    My biggest issue with this college is the added fees that are included in all students tuition that doesn’t pertain to us specifically! For an example there are added fees for things that the SU Shreveport Campus doesn’t even have! For an example, Choir and band

    SUSLA or Southern University-Shreveport has been a great experience for me academically. The teachers care about you passing and even if they are difficult they still want you to become the best student. It can be a headache to get in touch with people in the administration offices if your not going straight to the offices physically. The classrooms are very diverse in ages and ethnicities and it is very cool experience. The food is always repeating and it's a bit annoying but it's taste pretty good. I try to push new high school graduates to try SUSLA.
    My experience at Southern University at Shreveport is great. The school is very active in school activities, in the community, and making sure that the students are well taking care of. What I love about my University is that, they are all about how that can expand the school by making it great for the students. What I would chance about the school, administration. As a student, make sure u keep up with all documentation and records of who you spoke with.
