Lillian - 08/31/2020

During my time at Louisiana College, I have overall enjoyed my experience. Of course, there is always an area for improvement, but I would not have wanted to attend any other institution. Louisiana College has become my home away from home these past few years.

ZAVIER - 02/18/2020

I find Louisiana College to be a beautiful, well-maintained college campus located right outside of Alexandria, LA. The college is sort of small and its located in a suburban area and consists of a close-knit family friendly group of students and staff that makes you feel welcomed, valued and appreciated, which works perfect for my life as a 1st year college student. As a visitor, another attribute that I’d learned that Louisiana College offers their students and that’s Chapel services. You will earn college semester credits for attending convocation and that’s very important to me, especially, since I’m a Christian and my life is centered on Christ and more importantly, as a student living away from home for the first time in my life, I would like have a spiritual space and place to turn to, if I ever felt any type of stressors. I’m a football athlete student, who will be graduating from high school this coming May 22, 2020, and after conducting my extensive research on colleges and universities that has my major, which is Criminology as well as extracurricular activities or intramural sports, which are football and/or wrestling. In addition to my major, another reason I selected this college over other universities, simply, because it’s much more affordable than most of my “in state” universities in the State of Georgia, where I currently reside. Also, as an athlete student, most D3 or NAIA schools are private and tend to be very expensive but this college works for my budget and my mom’s budget. Thank You. Amen.

Mckenna - 10/28/2018

Louisiana college is a great school. Immediately, when I walked inside the school I felt like I was at home. It is a very christian environment which is a huge part of my life. The professors seem very involved with the students to help one on one. This school I know will give me the exact needs for me to got into nursing.

Jodie - 08/01/2018

The college overall is very constricting. It almost feels like students are not allowed to be adults and make their own choices when it comes to what we choose to do outside of school on our free time. other sports also don't get really much shine due to football being the main focus and a lot of teachers focusing on what the football players need instead if what all the students need.

Louisiana College FAQS

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

    When I was a senior in high school, I knew that I wanted to go to The Ohio State University and major in Medical Technology. I was a straight A student, graduated in the top 10 of my class, and received a 29 on my ACT. Everything came so easily for me and I was accustomed to achieving good results with little effort. I was a teenager; I knew everything. I was invincible...until I wasn't. At Ohio State: Obligations - Full-time student Significant obstacles in hindsight - None Effort Exerted - Little Results - Failed. Dropped out after two quarters. Now: Obligations - Full-time student, Full-time employee, complete self-sufficiency. Obstacles - The death of my stepfather in a plane crash two weeks before I started school again. Effort Exerted - Immense Results - Will graduate in the spring. Current GPA: 3.72 Advice to Little Brittany: You are not invincible, and life is not easy. You have to work for everything, and you have to work as hard as you possibly can. Rise above expectations and be strong. Look at the big picture. You have it easy right now, take advantage of that. Be thankful, and don't take anything for granted.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The fact that we are required to attend 10 chapels per semester. Those chapel services are not even that good. The least they could do is make them better. The cafeteria is ridiculously horrible.

  4. What's unique about your campus?

    The best thing about LC would be the connection to God. Louisiana College is a Christian school, and they practice Christian values. Another thing that is so wonderful about the campus is that people know you by name, not by your student ID number. That is an amazing feeling when you are trying to make that difficult transition from high school. All your professors know your name, and will even speak to you when they see you in the hallway, or out and about. It makes you feel as though you are not alone in the new college experience.

  8. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about my school is that is that most of the people claim that they are Christians then turn around and go to bars on the weekends. I thought I was surrounding myself with Godly people by choosing a private Baptist college, but I was wrong. The people here just lie to your face. I'd probably be better off at a regular college that didn't cost a ton of money.
