What Students Are Saying
A ten out of ten. There is plenty of diversity as well as clubs and organizations. Ninety percent of the classes do not exceed forty and the professors love to interact with and get to know us by name. Attending the University of Louisiana-Lafayette is the utmost best decision I have and will ever make.
Kayla from Baton Rouge, LA
ull is a very calm campus. instead of focusing attention on sports, we focus on school and getting a degree. i would not rather go anywhere else.
Garth from New Iberia, LA
The campus is very clean and I love the atmosphere. The dorms are much more spacious and comfy than many other colleges I have been to. I will defiantly be attending this school.
