Describe your college in three sentences.

McNeese State University is everything I thought it would be. The professors and classes are amazing. I feel at home here because it is very personable.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a great college for anyone. The professors are very friendly as well as the students. Classes are challenging but nothing that a new or old college student cannot handle.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Yes, the classes are challenging, but there are ways to avoid stress. Just go to class everyday, pay attention, and study. There you have it.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Living on campus is great. The dorms are right on the side of campus and very new-looking. They have a very inviting feel to them.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food in the cafeteria is different everyday. The lunch ladies are wonderful and very hospitable. There is home-cooked food, as well as, fast food, a salad bar, and dessert. There is also all-day breakfast foods, soft drinks, milk, juice, and flavored water. Everything anyone could ever imagine is there.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are on-campus activities everyday. Football games, petting zoos, circuses, open-mic night, back-to-school parties and many other things to do await anyone attending MSU. There are also over 100 clubs to attend. The interests of everyone are accommodated here.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

All of this fun stuff is going on yet this college is still very affordable. The prices are not sky-high and this college works with anyone having financial issues.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

During the fall semester there is something called amnesty day. Maybe someone did not realize where they were parking or there were simply not enough places to park. Either way, they received a ticket. On amnesty day, that ticket is removed from their record free of charge.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Every type of student is welcome here. This is a college that does not discriminate against anyone.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are many clubs that people can enter. There are christian clubs, the Student Union Board that puts on many activities on campus, clubs that focus on volunteer work, and a variety of others. How can one choose?!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Although I am not in one, there are sororities and fraternities for every type of student. At orientation, everyone can explore the Greek's endless possibilities and choose the one that is right for them.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are campus police here everyday. Even at night, if one is in the parking lot and is scared to walk by themselves in the dark, call the campus police and they will walk you back to the dorm. They are always there if someone needs assistance.
