Categories Comments Great for these types of students People who just want to be themselves. You could go into a classroom and befriend someone who normally you wouldn't associate with in high school. Everyone gets along with one another and there's rarely any judgement. So, people who are very sociable and enjoy fun would like it also.
Tips for prospective students This is a great school. If you want to dorm life, it might be a tad bit different. They have a apartments you can live on. There are other apartments nearby. If you do injure yourself, the hospital is right next door. Its an awesome school.
Bang for the buck I'm getting money back. For me to have 30 hours, its costing roughly around $5,000 a year, whereas, if I was attending the same university as one of my friends, it would probably be costing me close to $20,000.
Am enjoying being here The whole place it great. The landscaping is nice and you're given enough time to do things you couldn't normally do in high school. They also have a lot of days where they give away free items.
Am learning a lot Although some of my classes are difficult, they are very insightful and I enjoy attending the classes. It's one thing when you dread going to a class, but its another when you actually want to attend the class.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus police are very efficient, but you don't see them very often.
Greek Life We have many Sororities and Fraternities. We have a new Sorority (which I am bringing on campus), and a new Frat.
Clubs and Activities The people here are alot nicer than LATECH. Honestly they are. SGA and Rotaract are two awesome organizations to be a part of. Rotaract holds a huge Benefit Ball every year for the Shreveport Bossier Rescue Mission- a lot of students don't know about it. But I've gone for the past 2 years. It's a blast and we get to raise money for a good cause. Just be involved and you will meet some awesome people :)
Great for these types of students Students who aren't wanting just to party and want to focus on academics, and for students who live off campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Nothing of the unusual lol.
Bang for the buck Very cheap school compared to other 4 year-universities.
What to do for fun BE INVOLVED! This campus is known as a Commuter-College. Alot of students come and go or are non-traditional. A lot of people don't consider LSUS when they pick colleges in Louisiana,but it is actually a great school.
Food and Dining The food isn't bad, but we need more variety. We have no Restaurants. Just food that the work study students make.
Dorm Life We don't have dorms. We have on campus apartments. I've been told they are decent but very small.
Academic Rigor I don't have the best grades, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It is way easier to focus here than at Louisiana Tech. I went there for a short while and personally, I enjoy LSUS more.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you keep up with everything and study, this school is not one of the easier ones in Louisiana.
In three sentences This is a great school for you students who want to spend less money. The tuition for each semester ranges from $2,000-3200. Which is fairly cheap. It is a school BIG on academics so that can be a plus for some students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus police constantly patrol the campus ensuring your safety and there are many police call buttons located throughout the campus so if you ever feel unsafe just hit the button and cops come running.
Bang for the buck LSUS is clean, fun and friendly. Parking is the only area that lacks. I wish there were more parking with bigger parking spaces. They are skinny in some areas of campus and people do not know how to park sometimes.
What to do for fun Hanging out in the University Center is fun. In between classes you can go play pool, video games, do homework in the big computer lab, eat, drink, lounge and much more.
Food and Dining Food at LSUS is pretty good, They have a kitchen that serves many types of food and drinks including pizza, burgers and even sushi!
Dorm Life I didnt stay in a dorm but from what others have told me they liked them. A short walk from campus and you're there which is nice. Saves money on gas and driving time each morning.
Academic Rigor The academics is tough but LSUS doesnt swamp you with homework. 3-4 tests will make up the semester instead of hours and hours of homework.
Tips for prospective students Stay on track! Dont get caught up in the college party life and forget about your studies. It is very easy to do, especially if you just moved from out of town. Keep everything organized, such as homework and deadlines and you'll do fine. Everyone there is so helpful its hard to get in the weeds.
In three sentences LSUS is a fun, clean, rewarding college that anyone pursuing a degree will love. Friendly people, nice staff and clean campus all contribute to a great campus life. Student activities, clubs and organizations will also make your stay at LSUS a good one.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Great value.
What to do for fun Ultimate Frisbee, exercise regularly, and hang out with friends.
Food and Dining The UC offers a great, low priced variety for students.
Dorm Life I am not familiar with dorm life on campus here.
Academic Rigor Some classes are more inclined for students who are naturally gifted in a certain study (i.e. math, or literature). However, other courses are less intensive.
Tips for prospective students Study hard in high school.
In three sentences Louisiana State University is a great school for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the Medical Field. LSUS is comparatively low priced. It is also in an area saturated with medical professionals as well as many who are interested in the field, and therefore, makes for a great learning climate.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities Weightlifting team is a great group of people. Very friendly, my favorite part of the school!
What to do for fun There is a pool, sand volleyball area, and a basketball hoop. There are sometimes that the school or apartments hold events but for the most part not very interesting.
Food and Dining I have never ate in the school area but has been popular for others.
Dorm Life The campus apartments are not as great as what they are advertised to be. Maintenance takes forever and the workers are not always helpful. With the exception of a few.
Academic Rigor Friendly teachers and students. Helpful and work with you when you show an effort.
In three sentences I have attended LSUS for almost two years now. From my experience the professors are very welcoming and helpful. Also the students themselves are really nice.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the most we worry about is people leaving their money out in random rooms and getting surprised when it disappears. Don't be stupid and lock your cars but all in all no real problems
Greek Life it exists....
Clubs and Activities they are there.
Great for these types of students NONTRADITIONAL
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus no one really comes to our events lol.
Bang for the buck look we aren't expensive.
What to do for fun not much if you aren't 21 but then clubs and casinos.
Food and Dining Oh the school's food sucks but you are surrounded by other options.
Dorm Life Dorms we don't have no stinking dorms. You can live in the apartment complex for college students though if you want to get ripped off.
Academic Rigor It is school and some of these professors have little to no humor when it comes to classes. Some classes are hard some aren't but always come prepared.
Tips for prospective students Go ahead and look for a place to live off campus because there are no dorms.
In three sentences You get a great education. It is at an affordable price. It is not the typical party scene type of college though.

Food and Dining The port has pretty good food
Dorm Life If you dont have a car and/or you are a freshman I recommend you stay on campus. Other than that.....
Tips for prospective students Handle your business and you should be fine
In three sentences LSUS is a good school to go to if your looking for a quality education at a somewhat low price. Many of the departments at this school are very reputable in employment.

Categories Comments Campus Safety On this campus you will always be safe, even at 3 in the morning. There are always campus police roaming around. If no one is around, there are police call boxes everywhere!
Greek Life There are many different sororities and fraternities on campus. They do a lot of things together as a group.
Clubs and Activities There are so many activities, it is crazy. Almost every day there is something going on, we recieve emails of this and you can join anything that interests you. If you have an interest in something, there's a 98% possibility that there's a group for it. If not, there are fairly easy ways to start a new group.
Great for these types of students This school is great for the types of students who like one-on-one teaching, teachers who know them, and teachers who can help them quickly. We have many labs to help students understand things they can't in class. Also it is pretty cheap to come here for a good education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus This school is filled with different things such as a gym, blackbox theater, place to worship, library, bookstore, computer lab, and even a place to hang out and meet with friends. During common hour, when no one on campus has class, that often give away free food.
Bang for the buck Coming to LSUS was one of my greatest decisions, the atmosphere, people, school, and food are all wonderful. It is very easy to adapt to the environment here.
What to do for fun For fun you can hang out with your friends, go out to eat, or go the movie theater down the street. Also, about 20 minutes away from the school there are casinos and a bordwalk.
Food and Dining At the school there is a place to get snacks and such, but since each apartment has a full kitchen it isn't necessary to go there each day. Along the same road as LSUS there are many different places to eat such as Whataburger, Chilis, Applebees, Logan's, Posados, Sonic, and many others.
Dorm Life Around school, there are a variety of apartments; the closest and most convenient are University Court Apartments. The UCA is across the street and has a full kitchen and each person gets their own room. They have many socal gatherings that help you to meet people and sometimes they give free food.
Academic Rigor The classes here, if you pay attention in class, are not too hard. The teachers here typically know you by name and will do their best to make sure every student understands the material. If you do not understand it you could meet with or email them; they usually reply withing a couple days.
Tips for prospective students Get a good nights sleep, choose the right school for you, go to class, and do not let you social life interfere with your education. Though friends are important, don't get carried away. Also try to participate in class and have fun!
In three sentences LSUS is a great school. The atmosphere is awesome and the people you meet here are very friendly and personable. Also, the classes are a decent size so your teachers actually know you.
