Review of Northwestern State University of Louisiana

from Brentwood, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

A good school with a wide range of majors. Northwestern has a large, beautiful campus that is well looked after. Has a very active student body that will always be planning events for students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be prepared to create your own fun, since Northwestern is in a small college town. Join an organization, they will help you get involved, meets some new people, and stave off the boredom mentioned above. Do not forget to study, college life is awesome and extremely free, but do not forget that your going to college for an education.

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

I attend the Scholars honors program, so if you are looking for a challenging academic program, this is the one for you. It contains some of the greatest professors around, and with its small class setting you will not have to worry about being just another face.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

As a Resident Advisor, i can assure you that Northwestern has some of the best dorms in the state. There are four different buildings to choose from, and the rooms are large compared to other dorms. Housing is also very cooperative.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are multiple places to eat on campus, such as Vic's, which is a small cafeteria. There is also the Grill, which contains burgers and chicken strips. There is also Iberville, which is the largest cafeteria, which allows you to eat as much as you like.

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

You will quickly make friends, so hanging out with them is always an option. Besides that there are multiple organizations on campus always holding student events. You can also join Greek life, which Northwestern has many different Greek organizations to choose from. If you wish to leave campus there is front street which has a nice small town feel to it, great for dates :). Northwestern is also only an hour away from either, Alexandria or Shreveport.
