Blake from Mermentau, LA
Southeastern Louisiana University is a home away from home for me. The professors are caring and helpful while maintaining a professional status. I am thankful I made the decision to attend this amazing university.
Heather from Baton Rouge, LA
All of my teachers so far go outside of class with one on one tuturing if needed, class group studies, but all you have to do is go to class and you will learn everything you need to know for exams
william from Saint Amant, LA
Southeastern Louisiana University is an amazing college. It has an outstanding student-to-teacher ratio and there are tons of clubs and organizations to be a part of. The campus is laid out perfectly to help ensure punctuality and it has a great educational atmosphere.
Jessica from Ponchatoula, LA
Southeastern currently has the largest Art Dept. in the state, not learning a lot isn't an option for me.
Madeline from Pearl River, LA
Most teachers are dedicated and caring. Class times and lengths are perfect for learning. Parking is inadequate.
Victoria from Hammond, LA
I like Southeastern a lot, it has many benefits. One benefit is the school is smaller and very homey feeling. Another benefit is that the school always has something going on, or something to do. It is a very nice school and I love going there.
Jacob from Denham Springs, LA
I love being a Southeastern Lion! I transferred here from Kansas and it was the best decision I made for myself. My classes are small and my instructors are caring and really motivate me to learn new things. There are so many opportunities to learn outside the classroom that really making learning exciting.
Ashlee from Hammond, LA
i love slu and i recommend it to anyone who is serious about their education. i have been told by some that have transferred from lsu that it is just as good if not better with a much reasonable tuition. i am proud to be an slu lion!
cheyenne from slidell, la
Everyone is very friendly. It doesn't matter if they are an instructor, student, someone in dining service, or anyone else who works there. One of my teachers took out his time to hold late night study sessions to prepare students for our difficult math tests that are taken on mymathlab.com and the study sessions WORKED.
