Review of University of Louisiana at Lafayette

from Baton Rouge, LA

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My advice for all incoming students is to get to know your professors because they want to know you and be there for you. Join organizations and get to know other students who share your pride. Be a proud RAGIN' CAJUN !

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

ULL is definitely noted for its world-class scholars and excellent research. For example Dr. Quincy Hilliard ( Composer at UL Lafayette ) has written music for the Olympic Games! Our professors are outstanding.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There is always emphasis on always someone to talk to, study with, borrow something from, or just hang out with in our dorms. Occasionally our RA's sponsor events where we play games, watch movies, eat, and enjoy each others company

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is great for the most part. A few tips for the future, 1- Don't blow through you declining balance ( Called DB and is used as money for food in various location around campus ) the first week use it moderately. 2- ALWAYS eat in the cafe Mondays for lunch, the red beans and rice is to die for. 3- ALWAYS stop by the cafe just to see whats on the menu, they may surprise you and have your favorite ( red beans.. or tacos ). 4- EAT the breakfast, the omelets are the bomb and a hearty breakfast is a great way to start your day. 5- try Zeus ( located by Legacy Apartments ) the food is great even if you don't know what some of it is, trust me.

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

There is always something to do on campus. Whether its something just bin your dorm, a football game (my favorite ), basketball game, any game really, a club meeting, forums, movie showings, fashion shows. stand -up comedy, karaoke nights, pancakes at midnight, raves in the library ( usually during exam week ) or bumping into your friends ( or a really cute guy ) in the Cafe ( what we students call the dining area ) trust me ULL is a blast !

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

Have I mentioned that ULL is super affordable !

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have plenty unusual traditions such as rave in the library, free pancakes at midnight, and chow-down at ten PM.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

UL Lafayette is great for every type of student.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have hundred of clubs, PLEASE do NOT get to ULL and do nothing. There is SOUL Camp, SOS staff, RHA, club sports ANYTHING. There is something for EVERYONE, more than one something. Make the most of your experience.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are twenty-one Greek organizations on our campus. Plenty to choose from and find one that's just for you. You could be a Tri Delta, a Zeta Phi Beta an, Alpha Kappa Alpha, or may be you're a guy and would like to join Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, or even Omega Psi Phi. Its your decision.

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

There are security guards desk workers and RA's in our dorms 24/7. Police officers patrol outside and sometimes inside our dorms every night. If you feel threatened tell someone. If you See Something Say Something. Its also our responsibility to keep ourselves safe.
