    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for scholarships early and start taking the ACT in your junior year. Don't forget the FAFSA and consider ROTC to help pay for college as an option.

    Am learning a lot

    Grambling is a great school because you get to experienve the life of a black college and how diffeerent some things at grambling are compared to other schools. Grambling also gives you the chance to make out there in the work world with the education and things you learn from Grambling
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying being here because Grambling allows you to get your education and also time to have fun because it has everything from parties, to flag football to 3 on 3 tournaments and that keeps my time at Grambling good. Some other things about Grambling that I'm enjoying is that they also have plenty of extracurriuclar activities for you to participate in like Fraternities,Clubs, and Intramural league sports.
    Bang for the buck

    Grambling is a great school for the price because it is not to much to pay and they do things where if it is to much to pay you can get ways to lower the prices by making good grades and getting out of state fee;s waived
    Tips for prospective students

    Some tips for prospective students is to do your work and everything else falls into place
    Great for these types of students

    Grambling State University is a great place to start your college career. I fully enjoyed my first semester there with all the things that they have to offer. If you choose Grambling as your college, I'm pretty sure you will not be sorry.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you're planning on attending GSU, be prepared to experience a challenge but at the same time, be open minded. They have many programs and things to offer, so feel free to get involved.
    Academic Rigor

    There are high expectations set at GSU. Students are expected to fully evaluate class work even with its difficulty.
    Dorm Life

    I loved my freshman dorm this semester. Besides from them being new, you feel at home also. Having my own personal space was critical to me, so I chose the apartment style dorm and I haven't regretted my decision yet.
    Food and Dining

    In the cafeteria, there are many choices throughout the day, If you do not want one thing, you have the option of selecting another. If you get bored like I did with the cafe selections, then using your tiger bucks will come in handy for you, where there are sooo many different selections and food that will make you feel right at home
    What to do for fun

    For fun, most of the time depending on which day of the week that it is, Grambling will already have something planned on campus. but do NOT forget homecoming week or the bayou classic, you have to experience them.
    Bang for the buck

    If you choose Grambling State University as your college, you will not be sorry. Even with some downfalls, the good outweighs the bad. And as regards to the typical amount being around 7,000 a semester, its a cheap college with high quality.
    Great for these types of students

    African American Students, International Students, Social Work Majors
    Campus Safety

    There is never a moment that I haven't felt safe on campus, of course besides when you have to get used to not being at home. But there are emergency stations all around campus just in case.

    Am learning a lot

    I am currently pursuing my nursing degree. The classes are very informative and I am learning a lot. My professors are really great!
    Am enjoying being here

    Even though I am enjoying my classes, I have had a lot of trouble out of Financial Aid, Admissions and Registrars Office. I have been there a year now and it seems like every semester is something new. I am really frustrated with this area of the university. I am actually going to make an appointment with the President of the University (that's how bad it is).
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is reasonable but the University itself needs a lot of work. Some of the buildings are not presentable. Many of them are falling apart.
    Tips for prospective students

    If I could move, I would definitely choose another university. I really don't recommend it.

    Am enjoying being here

    Life on Grambling's campus is something that you will never experience anywhere. You will make friends and family with people that will last a lifetime. As with any other school we like to party yet we get the work done first. Business before pleasure is key with Grambling
    Bang for the buck

    My only problem with the cost are the out-of-state fees. Thank God for scholarships. Keep your grades up & stay on top of those scholarships!

    grambling is what you make it. it can be fun to some, but boring to others. its great academic wise.
    Tips for prospective students

    to all incoming students, don't come here thinking this is just a party school because it is not. grambling is far more than just parties and club hopping, you need to make time for your work and any other more important things too. a little fun won't harm anything but most freshman lose sight of why they attend college.
    Academic Rigor

    the student-teacher ratio here is great. the classrooms are reasonably sized, meaning your professor will know who you are. in most big universities the classrooms are huge with 150+ students, but here the biggest classroom might be about 90 students tops, if that. the professors have reasonable office times so you can get in touch with them if you are having any problems in the classroom.
    Dorm Life

    most of the dorms are new and nice. if you are a freshman, you are most likely going to stay in tiger village 800 or 900. i would suggest 900 because it is suite style.
    Food and Dining

    the food is typical, nothing spectacular. every now and then, you might catch the cafetaria on a good day. our tiger express consists of burger king, panda express, starbucks, home zone and a pizza place. there is a store right outside the express for those who may need a quick snack.
    What to do for fun

    there is always something to do on tuesdays and thursdays between 11:00 a.m and 1:00 p.m. some of the organizations are always trying to put something together. the festivites, such as spring fest or homecoming week , are always fun.
    Campus Safety

    in my honest opinion, the campus police react slowly to some situations. however, campus is safe, just be sure if you are a female, never walk alone. we all know to stay out of drama, do that, and you are good to go!
