Admissions

Anyone who is considering McNeese, you have found a place that you wouldn't call school, but you would call home. McNeese has the small town feel in the city world. Most students and teachers get to know one another because of the low student to teacher ratio, and also because the teachers are so nice, helpful, and personal. Also, get involved on campus. It is a great way to meet people and make lifetime friends.

The professors may seem intimidating at the beginning of the year, but they are only trying to get rid of the students who will not take the course seriously. That being said, this is college. And while most professors are more than willing to help you out, you will not be spoon fed the answers. 1) READ THE BOOK, you have to buy/rent it for a reason. And I would recommend renting your books. Most of them you will not need after the course, so Textbook Rental has great deals. 2) GO TO CLASS. Not only will going to class guarantee that you are familiar, and perhaps understand, the current chapter, the professor will be able to see your face and realize you are serious about the class. THAT being said, try to become familiar with your teachers and make a good impression (not texting, loudly talking in class). Professors are more willing to help someone that they know who is genuinely trying in their class. 3)ASK FOR HELP. If you are having trouble with anything, find out the professor's office hours, and swing on by. They give you their office hours for a reason. They will help you, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK. 4) STUDY. STUDY. STUDY. Make use of the library, and try to read a chapter, or few pages every night. This is college, and the biggest component is studying. Being over prepared for a class will not hurt you. Better safe than sorry.

It is important to schedule classes around times that you will be able to attend regularly and on time. If youre not a morning person, then schedule classes in the afternoon. Its ok to have gaps in between classes, and your advisors are always willing to listen to you in case you have any questions about the school . Dont be afraid to ask questions.

I recommend going to ratemyprofessor.com and asking older students about professors before registering. Getting the best teacher available will help greatly

This is a great college for anyone. The professors are very friendly as well as the students. Classes are challenging but nothing that a new or old college student cannot handle.

Some good tips for striving to be the best student you can be are very helpful. One great tip to keep in mind is learn to adjust to campus life. There is no one watching you and telling you how to study or live. This is a very new thing for many students, and it can either enhance or ruin some.

Take it slow but have a goal.

go greek! join a fraternity or a sorority.
stay involved on campus. you'll always have friends and something to do.

Make sure to call or visit the campus for any questions because emailing is about as indirect of a response that you will receive. If you wish to aquire information the employees in the enrollment office can and will make any materials necessary available to you.
