SELENA - 10/12/2023

Greetings, While attending this college as a dual enrolled student it gave men insight to what true college is really all about. Navigating my way around the college is not hard, because there is other students are nice and friendly who can help you get to where you need to be. The professors are really easy to work with About 76 % of students agree the professors put a lot of effort into teaching their classes. And 65% of students agrees that its easy to get the classes they want. The other 70% of students agrees the workload is easy to manage. Meeting all the different students from different parts of the world gives anyone a chance to intertwine the different cultures in the world. At times I know I was the youngest in my classes which is helping mem come more out of my shell. I am looking forward to attending this college as a full time student to study general marketing. The only negative thing I would have to say is when it rains hope you have an umbrella, rubber boots or a rain jacket, because you will defiantly get wet.

Michelle - 07/23/2023

Louisiana State University-Alexandria is an amazing school and I would certainly encourage people to go there! The professors always help me out and explain things to me in great detail when I had questions. I love the atmosphere on campus, and the students have been outgoing.

katelyn - 10/28/2019

Louisiana State University-Alexandria is a small campus for those people who do not want to leave home but that also want to be close to everyone on campus. To me, I would rather go to school on a small campus like LSUA and get to know my classmates as well as the professors to know who I am and not think or look at me as a number but actually care about me passing,

Dakota - 06/04/2019

I just started, but everyone there is super nice and friendly. They really care about their students which is a good change of pace. The faculty tries to help you as much as possible and even helped me know which books I needed so I didn’t have to buy them at the school for outrageous prices! They have people call and check on you to see if you are transitioning well. I also quite enjoy the fact that they care so much about their students that they offer free counseling and help to anyone who needs it. I may be an online student, but they do everything they must to make everything a good experience.

    If I could go back and talk to my high scool self there would be quite a few things I would share.

Also I would strongly focus on sharing the importance of keeping your education first. After all, knowledge can not be lost but many things in high school can be. Lastly, I woud emphasize the importance of using high school as a growing experience. This is a place where weaknesses and strengths can be revealed both socially and educationally.
