Review of Northwestern State University of Louisiana
from Jarreau, LA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
I'm learning more than I could ever imagine I would, especially with my budget. With the Scholars' program here, it really is amazing I found such a gem in a crumbling education system. The Scholars' programs is the honors program of Louisiana. There's nothing like it anywhere else. You pay the regular NSU tuition and receive an education that, I find, is more extensive and challenging than any other program in Louisiana.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
NSU is wonderful and the Scholar's program is equally amazing if not more so. It's almost too good to be true. Your fellow Scholars' become family and your professors are the matriarchs. You feel well taken care of and there's never a time you should ever feel alone. We have manage to have endless fun without it conflicting with our educational performance. And trust me, we do have our fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Again, concentrating on the Scholars' program, it truly is a bang for your buck. If you're looking for a school that won't send you and your parents to bankruptcy and still want to have a five-star education, the Scholar's program is perfect. All of the Scholars' professors have doctorates in their specified subjects. The classes are advanced and never fail to challenge you.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The Scholars' program isn't for everyone but NSU might be. So, if you try out the program and it's too much for you to handle or it's just not what you're looking for, try regular NSU. Those of you who do want a challenge and are determined, the professors and upperclassmen are here to help you. There's Scholars' study groups and tutoring and never be afraid to ask your professor.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Really, the Scholars' College is for the weird and the intelligent. We tend to come from the group of high schoolers that never really melded into the common scene. This doesn't mean we're limited to the 'rejects'. We have a diverse student body that includes athletes, musicians, thespians, artists, chemists, and anything else you can think of. It never hurts to try us out.
