REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingRarely I have had classes where I felt the relation between professor and class would lack.
Jonathan from Brusly, LA
The classes are very interesting. Many of the professors will expect more out of you only to make you a better student. the teachers will help you out alot if you participate and ask.
Amber from Lafayette, LA
I absolutely love getting up for class, even those dreaded 8 o'clocks. I did change my major after my very first semester, and now that I am in a program that I love the work comes so easily. It does not feel like work to me most of the time. The teachers are helpful and supportive and the methods are thorough. I truly have no complaints when it comes to the educators in my college.
TaLysha from New Orleans, LA
A ten out of ten. There is plenty of diversity as well as clubs and organizations. Ninety percent of the classes do not exceed forty and the professors love to interact with and get to know us by name. Attending the University of Louisiana-Lafayette is the utmost best decision I have and will ever make.
Kayla from Baton Rouge, LA
ull is a very calm campus. instead of focusing attention on sports, we focus on school and getting a degree. i would not rather go anywhere else.
Garth from New Iberia, LA
As I am progressing further and further into my major I find I am learning a lot more. My professors challenge me to look into topics at a greater depth.
Emily
The campus is very clean and I love the atmosphere. The dorms are much more spacious and comfy than many other colleges I have been to. I will defiantly be attending this school.
Ryan from Trout, LA
This is a great school, I love it here. Great learning opportunities for all types of students. This school also has a good atmosphere.
Nia from Houston, TX
The teachers can either underestimate the amount their students can learn or overestimate what their students already know. Many teachers assume that their students cannot understand anything but the few that do not really rely on other teachers already having explained what you are supposed to be learning.
Christine from Lafayette, LA
There are many places to eat at walking distance to eat at. Grab a friend anf go to Burger King, McDonald, taco bell, subway or Zeus. ULL also have a coffee shops, food courts and buffet cafeteria with many things to choose from.
