My opinion on Xavier is how big the campus is and the students have eoungh space for the students and walk and study

Manaii - 12/24/2023

I love my school! I am biased mostly because my major tract is fairly new so we are geared with plenty of attention and support, but so is every department. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone. I hope everyone who researches this school really takes the time to learn its history and mission.

jasmine - 07/13/2023

Xavier University of Louisiana values building bonds that will last a life time.

Chhaya - 06/14/2023

I adore my school, while I attribute my success and enjoyment to both the relative ease of my major to the majority of my peers and my high school having done an excellent job of preparing me for the collegiate workload, I find fewer problems with the university than the average student. I feel that I've really found myself at Xavier. From the freedom I am given in schedule selection, to the support system I've found in faculty and other students, I feel that Xavier has helped me to carve out an experience that is uniquely mine in a way I would never want to give up.

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

    The worst part about the school is its location. Xavier is basically in middle of downtown New Orleans. At first it's fun because there's so much to do in this great city. After a while though the city almost becomes annoying. With living in a big city like New Orleans you get big city problems. There's heavy traffic all the time and constant construction everywhere, even on campus. It's not so bad, and for others, Xavier may sound like paradise but for a freshman trying to get used to being independent; there are alot of distractions.

  6. Describe the students at your school.

    When I meet new classmates they tend to stick to their "clicks" that they've been in since we began school. As the semester progresses my classmates and I begin to bond over common interests (i.e. how bad we thought our last organic chemistry exam was). Then we begin to share notes and form study groups. So overall, it is very easy to relate and socialize with my classmates.
