    Great for these types of students

    The school is great for people looking to live at home and commute. Or people that would like to work as well as be a full-time student (like me).

    Tips for prospective students

    The University of New Orleans is a great choice in school. My tips would be to work in HS to get the best scholarship you can (meal & book coverage is definitely worth it.. that is if you have TOPS to cover tuition). The counselors are not the greatest at scheduling your classes, so you are better off asking someone that attends/attended the school to schedule you. You are better off going to Spring Testing.. try to test out of whatever you can. It will get you out of College quicker.

    Bang for the buck

    I give UNO a 5-star in education for the buck. The education is great, and definitely worth the tuition price. My problem are the extra fees UNO tacks on. Such as the Fitness Center fee.. whether you use it or not, you pay for it. Or the Academic Excellence fee which is a fee for.... being excellent? Or the Fuel Recovery charge for the on-campus electric generator. And on-campus meals are EXPENSIVE. The on-campus bookstore way overcharges for their books, but that is what half.com is for. So all-in-all, the education is worth the tuition, the fees are ridiculous, the meal & book prices are ridiculous as well.

    Am enjoying being here

    UNO is more of a commuting school than a fun school. There are not many things to do around the school, and many students just go for schooling then leave back home or to go to work. However it is still an enjoyable experience, and I have a good time sitting with friends during my breaks, or while walking to classes.

    Am learning a lot

    While many people believe that graduating from a bigger name school (ie Tulane, Loyola, LSU) means a better education, UNO is right on par. Many of my professors and instructors teach at Tulane and Loyola as well. I have been learning a good bit in my current classes, and I am very satisfied with the education I am receiving. And when you graduate and are applying, unless you are trying to get into a competitive work atmosphere (ie Law or Medical) a UNO degree holds just as much weight as anywhere else.

    university police are always on the campus and always patrolling the area.

    Clubs and Activities

    psi-chi for psychology majors, football, soccer, basketball, baseball, student government, tennis, swimming, volleyball, etc...and the list goes on.

    Great for these types of students

    the university of new orleans is great college for all types of students. we have a very diverse student body.

    Bang for the buck

    yes! u.n.o. has the cheapest tuition in louisiana thus far.

    What to do for fun

    u.n.o. is a commuter school. there are different clubs and activities available on campus but so much more to do off-campus.

    Food and Dining

    the food here is great!

    Academic Rigor

    course work is challenging but achievable.

    Tips for prospective students

    do not enroll in any college/university with the mindset that college is easy, because it's not. you must enter college with the mindset to achieve success and be willing to work hard to pursue it.

    In three sentences

    the university of new orleans provides students from high school graduates to non-traditional students with an excellent opportunity to obtain a quality education. the university of new orleans is rich in diversity. i love being a uno privateer!

    Great for these types of students

    Students who like to be close to the action. Big and small classes. First time independence.

    Tips for prospective students

    Check out all of your options when in comes to housing. Sometimes the Apartments are cheaper then the dorms.Take as many classes as you can, it is a great help in being able to afford school in the long run. Get the used text books and always check blackboard and your e-mail.

    Bang for the buck

    Just before I started school I was worried about how I would pay for college, during orientation we were shown how UNO students can check our financial aid. I was still worried about how I would pay for books and housing, but then I was told that I can rent books and pay for housing on my tuition, and that any remaining money would be placed in my bank account. Then I found out about all of the free assistance and other things we can get, such as free rental DVDs and job search assistance. In the end I really didn't have to worry about anything.

    Am enjoying being here

    I really Love being at UNO. It is a great location for my study, and UNO is greatly involved in the city of New Orleans. UNO its self is a great place to be because they have so much going on and it is easy to make friends.

    Am learning a lot

    UNO is an amazing school! The teachers help out a lot by giving detailed syllabus, test tools, easy to fallow PowerPoint slides, and practice tests. I am currently studying Hotel, Restaurant, And Tourism Administration. My business teachers bring in professionals from the different fields and assign destination visits for Homework.

    Am enjoying being here

    UNO is great fun and provides numerous of activities for every interest. UNO's campus is so friendly and open that anyone can find a nice, quiet spot to study, hang out, or just relax.

    Am learning a lot

    The University of New Orleans is a great school. Since I began school in August, it has been nonstop learning and experiencing new subjects. Being a freshman in a new environment has been a quite a change, but UNO is a great school to be in a diverse environment and allows you to understand and embrace new ideas. I have learned a lot while attending here and I cannot wait to start my next semester here.

    I recommend visiting the crayfish boil. The mud-bugs are absolutely delicious when cooked in famous Zatarain's seasoning. Eating crayfish is a New Orleans tradition.

    What to do for fun

    The University of New Orleans offers a variety of fun activities for students. Monthly there are fun activities offered and some go according to the season such as Mardi Gras.

    Food and Dining

    The University of New Orleans offers a meal dining plan. There are several places to eat on campus and other restaurants and a Rouses Grocery store and PJ's coffee house in walking distance.

    Dorm Life

    There is a dorm on campus but if you don't like dorm living, there is an apartment complex on campus as well that gives a view of lake pontchartrain depending on the location of your apartment.

    Academic Rigor

    The Business department is exceptional. The academic advisers are truly helpful and the business office department always has speakers and different types of engagements for students. And they help business students with internship programs when entering their senior year.

    Tips for prospective students

    When trying to enroll have all documents in place to make the process as easy as possible. Have your ACT/SAT test taken and scores ready to turn in.

    In three sentences

    The University of New Orleans has an outstanding business programs. They give new and current students easy access to review all of what's going on around campus with their easy to use website. Their financial aid office personnel is more than helpful when students are in need of funds to aid them when wanting to join school.

    Great price for tuition!

    Am enjoying being here

    I don't have a lot of friends due to the fact that I leave at home with my parents. The friends I made, were during orientation and because of budget cuts and a search for a better university these friends have left.

    Am learning a lot

    Being from a foreign country the school has helped me a lot in improving my English. Which makes it easier to learn more new stuff!

    UNO is always trying to make things as cheap as possible without cutting out the education.

    It's smaller school so making friends is a little bit more difficult but the students are really nice and friendly if you make an effort.

    Am learning a lot

    Teachers are great and I feel challenged without being overworked. I was at ULL for a year and I feel like I am getting a better education here.

    the best location is in the apartments. i may love my dorm but the dorms have this feeling of liberty from the opressive real world. being there is like being in a dream.

    What to do for fun

    picking up the trash around the area fills the soul with serene peace. the yards and streets are decortated with the stuff like lights and garland on a christmas tree. with the cuddly cleaning crew you can join it's the most fun you can have on a thursday.

    Go to Mississippi river. You can ride bike, fishing, beach, and get yourself tan.

    Its an optional you can bring our own food. There's a new building that have everyone favorite. Subway, KFC, and smoothie.

    It's look really good and comfortable but it somewhat expensive (due to the bad economic)

    Academic Rigor

    No so hard,. All you need is a little common sense and look outside the box.

    Tips for prospective students

    When a new student first time there, I would like to tell them come early like 10 minutes. Te building is really huge and you might get lost. Of course there's a main hallway for freshman, but it would be great if you want to know. The more you know about the building, easier to get along and find shortcut so you won't be late for class.

    In three sentences

    From worse to great (1-10), I would rate this campus a 10! Not just UNO have food teacher, the place is fantastic. Great view of the Mississippi River, they have national guard base near and a ranch where you want to ride horse.

    The Mardi Gras tree. All freshman throw a pair of beads on the tree for good luck in college.

    Campus Safety

    The campus police patrol the campus 24 hours a day, which gives a feeling of safety that is coupled with actual safety because there are always at least two police patrolling different parts of campus.

    Clubs and Activities

    There are over 100+ clubs to join at UNO. There is a club for everything pretty much. I plan on starting a new club myself! It is going to be a dodgeball club just because no one else seems to have thought of it yet.

    Great for these types of students

    Commuters and people who want to stay at home would love UNO because it is such a commuter-based school. Almost all classes after freshman year have different age ranges in them so older people won't be embarrassed about going back to school!

    Bang for the buck

    UNO is beyond cheap compared to most universities. Most big schools can't compete with UNO's prices because not only is the tuition the lowest in the state, the classes are awesome and there is variety when scheduling classes.

    What to do for fun

    Once a semester there is something called swampball, which is a pit filled with muddy water that people play volleyball in. It's a blast! I've done it both times it has come around. There are a ton of clubs like the marital arts club or anime club (which has game nights every Friday night that are fun for varying types of people, not just anime fanatics!)

    Food and Dining

    The on-campus dining is sub-par. Specifically in the cafeteria, the food sometimes sits out too long and becomes a little hard. That is a little irritating because it is combo'ed with little to no variety. The food very rarely changes. The hot food is all that changes and it doesn't vary much week to week. There are also fast food places in the University Center and The Cove.

    Dorm Life

    I have been living in the dorms for a year now and could not be more satisfied, except with one thing. The lady who does room assignments is pretty lazy and doesn't give you the room assignment you ask for unless you remind her multiple times.

    Academic Rigor

    UNO is an underdog school. Compared to bigger schools like LSU, Tulane, and ULL... UNO is not considered as tough. UNO is probably as difficult if not MORE difficult than most other universities in Louisiana. I have heard so many bad things about UNO that are not even close to true.

    Tips for prospective students

    Keep your GPA up in high school! Take the ACT as much as you possibly can, the higher your score, the more $$ YOU have for college! Apply for scholarships! Look through the site for applications for scholarships. Most people don't know about these. I didn't until after my first semester, 6 months too late.

    In three sentences

    I had no idea what college would be like before coming to UNO, it has not been disappointing. I could not have made a better decision for what college I am going to. Everybody is so kind, I rarely come across an unfriendly person.

    Campus Safety

    UNO Polices on campus 24/7. Call them whenever you feel like you need a police escort. They are there for you awake all night.

    Greek Life

    It is my personal opinion that i do not see the point of greek life in my university. I do not even know what they do besides doing some community services and dressed up on Sunday for their meetings. They are so into their groups that sometimes it is not hard to see two or multiple groups conflicting for nothing. Not recommended. If you want to join one for career network, there is a great news for you; there are tons of professional organization that actually helps you to broaden your opportunity to get a job instead of doing money business.

    Clubs and Activities

    Sports Clubs offer huge amount of scholarship. Target for those if you do not have scholarship. First come, first served.

    Great for these types of students

    Commuters, and International students. Someone who is actually attending college to learn.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Liberal Art building class number is messed up due to the fact that it used to be a naval base. Go to class 15 minutes before to prevent any tardies.

    What to do for fun

    Student Activity Councils organize events on campus at least once a week. UNO is a wet campus which means you are allowed to drink if you are above 21. There is a brand new bar on campus which serves beers and wine. Allowed to purchase after 4:30 pm.

    Food and Dining

    Aramark is in charge of entire food flow of the campus and it is required to purchase a meal plan if you live in dorm. The cafeteria is a buffet style and there are around 7 more places on campus where you can grab snacks between classes.

    Dorm Life

    UNO dorm is probably the cleanest and newest dorm in the region. There are three options; 1,2, and 4 bedrooms. You have your own sink, room and just have to share a bathroom with one more extra roomate if you choose 2 or 4 bedroom. In general, it is very good.

    Academic Rigor

    If you study and are willing to do your best in your college years, you will be fine. But if you really are laid back not willing to do anything but expect to get As, i am sorry that will not happen.

    Tips for prospective students

    The greek life on campus is totally different from other school's one. Do not expect to live in frat house or something.

    In three sentences

    UNO is a commuter school where it is easy to observe a great diversity in the campus community. Even though the university still has some visible damaged due to hurricane Katrina, the administrators are doing their best to rennovate facilities as much as possible. It is where you can get private education with public tuition.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are a lot of nice little areas on campus. Nothing particularly unusual as far as I know. Most people just take their classes and leave, so not too much in the way of tradition.

    Bang for the buck

    Cheap, only 3000-ish for a semester of tuition, and classes are nice.

    What to do for fun

    If you want to have fun, you want to go off campus. They have events, but they aren't really exciting.

    Food and Dining

    Aramark is no good. I had beef stew today that tasted like chlorine. Coffee shops are good, though.

    Dorm Life

    Dorms are really nice-- you get your own bedroom. However, only a small percentage of students stay here, so there isn't too much going on later in the day.

    Academic Rigor

    It's a serious school, but it isn't Harvard.

    Tips for prospective students

    Take your classes seriously and take advantage of resources on campus. Also, actually find where things are on campus.

    In three sentences

    Basically, UNO is nice for someone who just wants a degree. The administration isn't the best, but most of the teachers and staff are good at what they do. Also, campus is nice.

    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other universities, the University of New Orleans is not that expensive. What it does cost, however, is completely worth it. None of my professors has cancelled class more than one time during the semester. While that can be nice, you are not getting what you paid for. If you really think about it, though, if you are in college, or planning to attend college, you are paying for something that you hope will promise a hopeful future and career for yourself. UNO has professors who know what they're teaching (like they are supposed to--although some professors elsewhere do not), and they care whether or not you understand their material. They will work with you! The advisors at UNO are also extremely friendly when suggesting what courses to take. You are expected to learn as much as possible at UNO, and if you ask me, the amount you are required to pay to attend is severely low compared to what you take away from the university's courses and professors.

    What to do for fun

    There is always some kind of activity going on at the University of New Orleans. The Sandbar, a food establishment located at The Cove, regularly has performances of Jazz music and improv groups on their stage. Earlier this semester, there was a tug-or-war competition and a battle between the girls on a powerpuff football game. A few days ago, current UNO students had a concert! There is always something to do at UNO, and even if you're not interested in an activity that week, you are in New Orleans where there is always something to do!

    Food and Dining

    I absolutely love the food that is offered at UNO. There is a huge selection in the cafeteria, and it is always tasty. To my surprise, there was even an ice cream machine for a delicious ice cream cone. Even better, Chick fil a, Smoothie King, Subway, and even a Popeyes is conveniently located on campus for the students. At The Cove, where the Popeyes is, there is an awesome burger shop that allows you to customer make a delicious burger! My all time favorite is the Sandbar, though. It is on the other side of The Cove, and they offer hamburgers, a variety of salads, and other yummy plates. On certain days, too, they have Jazz performances, as well as an improv group that performs on their stage. It's worth checking out!

    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus, but when I ask my friends who do live in dorms, they always tell me how much they enjoy them. The dorms offer two bedrooms on each side with a roomy living area for those who inhabit it. They provide enough privacy when the time comes, but they also allow for a spacious environment for everyone to socialize. If it was necessary (I live close enough to campus I do not need to stay in a dorm), I would gladly live in their dorms. After all, college is a time to leap from the nest!

    Academic Rigor

    Academically, UNO has had a reputation of a heavy workload. To me, the amount of work I am expected to turn in has not been too much to bear. It could be that I am an academically driven person that I don't mind the amount of work given to me, but it is important to remember that you are paying for this education experience, and you should want as much offered to you as possible. UNO is worth every dollar, and it is only rigorous if you let it be. Attend every class, stay on top of the assignments, and remember to study because if you're paying for it, don't take it for granted.

    Tips for prospective students

    Incoming UNO students should except to word hard. If you're in college, you are there to create a hopeful future for yourself. UNO challenges you, but there are always people and professors around to gladly assist you in the areas you are lacking. Moreover, prospective students should anticipate a friendly environment, because I have yet to meet a student who has not been amiable toward me. Remember, college is what you make out of it, and it is hard to make UNO a bad experience with all of the great things and people it has to offer.

    In three sentences

    The University of New Orleans is a great college because of its nice location and landscape, as well as its academic offerings. The professors I have had so far (I'm only a freshman) are not only experts at what they're teaching, but are also caring toward the students and their grades. UNO offers a well-rounded college experience for whomever wants to attend.

    What to do for fun

    There are many bars and night clubs in downtown New Orleans, from sports clubs to dance halls. For on-cmapus entertainment, the Department of Student Involvement usually offers some sort of student activity such as a movie night or community video game activity.

    Food and Dining

    On campus dining is regulated to standardfast food fare, such as Subway, Chick-Fil-a, and Popeye's. But the main attraction for food lies outside the campus borders, in and around downtown. If one gets tired of campus food, one is not far from world-class dining of every ethnicity.

    Dorm Life

    Average dorms do give adequate living space, but it is not flamboyant for some who want a great place to live. There is plenty of space for two to live, though.

    Academic Rigor

    Most students agree that the classes can be quite difficult and challenging, but this is college, so one must be dedicated to their work. If they do this, then what is being taught will make sense and apply from the teachers that instruct students at UNO.

    Tips for prospective students

    Strategically plan your classes and course requirements to get the maximum out of the tuition and achieve prospective degree quicker.

    What to do for fun

    Hang out at the recreation center to play sports, or you can stay in the dorm to play games like pool.

    Food and Dining

    Simply put, make sure you have the time to eat comfortably. Don't eat something that will upset your body.

    Dorm Life

    As you live in a dorm, you must respect the rules given. Even though you have the freedom to chose when to go to sleep, make sure you sleep enough. You won't feel absent minded the next day if you do.

    Academic Rigor

    Don't panic! Figure out how you will spend your time, and plan things out before hand. Don't study too much, too long, or too hard. If you are attending a class you like, it can be interesting.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you go to ratemyprofessors.com, before you signed up for a class. Get the professors that are not so tough on students. Pay attention to lectures, record them if you can.
