Review of Nicholls State University

from Napoleonville, LA

Describe your college in three sentences.

nicholls is a terrific school for art students. i am one, and i love how diverse and welcoming our campus is; as i've remarked to a friend from another state, you know your classmates are awesome when all you have to do is say the game. and half the students start laughing and the other half moans.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

i suggest applying for classes as early as possible. some classes that are necessary for graduation fill up very quickly. i know a few art students who needed one more class to graduate, but they kept waiting to apply, and found that it was full already.

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

i'd say that nicholls is about 3.5 stars on the academic rigor scale. i don't find it hard to get a's and b's, but you won't be able to get straight a's without major studying. most teachers here definitely grade so a c truly is average.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

they have a huge variety of foods- ranging from pizza to custom-made foods like omlettes that you can select what you want in them. they have a different ethnic food every day as well.

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

definitely join in some of the fun campus activities like shark night and zombies vs. ninjas. there's always something happening, and the student council is good about keeping things active and fun.

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

nicholls is not that bad as far as tuition goes. the dorms are pretty expensive, but other than that, the price is really good.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

there is a bar in the cafeteria. it does serve alcohol, but it also cards.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

great for art students definitely. i hear it's great for nursing and culinary students as well, and we have several renowned geneticists and scientists working on campus.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there is literally a club for everything. it's pretty amazing. and most clubs are very, very involved.

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

the campus is regularly patrolled by police officers, there is a police station on campus (right by the apartments), and there is a strict no-drug no-smoke policy on campus. there are call boxes on the sidewalks everywhere.
