Never pay for a textbook unless its necessary! Wait until your first day of class to determine if your going to need the textbook for class. Renting/Buying anything for the campus bookstore is extremely expensive so become best friends with Chegg or find student who previously bought they book and is selling it cheap.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
No course is really too hard but the work loads can be a bit heavy depending on the teacher and the pace of the class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are trash drops on each floor of the residence halls so you don't have to go out to the dumpster each time you have trash. There is always an event in Zeringue Hall, from movie nights and game nights to cup cake decorating and Ice cream making. The Resident Assistants are very nice and helpful.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Steak night in the cafe is always amazing! If you ever have any early classes and have a break in between them I highly suggest you get breakfast in the cafe, their omelette is the best. Fried chicken Wednesdays and Fish Fridays are also delicious.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Nicholls is one of the few colleges that have a homecoming dance during homecoming week but its not a traditional homecoming dance its just a big party.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is always an event held by one of the many campus clubs. During my first semester there was free Camel riding outside of Peltier Hall. There was mechanical bull riding outside of the Student union, and also Pie a football player for Homecoming week. There is always something going on campus which is one thing I love about Nicholls.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus police patrol very often, and can help you almost anything! We have fire drills in both residence halls and during classes. Be careful when walking across the cross walks because not all students follow the speed limit.
Amazing people. Amazing place. Amazing education.
