I love LSCPA! This is my second time around going to college and everyone is so loving and caring. I am an honor student my first semester and i am just ecstatic! I am a mother of two toddler boys and its been pretty wacky being a full-time student and full-time mom but i have this in the bag and claiming God will lead me into the heavens of success!

This school is small and when your on campus the professors know almost everyone on campus. The athletic program is small they only have two sports teams but they are competitive. If you are looking for somewhere to go that is affordable and you will get a good education I would recommend Lamar State College - Port Arthur.
