Lamar University is a great university if you like easy access to professors, many research opportunities, and a good education at a low cost. Since being at Lamar I've been able to conduct research in psychology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Thanks to some of Lamar's programs like McNair and STAIRSTEP, I've been able to go to conferences and present my research.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The professors are so welcoming, don't be shy to ask any questions.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Some classes are very tough-like organic chemistry. However, these are the classes that push the students to think differently and be studious. Of course, classes like art appreciation, are not very difficult.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Each person gets their own room where they sleep... some privacy is always a plus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is good.

There are lots of clubs and organizations available that vary from major related to volunteer oriented. There are even some programs that pay students - like STAIRSTEP and McNair
