Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Dillard University Professors will not lead you to failure, if academics are concerned. If you show to them that you are trying and still need help they are willing to help. You have to show that you care about your education, therefore they will care to help you receive it.
Am enjoying being here Many people say Dillard is boring. Well, my freshman year at Dillard was not boring at all. I joined the California Club (Chaplain), Vision Quest Mime Ministry, and was apart of the DU Diamonds(official dance team of Dillard.) If you sit around in your dorm all day of course its going to be boring. Being involved helped me to enjoy my Dillard experience.
Bang for the buck Yes, we all know Dillard is expensive, however, if you make good grades Dillard has no choice but to give you the money you deserve!
Tips for prospective students STAY INVOLVED, GO TO CLASS, DO YOUR WORK, ATTEND COMMUNITY SERVICE/ SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS OR OUTINGS, GO TO YOUR PROFESSORS OFFICE HOURS IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING!
Great for these types of students IF YOU LOVE TO DO YOUR WORK AND HAVE FUN DILLARD UNIVERSITY IS THE PLACE TO BE!

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I would say that Dillard University is an exceptional school, geared towards the academic success of its students. With a picturesque campus set in the seventh ward of the vibrant city of New Orleans, Dillard University offers an array of opportunities from the scholastic, as well as from the extracurricular, aspect.
Tips for prospective students For prospective students, I would first recommend that they be open-minded and well-rounded when it comes to living in the city of New Orleans. It is also suggested that they also be accepting of peoples from different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, as Dillard has a student population that is very much diverse.
Academic Rigor One will find that the curriculum at Dillard University offers just the right amount of challenge without becoming too difficult to manage. The courses offered at the university are accommodating to a strong majority of the student population. However if a student does find themselves struggling with a particular course, assistance from professors is always available with flexible office hours that are conducive to a student's course schedule.
Dorm Life Dorm life at Dillard University is a positive experience, as it allows for the students to become closer to one another, often times forming bonds that lasts their entire tenure at the university. Most of the students that attend Dillard live on-campus in a dormitory, university-owned apartment complex, or on-campus townhouse.
Food and Dining Dillard University offers students the option of purchasing a meal plan that gives the student access to the Kearny dining hall where breakfast, lunch, and dinner is offered. Students are not given a limitation on the amount of plates or dishes that they are able to have during a particular time as well.
What to do for fun Located in the exciting city of New Orleans, which is famous for its beautiful gardens, art galleries, parks, and illuminating nightlife, there is always something to do. In addition, the university hosts many different extracurricular events such as parties hosted by on-campus organizations, Greek-affiliated events, and concerts performed by the university famous student choir, VisionQuest.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Dillard University is unique and refreshing because of it's small size, family values, and religious backgrounds. I truly love and enjoy everyday that I get to walk on campus and greet friendly faces. Dillard university is the best place to receive a great education.
Tips for prospective students If you plan on coming to Dillard University, be sure to have all of your financial issues resolved, because waiting in line to speak to your financial advisor can be tedious. Also, as at any institution, it is best to become familiar with the most recent student course catalog so that picking classes for next semester will be a breeze.
Academic Rigor Dillard University does a great job of helping high school students transition from a high load of work to college load, because they [faculty] understand what it takes to become a successful college freshman. I have not had any problems with academics just be sure to STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Dorm Life I am a commuter.
Food and Dining I have had the pleasure to eat the cajun inspired cuisine of Dillard University, because the University is located in New Orleans, LA they always have the best food. You can find everything from gumbo to freshly made sandwiches in the dinning hall Kearny. In Kearny there is always friendly staff members around to assist with any needs, as well as flat screen televisions and the latest music playing through speakers.
What to do for fun There are often mini fairs and games that go on near Kabbacoff and also a game room at the bottom of Kearny. Students always have the latest news on the best parties and fashion shows that go on campus, so there is never a dull moment at Dillard University.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus During the commencement ceremony the graduating students are allowed to walk on the Oaks, which are never to be walked on until graduation day.
Great for these types of students Dillard University is great for students who want to experience a smaller university with outstanding academics and social life. Dillard is also known for their spectacular Nursing program.
Clubs and Activities Some clubs include Honor Society and Black Ivy Couture. There is also a choir that has been recognized in numerous places, they even sang at the White House for President Barack Obama.
Campus Safety Although the campus is small, campus does their job when it comes to student safety. They check ids for walking students along with parking decals that allows students to park on campus even if they commute.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I feel Dillard University can definitely help me excel in my future career as a Registered nurse. They have on campus tutoring services that can also help me along the way. It is a great school.
Tips for prospective students Always stay focused in everything that you do and never give up when times get hard.
Academic Rigor They push for the best students academically so each student has to stay focused.
Dorm Life As a freshman, we get the short end of the stick. But as you become an upper class men, housing gets better. Also, room with someone who you can actually live with.
Food and Dining The food is decent and so is the cafe. More variety would be nice but its fair in food and dining.
What to do for fun I hang with friends, go to the student union to work out and occasionally, i go to hosted party events.
Bang for the buck Dillard has no football team but we have strong school spirit. We are dedicated to the sports we have such as, basketball, track, and volleyball.
Clubs and Activities Dillard has a lot of on campus activities that any student can participate in. Please be active at your university.
Greek Life Our Greek life is looked upon very well. All our Greeks take their sorority and feternities very seriously, but they also have fun.
Campus Safety Our campus police is very strict on student i.d's and making sure the students stay safe.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences dillard is amazing overall, if planning on attending this university you must come here with a open mind set and willing to try new things!
Tips for prospective students willing and open to try new things, comprepared to work and join a family here at dillard university.
Academic Rigor academics are good. the professors are pretty much easy once you learn the way they teach. its a small school, class sizes range from 20 students to 1 professor.
Dorm Life there are 5 dorms on campus 3 of them are under construction due to katrina, which will reopen in fall 2012. there are 3 off campus sites for sudents and staff, the university provides a shuttle for off campus students in the university housing.
Food and Dining honestly the food isnt great at all. the only 2 days the students look forward to is mondays and fridays, the other days are just blah!
What to do for fun there are many orgazations and clubs that you can join on campus, and if there is one you would like to start, then so be it. there are sports teams. the student union and other on campus sites. many students make there own fun on the weekends off campus and so fourth.
Bang for the buck all i have to say is, make sure you visit your college before attending, key note to all out of state students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus parting cermony, where students part from their parents in the chapel.
Great for these types of students realistically dillard isnt for everybody, your experience is what you make it here.
Clubs and Activities texas club, california club, c-100, class councils, pre alumni council, psychology club, s.k.i.r.t.s, blue crew, commuters club... there are many clubs i can list. as i stated before, you can start your own club on campus.
Greek Life greek life isnt like a great big school. the university is smaller so the greek life is small.
Campus Safety the campus is a closed campus, so if you do not attend the university it is sort of a hassle to get on campus.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I have learned so much since attending Dillard. The school makes you feel welcome and try and assist you in any way possible. Most of the professors know you a personal level and will be there for you if you are having trouble and need help.
Am enjoying being here I thought I was going to be bored and not having any fun, but was I so wrong about that. Dillard has some of the best on campus parties and activities for students, the school wants it to feel like home a little bit.
Bang for the buck For Dillard to be a private college you get the most bang for your buck, and no out of state fees is one of the reasons I chose Dillard.
Tips for prospective students Go on a college tour. Do research on the school. Find out from other students about the college life.
Great for these types of students If you are a natural science major or a nursing major than Dillard is the perfect school for you to attend. GO BLEU

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Dillard University is a small, family oriented environment. Once you step onto the campus you will become a part of the Bleu Devil family! We work hard in class, we have a lot of fun on campus, but we also go out into our community and make a difference.
Tips for prospective students 1. When dealing with Financial Aid do not take no for an answer.
2. Buy your textbooks somewhere online (it's way cheaper).
3. Campus life is what you make it, don't be turned off by the size of the student body.
4. Bring Rain boots! lolAcademic Rigor Most of the courses will prove to be challenging however the great thing about Dillard is that the professors are WILLING to bend over backwards to assure that you develop a level of mastery of the courses.
Dorm Life The freshman dorms aren't bad, they are suite style and you wont have to share a bathroom with an entire floor.
Food and Dining The food is great on Mondays and Fridays , and the pancakes Sunday morning are to die for ! Every other day will be a gamble, but you will live .
What to do for fun Get to know your peers! The university is much more entertaining when you are involved.
Bang for the buck There are many resources available to students on campus, it is just a matter of pursuing them.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Straight is the Dormitory that is supposed to be haunted ( i don't believe it.) The Oaks is possibly the most sacred place on campus because of it's beauty and because of what it means to march up the Oaks for graduation.
Great for these types of students Leaders, Socially Conscious, and any student that wants an undergraduate educate that will prepare them for post graduate life and their careers.
Clubs and Activities There are too many clubs to name ! My main piece of advice is to research the clubs and find which one best fits you.
Campus Safety Sometime security over does it , they give students a hard time when trying to drive on campus, but overall it is a place that we all feel safe.
