Categories Comments Great for these types of students Medical field
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of the study/tutor lab. The tutors are very useful and the models come in handy. I appreciate having the tutor lab because other colleges do not have that and therefore they cannot review the material on the models.
Am enjoying being here The students that attend here are very friendly, and you make friends easily with in the classes.
Am learning a lot People always say Delgado was easy........WRONGG! Its very tough and challenging but if you put the time into studying, you walk out the class with the grade you deserve and learn alot of information!

Categories Comments Campus Safety They have 911 call buttons all around campus, if that says anything. I haven't had a problem myself though, nor have I heard any complaints.
Bang for the buck It's a really cheap school, especially if you're paying out of pocket.
What to do for fun Check out New Orleans and the French Quarter
Food and Dining Lots of good dining close by.
Dorm Life I don't like in a dorm
Tips for prospective students Before you go to the school, make sure you have every document you need or they'll make you come back multiple times.
In three sentences I haven't taken any classes, only online. The experiences that I had going to the school were horrible, I could never get straight answers on anything.

Tips for prospective students Park in the yellow lines only; they love giving tickets. Come early, but not too early before... nevermind just walk because you will never get a parking spot.
Did enjoy being here I wouldn't say I enjoyed being there. The parking was horrendous and the City Park location was the worst. I still have a bad taste from my freshman year. The staff gave me the run around. Delgado, in my opinion was just okay.
Did learn a lot I attended both Westbank and City Park locations. Some of the teachers are really great, some should never teach. The classes are NOT that easy. You will study and study hard to pass most classes.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Delgado is one of the safest schools around. There are emergency pedestals located throughout the campus, and security guards regularly patrol. The campus is generally well lighted. Of course, common sense such as staying in a well-lit, high traffic area can help personal safety in any setting. I was waiting for a friend one weekend and the campus was mostly empty, and two separate guards offered to let me in the locked building or wait with me -- in the daylight!
Great for these types of students Delgado is great for evening / weekend students, distance learners, transfer students, and those seeking a technical degree.
What to do for fun There are many many festivals throughout the year, as well as a lot of events of campus for daytime students. Evening students are pretty limited as far as on campus events, but New Orleans has plenty of free or cheap entertainment. There are a lot of great volunteer opportunities that are both fun and useful at http://www.handsonneworleans.org/
Food and Dining The City Park campus has a surprising number of places to get food for its size. There are many places to eat within walking distance, and more if you have a car or bike. Several water fountains were broken all semester Spring 2012, which bumps this category down a full star.
Dorm Life Delgado hasn't had dorms since Katrina to my knowledge.
Academic Rigor The instructors try to make it possible to make the grade you want or need, but those who think that it's going to be like High School Sr. are sorely mistaken. You truly need to put in 2-6 hours per class per week if an A is your goal. Tutoring is included in tuition, and I've heard excellent things about it, so utilize it if you're behind or if the material isn't clicking.
Tips for prospective students Apply early and check with the Answer Center a few weeks before the semester starts. Many people sell text books on Facebook or through posted messages, but I have had several classes with new texts or where the book was not required. Wait until you get your syllabus before spending any money. Exchange numbers / emails with at least 2 people in each class... it will almost definitely come in handy at some point, and it's a great way to meet people.
In three sentences Delgado is an excellent place to take extracurricular and gen. ed. courses, those who plan to go into nursing, and those interested in a 2+2 transfer degree. The faculty is well qualified and the instruction is great. Administration needs more staff / resources.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Delgado is a very safe environment. The campus police are all very friendly, proactive, and informative. The school sends emails about any crime in the area.
Clubs and Activities There are so many clubs you can join, and they are all very active in the community. The people are also very friendly. There is anything and everything from sport teams to book clubs.
Great for these types of students Delgado is a great place for students who are not ready for a 4 year university because the classes are smaller and the the professors will give you the attention you need. The education is affordable and great.
Bang for the buck The most common expense for students are text books. The bookstore is reasonable and they always sell you the used books first. But if its too pricey there is a chimes right across the street.
What to do for fun They have pep rallies, sports events, and a mini crawfish festival every year. There is the gym and a workout room. You can also hang out in the student life center!
Food and Dining Delgado community college's main campus is located near city park. You can catch the street car at the end of canal and city park and ride down to mid city where there is cafe Minh, brocatos, el ranchero, toupes, and many more, just minutes away from the college.
Dorm Life There aren't any dorms at delgado.
Academic Rigor The classes are not hard, but they can be challenging. If you are having trouble, most of your professors will help you if you ask.
In three sentences Delgado is a 5 out of 5. The staff are friendly and informative. There is always a quiet place for you to study.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I always see multiple police officers walking around campus. I feel very safe and at ease knowing that I am protected by them every time I go to campus.
Food and Dining I have never eaten at Delgado.
Dorm Life The Westbank Campus does not have dorm rooms.
Academic Rigor My first semester at Delgado went GREAT! I was an online only student and all of my professors kept me interested in my classes and wanting to do more. One professor in particular was AMAZING. She held more study classes then I expected. She helped me understand all of my work and did an awesome review for finals.
Tips for prospective students My best tip for prospective students is to make sure you hand deliver all of your documents for financial aid and make sure you get a receipt for the documents you turn in because I was told that I did not turn in papers when I know I did.
In three sentences This is my second semester At Delgado and I am thinking about applying to another college because of all of the trouble I had to go through for financial aid and scheduling. I went to the campus 5 times in 3 weeks and the financial aid office told me Everything was fine. Of course, everything was NOT FINE, I stood in a line for 5 hours of about a hundred or more students on the LAST day to pay for classes to sign a promissory note because the FINANCIAL AID office said that was the only day to sign it. I am highly dissatisfied with the way they handled my financial aid.

Dorm Life I am not sure if Delgado has dorms. I do not attend the main campus.
Academic Rigor In my experience the classes are not has rigorous as at a traditional four year school.
Tips for prospective students Do your research before registering for classes. Learn about all the programs that the college has to offer before making a decision.
In three sentences Great place to start college for a first time freshman. Delgado offers a small classroom setting, but also has larger classroom setting at the main campus. Delgado has many campuses across south-east Louisiana.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They have campus police, real police patrol the streets nearby. Also, they have emergency poles to push a button and the cops come shortly after.
Greek Life Don't have it.
Clubs and Activities They do have some activities. As of clubs, I don't know, I don't attend anything besides class. Don't have time, since a full time job and a kid.

Tips for prospective students Go to school and get an education in something that you like. If u don't than you won't like your job and end up quitting or getting fired. Even possibly doing a columbine, hopefully not. If you get a job doing something you love its almost as if its not a job.
In three sentences Its a community college. It's not to expensive, compared to other colleges. I would have to say for the degree I'm going for, its worth it. The teachers are great and are willing to help you out.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Delgado has security guards on duty at all times, also they have emergency buttons everywhere.
Bang for the buck Even though Delgado only offers Associate Degrees, working towards that goal before you transfer to a 4 year college will get a degree under your belt. Also, once you get a degree, you can't lose it. If you only take a few courses then transfer, you take the chance of losing all your hard work if you do not graduate.
What to do for fun There are many activities on the Delgado calendar. It's in the heart of New Orleans, so there are many, many things to do locally.
Food and Dining There is a Student Life Center that has a few places to eat. Delgado is near many food and dining establishments.
Dorm Life None
Academic Rigor Turn in all of your homework on time and try not to miss classes, then you will do fine.
Tips for prospective students Get with your faculty advisor before you register for classes.
In three sentences My experience as a student at Delgado has been wonderful so far. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Delgado offers classes at all hours of the day & late evening as well as on-line and flex classes.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Parking lot security is about as far as it gets but for being such a large enrollment, there isnt much danger going on.
Greek Life None.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs to join.
Great for these types of students All types of students go to this college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus No traditions that I know of but I know they offer Crawfish boils from the SGA every year.
Bang for the buck Definitely a good school for the student on a budget. Tuition and expenses are inexpensive and they offer a lot of scholarships and financial assistance.
What to do for fun Have a life outside of class.
Food and Dining Vending machines, a small cafe on their bigger campus and snacks in the bookstore are what make up the dining at this school.
Dorm Life They don't really offer housing solutions as it is a small community college.
Academic Rigor They have good classes and offer a wide range.
Tips for prospective students Be on top of everything during your enrollment process and time there and ask for as much help with everything without fear.
In three sentences This school is for those who want to save money and get a quick degree. This school is very unorganized in the admissions and financial aid offices. This school offers several different education options.

Great for these types of students Delgado is great for every type of student.
Bang for the buck Delgado gives you great quality classes for a really low price
What to do for fun Join one of their many sports teams or join one of their extra curricular activities.
Food and Dining The food is alright. The only thing that is really good at Delgado is their breakfast.
Academic Rigor Delgado Community College is full of wonderful teachers that are willing to help every student and truly want to see their students succeed.
Tips for prospective students Study hard and get your prerequisites out of the way first. It is very important that you get out of remedial classes. Everyone should make getting out of remedial classes a priority

Categories Comments Campus Safety The police on campus are very protective, sometimes overly so.
Clubs and Activities There's a small number of organizations, mostly collegiate.
Great for these types of students It's not really a party school, unless you make friends with people that have their own parties. It's a school for those who want to get in and get out, mostly.
Bang for the buck I believe Delgado is the cheapest education that can be had in New Orleans. But it feels like it should cost more because of the quality of the education.
What to do for fun There's usually an event going on at the campus - dog expo, health fair, bake sales, music event, Crawfest (every semester), etc.
Food and Dining The food here is good, not fine dining. There's a Student Life Center, which contains a PJ's coffee shop and a cafeteria with subs, salads, burgers, fries, and many other food.
Academic Rigor The classes here at Delgado are not to be taken lightly. I know of many students whom have had to drop out of classes because they could not take the pressure and expectations of the class.
Tips for prospective students My number one tip is to know what you are going to Delgado for, be it for the college transition experience without the full-on 4-year exposure or for learning a skill in a short amount of time.
In three sentences Delgado Community College is actually a nice school, compared to what many are led to believe. They get a lot of flak for being, first and foremost, a trade school, but the academics are top notch. I love this school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are always a staff of security protecting the campus.
Great for these types of students Great for students who want to finish school in two years or for students who want to transfer to a 4 year school.
What to do for fun There's plenty of activities such as crawfest.
Food and Dining There is a cafeteria that sells regular food and often while holding events give out food such as pizza
Dorm Life There are no dorms as this is a community college
Academic Rigor The courses here can be challenging, but with hard work and taking advantage of the tutoring, there's no reason while you shouldn't be able to make an A. I've made all A's and B's while i been over here. While I had to work hard for my GPA, it all payed off in the end.
Tips for prospective students Come in here with a plan on exactly what you vision doing. Know what courses you want to take. I would advise you to take your general courses while you're over here
In three sentences Delgado is a very good school for a student looking to transfer to a 4 year school. I went from not being able to get into any school coming out of high school, and now turned into a student that can go to various schools.the teachers are great, the students are great, but the employees can be rude at times.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Science, technology, criminal justice, tv/radio, nursing, medical assistant.
Bang for the buck Depending on the major, Delgado is a good option for the first two years. The instructors try to give options for a four year transfer degree instead of a job skill degree. The classes transfer to many of the area universities.
Food and Dining On campus has a nice grill for breakfast. A Subway and Taco Del Mar are right across the street.
Academic Rigor The science and math departments are good but the English and general studies departments have really low expectations.
Tips for prospective students Be aggressive with class choices because many classes are taught by several instructors. Take advantage of the various options for science classes, the options are incredible for the size of school. Learning to be self sufficient and doing things independently online will speed the process of enrolling, paying tuition and fees as well as keeping up with grades.
In three sentences Delgado has done a very good job in providing majors relevant to the New Orleans job market. For the most part, the staff and instructors are more than willing to help with enrollment questions and class schedule. The online math options are truly exceptional with excellent instructors.

Food and Dining You can find all types of food on-campus, whether you have time to spare, or on the go.
Dorm Life There is no dorm life on campus because there aren't any dorms on campus.
