcoming collage life and cost! I am so grateful SLU reached out to me! I can not wait to attend there campus! The campus is very well kept and clean. So far, the students and teachers really care for each other. Everyone is so respect full of each other and the campus grounds.
Southeastern Louisiana State University is located in Hammond Louisiana, which is about halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, two of the biggest cities in the state. So students have a minimal commute from either direction plus the setting of the university is beautifully landscaped. In the middle of the campus there is an oval shaped drive called Friendship Circle and in the middle is an old lanky tree where people gather to have lunch or mingle and relax between classes. The branches are like long arms hanging down to the ground! The only true concern I had with Southeastern is the parking or the lack thereof. It usually takes several go rounds before you can find someone leaving and then you're fighting to get that parking space before someone else does. The professors there seem genuinely concerned about providing an education that will benefit us an individuals and as a whole. Definitely a thumbs up for SELU!!
