ULM is not only full of amazing professors and students, but has majors that will suit everyone. It's affordable and credible- the classes are always interesting and worth the tuition. The campus is extraordinarily beautiful and centered conveniently in the middle of the city.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early! Don't forget to fill out your fasfa. Price match your books if you're getting them from the bookstore, or better yet- use the ULM bookswap facebook page. Take advantage of the library and staff, everyone is kind and willing to help. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Join clubs- or even better, start one.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It really depends on which classes, major, or teacher you choose. I had a biology class that was really easy, but then turned around and had a lab that was difficult. It varies, but overall it will challenge you!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Personally, I love the dorms. Keep in mind that they are dorm rooms when you create your expectations. The best thing is that the students are friendly, my random roommate was wonderful, and the campus is so well planned and central that you can walk to anything you need. They've got a Starbucks on campus as well as a center with different food places, like Subway and Chick-Fil-A.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The only reason I rated this lower was because of the hours of the cafeteria and SUB. It seems like every time I turned around they were closed for a holiday or closed early (they close every Friday at 2!) I'm fortunate enough to live close to Monroe, so during spring break and three-day weekends, I can go home and eat with my parents, so it wasn't so bad for me, mostly just inconvenient.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I love to hang out with my friends, we watch movies in the dorm and get Starbucks. We love to go kayaking on the river, which is always a good work out but also fun and relaxing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I feel like, for the affordable tuition price, the campus is beautiful and the courses are good. I feel like I'm being prepared for graduate school, and all of my professors really seemed like they wanted to help me get a good education and a prepare me for a job. I just wish the food was a bit better, and maybe a better internet connection in the dorm rooms.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
You have to go by Enoch's on a Tuesday. Grab a burger buddy and get BOGO (buy one get one free) on their burgers. They've got amazing food and it's a rite of passage for freshman (as long as you're over 18- they do check ID's!)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Honors kids- I'm an honor's student and the program is awesome. It's still fairly new, so every incoming class has a huge impact on how we work and what we do and stand for.
We're also awesome for anyone who likes water skiing. We've won the state championship for about three years now, I think.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are clubs for any and every interest. We have a great St. Jude's group that forms teams to raise money for the cause, and a Harry Potter club dedicated to volunteer work and charity. Overall, I think there are over 300 student recognized organizations.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I'm not personally involved with a fraternity or sorority, but I have plenty of friends who are and I know they love it. There are fraternities and sororities for every personality and interest, and I know a couple of chapters that were started within the last few years by students, so it's constantly growing.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are campus police parked and walking around all the time, as well as streetlights and emergency centers place throughout campus. If you're feeling unsafe, you can call campus police to walk with you back to your dorm. The officers are always super friendly and helpful, and they're dedicated to helping the students stay safe. If you're still feeling scared, try taking one of the self defense classes ULM offers. I took one last semester and it was amazing!
