Review of Southern University and A & M College

from Leesville, LA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Southern University is outstanding. Its academic history an current academic status is one of the best in America for HBCUs. Also the new renovation to the campus is very welcoming to the oncoming freshmen.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Stay involved and study. These are the two things that will keep you on a positive note. By being involved many opportunities may open for you and also by studying your education will come easier.

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

Southern University is the only historically black college or university (HBCU) to have different branches throughout a state. By branching out, it has become one the most diverse HBCUs in America.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are great. Not too big and not too small. The renovations being made to the dorms are even better.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Just like a creole home, Southern offers wonderful food from the Cajun perspective.

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

Stay involved. There are many clubs and auxiliaries to join or try out for. Meet people and explore the wonderful city of Baton Rouge.

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

Scholarship opportunities vary greatly at SU! For each major there are either generous scholarships or grand internships! Take advantage of any money that is being GIVEN to you! A free education is way better than no education!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Southern is big on music and sports! If you are a singer then Southern is your college. If you are a very artistic person then Southern is your college! If you play any sport and want to make a family bond with a District A team then Southern is your college! And especially if you love to play music or dance to it in any kind of way then SOUTHERN IS DEFINITELY YOUR COLLEGE!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek life is fun but serious on campus. The key to enjoying greek life at Southern is RESPECT. If you give it, then you will get it. Simple as that.

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

Campus safety is pretty tight. Campus police rides around in their cars routinely throughout the day and night. You will feel very safe.
