Review of Southeastern Louisiana University

from Baton Rouge, LA

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Attending Southeastern is one of the best decisions anyone can make. Here one will receive an great education, along with making many lifelong memories. Southeastern has changed my life in so many good ways.

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

The education that one will receive at Southeastern Louisiana University is unlike any other. Professors care about the students and whether or not they are learning the information. I know that when I enter the work force I will be fully prepared with the knowledge and experience I need.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Personally I was not a resident of the dorms at Southeastern University; however, many of my friends were. They often say that even in their senior year they wish they would move back. Very convenient and safe living.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria food is really good. I do not have a meal plan, but I do often pay to eat there. I enjoy having a good home cooked meal. There are also more options in the student union, including ways to eat healthy with a Subway or a smoothie bar.

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

Southeastern offers many activities to students for fun. I like to take advantage of the work out classes in the Student Activities Center. Many other students also like to compete in a friendly match of intramural sports.

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

The best investment my family has ever made!!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Southeastern Louisiana University has a strong Lion Family. The Alumni Association often attends football games and contribute to the school in many ways. There is a place at Southeastern called Friendship Circle where there is a large oak tree which we call Friendship Oak. It was always a myth that if two people kiss on Friendship Oak, they were sure to be married.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Southeastern is great for students who do not want to get lost in the crown, students who want to stand out because of their unique talents and abilities. Southeastern is like one big family. I enjoy seeing familiar faces every day while walking to class!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Southeastern has many clubs and ways to get involved on campus. Student Government Association (SGA), Honor Societies, Clubs and Groups within majors, Campus Activities Board (CAB), and many others.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

WOW! Greek Life is so much more than just Sororities and Fraternities at Southeastern, it is one big Greek family! Greek Life has impacted my life in so many positive ways. It is a way to help your school, your community, and help others in need. I would highly recommend becoming a member of a Greek Organization at Southeastern.

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

I feel that Southeastern is one of the safest places one could ever be. When we had someone walk buy and steal another student's cell phone, the staff was informed and immediately started warning students all around campus! That made me feel extremely safe, simply because they care.
