Lamar University is the very definition of Southern hospitality. The professors are flexible and enjoy working with students who have the drive for education. The campus is not too large or too small and is perfect for and uncrowded learning experience ideal for open minded students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Consider Lamar as the place to attend if you desire to focus on your studies. I'm currently attending for Engineering and there are actually people in the department looking for jobs FOR YOU! Yes, there are people actually looking to get you into an internship QUICK! Lots of engineering options here, ideal for a economic hardship in this day and age.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I would not say that classes are very difficult for ANY college. It all depends on the students drive. One will excel at any level of education with the right attitude. At Lamar the atmosphere allows for such a drive to influence students to pursue more than they believe they are capable of. The area of the college has nothing to do with ones internal drive for a better future.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
At Lamar the dorms are perfect for me. I love the apartment style. Much better than the dorms at Texas State, which are just one room with 2 bunk beds. Lamar is currently expanding and gaining revenue to make changes to live up to standards one wouldn't expect the school to have.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Lets be honest, nothing beats mom's cooking! Especially southern mommas! The Lamar dining hall is catered by Chartwells and is decent. I do love the buffet style dining hall and the building is very nice. There are only 3 places to eat on campus and 5 if you consider subway and kampus korner, which are in walking distance. Other places are a 5 minute car ride, so not too bad.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
College night off campus downtown Beaumont! Any of the clubs there aren't bad at all. Cheap drinks with a fairly crowded place. Good music. Don't get carried away, police DO show up around the parking lots.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Classes are not expensive at all compared to other 4 year schools. The professor will help you excel because they aren't doing research the school assigns them or anything that would distance themselves from the students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Stand the whole game! Be loud! You'll learn the chants, just show up.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Social types of students will get along with anyone. No type of prejudice around campus. Also, looks aren't everything at all, just walk up to anyone for help or small talk.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Activities are on time and are a great way to meet new people that you'll most likely have classes with. Make friends, just in case you get sick and need notes later!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Well rounded groups are on campus and will fit any niche. The activities are planned ahead of time and community service is something offered and what greeks should be known for.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Sometimes the safety feels a bit excessive but as long as you have nothing to hide, just move on with your own business. Some students do mess it up for others, but that happens anywhere you go.
