Hayden - 10/20/2024

My visit at LeTourneau University was amazing and I can't wait to start in the Fall 2025. The campus is really nice and the people, students and faculty, were all friendly and helpful. I was able to meet with the head professor of the computer science department as well as many others. I walked away knowing that LeTourneau is definitely the college for me.

Noah - 05/29/2023

Letourneau University is one of the best Christian schools in the country, and certainly the best Christian polytechnic university. They have extensive programs to help students and the staff there are excellent. Their programs and classes are very effective and educate well.

Briahnna - 07/15/2022

I love LeTourneau. The first thing that really swayed me to choose LETU was the community. I also really enjoy the Christ-centered learning environment that the school has to offer. All of the professors that I have had start the class with a devotional, reading of the word, or a Christian song that really helps one think and center their minds around the Lord. I have met some of my best friends at LETU who have been with me through ups and downs. I am very thankful for the Lord guiding me to LETU and that this school has blessed me with.

Melissa - 05/07/2020

It's an a-ok looking school when you first look at it but after digging into more research about LeTourneau University they do a lot of stuff for the college attenders and for the community itself. It gave me a lot of helpings, guides, and ideas of the career of my choice. Thanks, LeTourneau!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    To begin, this is not the first University that I have attended. It is the third, and I truly appreciate and enjoy the fact that it is a Christian, Bilble based, instituion. I thouroghly enjoy the GAPS program, and wish that I had known about it a lot sooner. I would probably have two bachelors degrees by now and a masters. Everyone has been really understanding and positive. They truly want to see people achieve the goal, of the education that they desire. Not all schools are like that. Some Universities strive to make classes so difficult, that there is no way that you can pass the course by only taking it once. They want you to have to repeat courses, in order to increase school revenue.
