Southeastern provides students with the best technology, faculty, and organisations to ensure that students have every opportunity to achieve the highest level of education possible.

The students and faculty are full of hospitality. You feel right at home from the moment you arrive on campus, and every student has the chance to establish a student organization as long as you have 10 or more other students which ensures you to make more friends and gives you that sense of freedom you desire.

Southeastern is worth every penny you out into it. Plus all of the money goes to new dorms, classrooms, and the union. Plus we as students have a vote on what the money is spent on for each of the three. There is a campus wide vote for the students to decide what classes we need, what new restaurant we should have, or how to remodel the dorms.

There is only one thing say to new students. When you come to Southeastern you should remember to just have a good time because you are home from the moment you step on campus.

Southeastern is great for all students. From my experience i have not seen any form of discrimination or hostility targeted towards any one or any kind of difference, and this school offer a variety of courses to accommodate for every academic area of interest.

Southeastern Louisiana University is a home away from home for me. The professors are caring and helpful while maintaining a professional status. I am thankful I made the decision to attend this amazing university.

Attending Southeastern is one of the best decisions anyone can make. Here one will receive an great education, along with making many lifelong memories. Southeastern has changed my life in so many good ways.

The education that one will receive at Southeastern Louisiana University is unlike any other. Professors care about the students and whether or not they are learning the information. I know that when I enter the work force I will be fully prepared with the knowledge and experience I need.

Personally I was not a resident of the dorms at Southeastern University; however, many of my friends were. They often say that even in their senior year they wish they would move back. Very convenient and safe living.

The cafeteria food is really good. I do not have a meal plan, but I do often pay to eat there. I enjoy having a good home cooked meal. There are also more options in the student union, including ways to eat healthy with a Subway or a smoothie bar.

Southeastern offers many activities to students for fun. I like to take advantage of the work out classes in the Student Activities Center. Many other students also like to compete in a friendly match of intramural sports.

The best investment my family has ever made!!

Southeastern Louisiana University has a strong Lion Family. The Alumni Association often attends football games and contribute to the school in many ways. There is a place at Southeastern called Friendship Circle where there is a large oak tree which we call Friendship Oak. It was always a myth that if two people kiss on Friendship Oak, they were sure to be married.

Southeastern is great for students who do not want to get lost in the crown, students who want to stand out because of their unique talents and abilities. Southeastern is like one big family. I enjoy seeing familiar faces every day while walking to class!

Southeastern has many clubs and ways to get involved on campus. Student Government Association (SGA), Honor Societies, Clubs and Groups within majors, Campus Activities Board (CAB), and many others.

WOW! Greek Life is so much more than just Sororities and Fraternities at Southeastern, it is one big Greek family! Greek Life has impacted my life in so many positive ways. It is a way to help your school, your community, and help others in need. I would highly recommend becoming a member of a Greek Organization at Southeastern.

I feel that Southeastern is one of the safest places one could ever be. When we had someone walk buy and steal another student's cell phone, the staff was informed and immediately started warning students all around campus! That made me feel extremely safe, simply because they care.

All of my teachers so far go outside of class with one on one tuturing if needed, class group studies, but all you have to do is go to class and you will learn everything you need to know for exams

Go greek, this school offers so much more than class. They offer free gym, pool, tennis courts, sand volleyball court. Can play any sport in intramural. Great greek life

rent text books so you save money by not paying hundreds or even a thousand dollars for books

One of the best nursing schools in nation

Southeastern Louisiana University is an amazing college. It has an outstanding student-to-teacher ratio and there are tons of clubs and organizations to be a part of. The campus is laid out perfectly to help ensure punctuality and it has a great educational atmosphere.

When attending Southeastern, take advantage of the many clubs and organizations the school has to offer. Join a club and become a part of something great. Also utilize the Center for Student Excellence Center(CSE)'s free tutoring program to achieve your academic goals.

Southeastern has one of the best student-to-teacher ratios of any University and that really gives you a sense of academic security and makes you strive to do the best you can. The classes are designed to help each and every student live up to their full academic potential and set you up for success.

The dorms at Southeastern are impeccable. You have a choice of having either a shared room or your own private dorm. Either choice would be beyond exceptional. You have one shared, full, bathroom and a shared kitchenette area. The rooms are equipped with your own bed, a personal air conditioner, a study desk and chair, a dresser, and a closet with a floor length mirror. The dorm rooms are completely renovated and up to date and, conveniently, are only a 5 minute walk from the library.

Campus dining at Southeastern is remarkable. There is a huge variety of options when it comes to eating on campus. For example, we have the Cayman Cafe', serving a variety of home cooked meals from spaghetti, to tacos, the cafe has it all. It also includes a salad bar, multiple drink stations, a dessert bar, and a stir-fry grill. Also on campus we have Chick Fil A, Taco Bell, Popeye's, Burger King, Subway, and many more options. For all of the late night study sessions and early morning classes, we have two different Starbuck's locations and the campus coffe shop located in the library, Java City.

With the amount of entertainment options on campus, you can ensure that you will never be left looking for something to do. We have a campus game room, located above the book store, there are DVD rental machines housed in the Student Union, we have our own post office so that you can keep in touch with your family and friends, and the campus is conveniently located in Downtown Hammond, one of the busiest cities in Louisiana. There are also campus activities going on at all times throught the year. From our famous Gumbo YaYa, to the Strawberry Jubilee, you will always be able to keep busy and stay occupied.

Southeastern is the only University in Louisiana to participate in the Rental Textbook program. It allows you to rent out as many books as you need for each class for one flat rate of 45 dollars a class. Whether you need 12 books for one class, of just two books, the rental program allows you to save thousands of dollars in not having to purchase the books yourself. At the end of the semester, you simply return the books you have and check out the books you will need for your future classes. We also have the Pennington Student Activity Center which is a two story, state of the art, gym. Complete with an indoor track and basketball court, the activity center is completely paid for by your tuition so you have full access to it. It is a great way to help students stay in shape.

We have some of the best campus traditions there are. Every year, we put on the Gumbo YaYa, Strawberry Jubilee, Move In Mania, and so much more. Our mascot, Roomie the Lion, is another sacred tradition and we have an actual Lion that was stuffed sitting in our game room. It is said that if you rub his right paw, you will have good luck. One of the oldest traditions on campus would be Friendship Oak. Located in the center of our campus, we have one of the largest, oldest oak trees in Louisiana. It is said that if you kiss you significant other beneath the tree, you will eventually get married to that person.

Southeastern is an ammazing University and is great for any and all types of students.

We have a wide variety of Clubs and activities here on campus. If you can think of something, there is, more than likely, a club for that. We have the Student Counsil to help eliminate communication barriers between the staff and the students, we have the Circle K club, which is the higher level Key Club and they are both founded by the Rotary Club. There are intramural sports that you can join, and if it isn't being played already, you can start your own team with only ten signatures. There are a limitless number of things on campus to keep college students busy and active.

Here at Southeastern, we have over fifteen different Greek Fraternaties and Sororities giving each and every person a chance to meet new people and become a part of the Greek life. Our Fraternaties and Sororoties and very diverse and completely accepting.

The campus at Southeastern has safety towers scattered all throughout the grounds. They have an emergency call button that automatically connects you to our campus police department. All of the walkways and paths on the campus are very well lit and the campus police do constant patrols throughout the night to ensure campus safety. The safety ratings on Southeastern's campus are impeccable.

Southeastern currently has the largest Art Dept. in the state, not learning a lot isn't an option for me.

One of the cheapest four-year universities in the state.

Get involved.

SLU is great for people who prefer that a human being answers the phone when they need help from its administration.

Most teachers are dedicated and caring. Class times and lengths are perfect for learning. Parking is inadequate.

Your first semester is the most important. Set the bar as high as you can, and don't stray from it.

Do not always trust Ratemyprofessor.com
The classes are easy IF you do what is expected and study hard.

Above average. Prices vary but it is worth the money.

SO many choices. The prices are very reasonable.

Party! So many clubs on campus, events are never ending. Also, organizations schedule events outside of school, at bars, clubs, and restaurants.

For such an amazing school, tuition is extremely reasonable. Scholarships, loans, and grants are also fairly easy to obtain and can get you through all four years at SELU.

Friendship Oak.
Located in Friendship Circle, this giant oak tree is more than just a beautiful sight. Rumor has it, the person you kiss under the tree, is the person you will spend the rest of your life with. And for those whose kiss leads to forever, wedding pictures are also very popular under this tremendous tree.

Students who enjoy small classrooms with very personable teachers. Most classes are under 100 students, allowing the teacher to learn the students names.
Also great for students who want to be involved. There are so many different clubs and organizations, everyone is given the opportunity to belong.

If you want it, we have it. There is in organization for every type of person. This includes intramural sport teams and recreation. And as far as activities go, CAB and SGA host events every day of the week. Just a few weeks ago, I attended my first drive in movie. And next week, free massages in the Rec.

Greek life rocks! I am in a sorority, and my boyfriend is in a fraternity. This has opened up so many opportunities for both of us.

Campus police patrol the grounds day and night. I feel very safe walking through campus at night.

I like Southeastern a lot, it has many benefits. One benefit is the school is smaller and very homey feeling. Another benefit is that the school always has something going on, or something to do. It is a very nice school and I love going there.

Study, always go to class, and be friendly to your peers. These things will make college life at Southeastern much more enjoyable.

The academics are said to be a tad easier than most other schools. I feel this not to be true but I do realize that most people who said that came from either a large high school or a larger college. So switching to a smaller school and having more hands on teaching and 1 on 1 time makes school much easier.

The dorm life is very nice there. There are always dorm activities and your RA's are very helpful and friendly.

The food is great at Southeastern. The cafeteria is all you can eat and always a nice meal, whether it be hot or cold.

There are not to many things to do in Hammond but SELU is always hosting events from dances to video game tournaments.

I love being a Southeastern Lion! I transferred here from Kansas and it was the best decision I made for myself. My classes are small and my instructors are caring and really motivate me to learn new things. There are so many opportunities to learn outside the classroom that really making learning exciting.

Challenge yourself to explore and step outside your usual comfort zone. Get involved on campus and don't be afraid to try something new.

Classes are challenging, but in a good way. There are opportunities for undergraduate research and getting hands on experience in labs and clinics. I'm looking at enrolling in a 2 week study abroad class next summer!

I have some friends that live in the dorms. They are really nice. You can choose a roommate or be placed with a student. They also have private dorms. There are apartment style dorms for upperclassmen too.

Food is great! there are many fast food restaurants in the student union. There is a buffet restaurant in the union that was just named the top college food in the state of Louisiana. Hammond downtown has a bunch of really good restaurants and bars with fresh seafood, Cajun, Mexican, pizza, sushi. And a lot of the places have live music in the evenings.

There is always something going on somewhere on campus. There are clubs and organizations for every major, interest, and faith. Sports and tailgating. There is an athletic club on campus. The student activities association hosts events, concerts, free lunches, and competitions all year. Downtown Hammond has an active night life! Also, Hammond is less that an hour from New Orleans and just over an hour from the beach in Gulfport.

I shopped around and Southeastern ended up being one of the cheapest options. Tuition is low, I received an out of state tuition waiver since my gpa was over 2.5. There is a book rental program where you rental all your books for $45 per class. That has saved me hundreds of dollars each semester.

Classes are all Monday through Thursday. No classes on Fridays, so every weekend is a 3 day weekend! We also get a holiday break for mardi gras!

All students!

There is seriously a club or organization for any interest you could think of. Clubs are very active on campus.

I'm not in a sorority, but there are sororities and fraternities on campus.

There is a police department on campus and 911 emergency poles located in different places on campus. I feel pretty safe here.

i love slu and i recommend it to anyone who is serious about their education. i have been told by some that have transferred from lsu that it is just as good if not better with a much reasonable tuition. i am proud to be an slu lion!

come expecting to learn and prepared to work. stay focused and use the tools the school has to offer. remember that college will only be what you make of it. no one will be checking up on you to make sure that you are doing your work and making it to class. everything you need to succeed is there and available to you, it's up to you to take advantage of it.

i am a music major and so far every class i have taken has been very challenging. my teachers have pushed me to help me reach my full potential. the classes in my curriculum that are not related to music are also challenging. i do not feel in any way that my classes were too simple or useless.

i have stayed in a shared dorm room and now i am in the dorm apartments. the apartments are better. there is room for improvement in this aspect of campus life at slu but it not terrible.

plenty of food options. everyone should be able to find something they like in the student union between the cafeteria and the on-campus fast food restaurants. the cafeteria food is pretty good too.

i usually hang with my friends at a coffee shop or one of the local restaurants. we go to the movies and also to local theater and music productions. i like to go to the park and just have friends over at my dorm as well. i do not have a lot of free time as a music major, so some of my fun is interacting with the others in the music building while i am there practicing.

there are plenty of organizations and religious groups on campus that host activities throughout the semester. the school also sponsors it's own activities, especially during football season. there is always something happening.

i prolong to a professional music fraternity sigma alpha iota. i absolutely love it. there are many different greek organizations represented on campus. there should be something for anyone who is looking for that sort of thing.

i feel pretty safe on campus and i'm usually in the music building until late at night. you frequently see the security cars riding around and there are many emergency call boxes all over campus.

Everyone is very friendly. It doesn't matter if they are an instructor, student, someone in dining service, or anyone else who works there. One of my teachers took out his time to hold late night study sessions to prepare students for our difficult math tests that are taken on mymathlab.com and the study sessions WORKED.

Do not procrastinate. You can do the best you can do when you do things on time. You will be surprised at how well you have done. Once you finish your work days ahead of time you will feel great because you can finish something else early or if you have nothing else to do you can relax your mind and enjoy whatever you have to do.

The teachers are great. You should come to class whenever you have it. I learned so much that I wanted to know in my field of interest. I also learned about some things that I never thought I would learn about and they were interesting. One of these things was about how listening is what we are taught the least in school but we use it the most. Writing is what we are taught the most but we use it least.
Last year which was my senior year of high school, I struggled in college Algebra. I struggled mightily. I had a D for a long time and received worse than a D on the final. I ended up finishing the semester with an C. This semester I received an A on the final and finished the semester with an A.

Dorm life is great. Everyone is friendly there, too. They are helpful and courteous of others.

Food is great. We have so many options of places to eat during the times of day. They are also building more diners. So more options equals better. The employees are friendly. We have an all you can eat plan which includes healthy food like a salad and sandwich bar.

Just attend events such as a sports game or a play so that you become acclimated to the school. You will enjoy your time here.

We have an area around a tree called Friendship Circle and it is said if you kiss someone there you will end up marrying them.

Safety is good police stay around campus late at night and early at the day. We have a computer lab open until two in the morning an the walk back to your car or dorm room is safe for many.
