REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAt Xavier professors care, they are always available to you. Xavier being a small school your classes are a lot smaller and you get the chance to interact with your professors and really get an understanding of what they are teaching. Also when you don't understand professor's make sure that they do whatever is necessary for you to understand the material. All professor's offer office hours and are usually in their offices before and after those hours. At Xavier you always have a chance to learn no matter what it takes or how long it takes for you to understand the material.
Antoinette from Washington, DC
I didn't know what to expect when I started school at Xavier. In my first year experience i can truly say i learned a lot. I learned a lot educationally and personally. I learned a lot from the teachers and i also learned from the students that i shared my first year college experience with.
Ebonee' from California
Xavier University is made for those students who want a education. The library and all the staff give you the tools you need to succeed. Nothing is impossible here. You can never feel alone when you are in class or out studying with friends.
Dehzcha from Lithonia, GA
As one of the best schools in the world with pharmacy, I plan on learning a variety of things at Xavier University of Louisiana. The school has so much to offer and lots of experiences that will enhance my well-being in life. During my visitation, the atmosphere was very welcoming and the learning environment seems like everything will work out for the best.
Kashmia from Baton Rouge, LA
Xavier is a wonderful university for those who are very interested in learning. The work load isn't too much but it also isn't a walk in the park either. At xavier they give you the right amount of work to help your mind.
Stephanie
The quality and the quantity of the education that Xavier have to offer is amazing. Comparing to the college that a couple of my high school friends have elected to go to. They was surprise that Xavier offers free tutoring. They have a program called SAS and its for students who didn't do all that well on the SAT or ACT and they help you along the way. They will get you extra tutoring if needed. The professors at Xavier have an open office policy so if you ever need any extra help you just have to go seek them. The work is extremely hard but they are preparing you for your future whether after graduation you will be enrolling in graduate school or jump right into the work force. Another thing at Xavier is the professors now your name, you are not a number.
Kia from Lithia Springs, GA
I learned so much in every class. At first I thought it was overwhelming. There are tutoring centers and you can go see professors during office hours. They are all there to help because believe me, this school isn't easy. But it is definitely worth the struggle.
Current Xavier University Student
My professors are very explanatory in what they teach. Many professors bring in visual aids and take time to draw diagrams and pictures on the boards. Overall, I do learn a lot because of the efficiency of the professors and the school. They do not play. If you do not plan to take the classes seriously, do not attend because they definitely make you work for your grades.
Tiffany from Belle Chasse, LA
xula is a small school, which makes it easy for them to push students and challenge them individually. there are numerous resources available to help students do well like study centres, tutoring centres, si sessions, and it's really easy to get to know your professors and attend office hours. it is hard not to be successful here.
delphine from toronto, on
Xavier has a great science program for those interested in majoring pharmacy or bio med. They have strict curriculum on chemistry and biology classes but it is to prepare you for graduated college. For example in chemistry lab, they give you a basic guideline for chemistry procedures.
