Grambling State University is the best HBCU there is! It has a great atmosphere and the Criminal Justice degree program. It makes me feel right at home and it has the best school pride in Louisiana!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you be yourself and do not let anyone change you. Also, make sure you are very honest and humble. Have a lot of positive energy and surround yourself with positive people. Get to know upperclassmen because they know a lot about certain teachers and classes and they are experienced with the campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I major in Criminal Justice and it is a pretty easy going major up until your junior and senior year where the classes change in difficulty. The homework load is not bad either. You have to know how to balance your work and time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life is great! As a freshman, you get your own bathroom, sink, and closet! Once you become a sophomore, you get your own separate room and there is no community bathrooms in Tiger Village! It really gives you the best college experience!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Not only does Grambling have a dining hall, but they also have a Cafe' and a place called the Tiger Express'. The dining hall has stir fry, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and many other choices. The Tiger Express has a Burger King, Panda Express, Topio's, Louisiana Home Zone, Student grocery store, and a Starbucks. The Cafe' has different daily specials everyday and they fix really down home southern dishes.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are over 100 organizations to get involved in depending on what you like to do. There is also clubs for states and different regions of the country so students can feel comfortable. There is also plenty of Greek and Non-Greek organizations to get into. Also, each major has their own clubs to represent their major.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I cannot even put into words how much I love Grambling State University. If you would pay a visit during Homecoming, Springfest, or take a trip to New Orleans for the Bayou Classic then you would see how much the students love Grambling. I fell in love the first time I stepp on campus and I have grown to love it even more. The students have the southern hospitality and bring so much energy to the school. Grambling football games and band is like no other and I go to every game that they have in every sport. Grambling is just a great place to be and anyone who comes will have fun. There is also education things to know about the campus because each building and dorm on campus is named after a significant African American person who meant so much to history. I encourage anyone to come visit and experience it for themselves.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Courtyard and the Quad are two places that people like to unwind after class and many activities are held there during Homecoming and Springfest. People also like to hangout in front of each dorm or at the basketball court by Tiger Village.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Even though it is a Historiacally Black College or University, it is great for any kind of student. It does not matter color, religion, or any other factors. Grambling embraces all types of people and makes them feel at home. There is no discrimination on what types of students that should come to this University.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are over 100 clubs and organizations which can be seen on the website at www.gram.edu. There are clubs for singers, dancers, sports, and clubs for every major. There is also the two biggest organizations on campus which is the Favrot Student Union Board (FSUB) and the Student Government Association (SGA). FSUB creates all fun events on campus including homecoming and Springfest. SGA is the political organization that creates events to uplift and educate students in campus about certain issues in America.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Grambling has the Divine 9 which are Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Iota Phi Theta. They are all great organizations that have different qualities about them to make students want to join.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Grambling police are sufficient and are always available around the clock to help students in danger. They are kind of on the slow side when it comes to getting to certain things on time, but they do come through when they are needed.
