Peyton's Review

Review of McNeese State University

from Jennings, LA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Some departments are a little unorganized. Some professors are very indirect and unhelpful. In its entirety, though, the school is a fine institution in a good location.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure to call or visit the campus for any questions because emailing is about as indirect of a response that you will receive. If you wish to aquire information the employees in the enrollment office can and will make any materials necessary available to you.

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

Depending on your major the amount of rigor will either be very strenuous or relatively relaxed, as is the case with most institutions.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most of the time your roommate profiles are right on point in terms of getting along with who you're going to be living with for the next five months. The dorms aren't bad to live in if you can get into Bel Gardens, Sallier, or the courtyard suites. Do not go for Colette just because it is cheap, you will regret it.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The New Ranch is pretty great. The cafeteria offers a wide variety of foods in a buffet style set-up. If you do not have a meal plan, and even if you do, the other food booths are really good for a quick meal.

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

Lake Charles is a culturally diverse city so there are many things to do for fun such as karaoke, listening to local bands, delicious variety of foods, water sports on the lake, and beach-side hangouts.
