Categories Comments 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.

Categories Comments Campus Safety 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!

Categories Comments 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.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck The University of New Orleans is an affordable school and provides several scholarships to compensate for other expenses. Anyone who wants to attend an university that is cost affordable and provides a wide range of majors, then University of New Orleans is right for you.
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.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is always on staff 24 hrs a day.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus 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.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck 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!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Relaxed, laid back people. Easy place to sit and hang out while in school.
Tips for prospective students Be open minded and you will like it.
Bang for the buck UNO is always trying to make things as cheap as possible without cutting out the education.
Am enjoying being here 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.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus 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.
Bang for the buck i've met so many fascinating people. so many imimgrants from anywhere in the world and they come with great stories of survial. i am so happy they, and myself, are in america!
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.
Food and Dining breakfast is the best part of the day! the frenchtoast is so sweet and deiclious it makes me want to cry. i drag myself out of bed every morning just for the cafteria because that food is the best!
Dorm Life my dorm is cozy and spacey. they gave me the best roommate i could ever ask for; we're actually bffs now. i love it more than my parents' house.
Academic Rigor the classes have the best teachers i could dream of. they actually want to talk to you about the subjects. go to them, learn all you can.
Tips for prospective students don't ignore you homework; especially the boring homework! if you can get through, even concur what you hate most then you can get whatever you want.
In three sentences it's the best college i've ever been too. i was in harvard, for a visit, for about a week and can say it's so much better here. the weather, the teachers, the beautiful indiviual buildings!

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have a police force on campus and they respond quickly to any issues that arise.
What to do for fun Your about 15 mins from the French Quarter so you can always find something to do in New Orleans.
Food and Dining Could be much better in the UC, but the food in the Cove is great
Dorm Life They do events and rooms are small, but comfy.
Academic Rigor Depends on you much, but its not very difficult.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Go to Mississippi river. You can ride bike, fishing, beach, and get yourself tan.
Food and Dining Its an optional you can bring our own food. There's a new building that have everyone favorite. Subway, KFC, and smoothie.
Dorm Life 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.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is campus police who will contact the NOPD if needed.
Greek Life UNO has them but I am not interested at this time.
Clubs and Activities Cheerleading dance team sports extra curriculum clubs
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Mardi Gras tree. All freshman throw a pair of beads on the tree for good luck in college.
Bang for the buck I would like to get as many scholarships or grants as possible to help me pay for school. Both my mom and my brother have student loans so I need financial assistance.
What to do for fun I have taken dance lessons since I was three and I have been a cheerleader for 6 years.
Food and Dining I would love to purchase a meal plan but cannot afford it at this time!
Dorm Life I am commuting to school. I would love to live in the dorm because I am a Type One diabetic and I am not ready to drive, so I do not now how I will get to classes yet?
Academic Rigor I am not sure what I want to major in yet, but I plan on creating a career for myself!
Tips for prospective students Go to the Freshman Orientation! It will give you a lot of help.
In three sentences I really like the location and it is a small university.

Categories Comments 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.

Great for these types of students UNO is grea for quiet students, who just want to get done with school as soon as possible.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every year there is a Mardi Gras parade thrown by the daycare children. They also have swampball, and an all you can eat crawfish party.
Bang for the buck UNOs fees are pretty reasonable, However the prices for the books are outrageous!
What to do for fun The only thing you can do is attend an event found on one of the many bulletin boards.
Food and Dining They have many options and are currently adding more!
Dorm Life I do not stay in the dorms, but I have heard good things about dorm life.
Academic Rigor UNO is highly recognized around the city!
Tips for prospective students Complete your application correctly.
In three sentences Not a party school, very quiet. The students keep to themselves. The teachers are there to help!

Tips for prospective students They won't hold your hand here--be ready to keep track of your own obligations.
In three sentences Great education for the money. College is going through a lot of change though. What they lack in administrative strength they make up for with great teachers.

Categories Comments 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.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus police patrol everywhere, and there is always one at the dorms.
Clubs and Activities We have some, but not too many worth noting.
Great for these types of students Ones who want to get their degree quickly.
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.

Categories Comments 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.

Categories Comments 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.
In three sentences Great campus that offers a rewarding expereince for students. Difficult, but engaging professors that stimulate academic growth. Excellent location that is 20 minutes from downtown New Orleans.

Great for these types of students Great for students looking for a diverse environment and experience in their lives, which would hopefully be during your college career if you have never experienced it in your life!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The UC is one of the most populated but fun areas on campus for events such as music Tuesdays where the university lets talented musicians perform for you during your dead hour or when there are no classes scheduled on Tuesdays or Thursdays!
Bang for the buck This school is better to attend than looking for money to attend Tulane or Loyola!
What to do for fun New Orleans offers so many forms of entertainment and new adventures daily!
Food and Dining The Real Food On Campus (RFoC) is where it's at!
Dorm Life Great dorm life here on UNO's campus! As well as the on-campus apartments!
Academic Rigor The classes in the Liberal Arts (from what I can speak of) are intensive and challenging but in a good way!
Tips for prospective students Please be prepared to meet and experience the coolest city ever!!
In three sentences The greatest university to attend in the heart of the greatest city in the universe -- New Orleans!
