Read What Students Are SayingIt has a very small campus, so it is very easy to get around by walking. Teachers and departments are willing to help the students pass and are wanting every student succeed in their careers.
Kaitlyn from Alexandria, LA
I have already been taught by some of the professors at this university and they were great educators. the professors here are the teachers i wish i had in high school. Some of the professors go out of their to make sure you are successful. My favorite teacher was Dr. Haywood Joiner. He does everything he can to help his students. If I could take him for every course I would.
