The atmosphere is great! The administrators are more like family. The institution is more concerned with you understanding the information in which you are being taught. The classes are small, which makes each class more engaging and personal. Instructors are available during their office hours to assist you if need be. The instructors are SUPER helpful. As long as you put forth effort as a student you will do well at the institution. I recommend anyone going to this university or any others to stay at one institution all four years. They say transferring an Associate's degree is easy, but it's not. Staying at one institution will help the student become molded with the proper mindset of one institution. I enjoy the people and am excited about my future upon graduation from SUNO!
Review Southern University at New Orleans
I attended this college 2011-2012, i didn't really like it. It was very unorganized, and alot of the professors didn't teach. The on campus housing was over priced,i was moved from dorm to dorm the whole semester because of pest controll issues. It just seem liked everything was thrown together. The only thing i enjoy was the extracurricular activities, you know, the fun stuff. Thats the only things they seemed to have been organized.
After I recieve my degree I'm not sure what type of opportunities may be presented to me. It's not many opportunities for internships here. I rarely here students speak of getting internships. Since I have been attending school here I have not encountered one job fair or employers recruiting here on campus. We don't have a career center to help us with job placement or services. We are definitely lacking one for the students who attend school here. Their is no alumni network. However, the alumni is not strong.
