    Am learning a lot

    So far my Instructors have been great. I have found many that actually care about their students and pride themself on doing a good.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everything about the school is great! They offer so much to do outside of the classroom and the people are all super friendly and helpful.
    Bang for the buck

    Being a little on the higher priced side of things, Lourdes is worth every penny. The class schedules are amazing especially if you have a job or family to work around. They streamline everything so your not spending everyday on campus. At fulltime Im only there a few days a week.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come prepared to succeed.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for anyone who wants a great education without the being overwhelmed by the large classes at a big campus. I spent 2 years at a big university and i hated the long walks in the cold from class to class, the 300+ students per class room, and the overall inpersonality of it all. Lourdes has so many activities going on that I feel like im walking onto a big campus, minus all the 10 mile walk. Lourdes is also great for anyone who knows they are going to need a little more help with classes they struggle with. The instructors have been super helpful and there are tutors available all the time.

    Am learning a lot

    Some classes the instructors are effective and others are not. Accounting instructors are terrible in my opinion. I transferred from another 4 year school and the quality of the instructors at that institution seemed much better then Lourdes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am a part time evening student. This school is not geared toward non-traditional students.
    Bang for the buck

    I regret transferring to this school. It is too expensive for what the school has to offer its Business Students.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are going part time be very careful when planning your schedule. Some courses are only offered once every other year so you have to be available for those. If you miss one it will hold you from graduating for another year!!! I am not impressed as a non-traditional student.
    Great for these types of students

    The school may be OK for day time traditional students that have a lot of money to spend and aren't looking for scholarships or aid. If you have to take out loans - good luck paying those back as Lourdes is twice as expensive as some other schools in the area.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors I have aren't very helpful. I'm in a reading strategy class for God knows what reason. I feel so behind in that class. My math teacher marks the entire answer wrong if you didn't solve it the way you wanted to solve it, even if you have the right answer and show all your work. My art professors, they don't like my art work. I want to get better at art, but how they are towards me, it makes me not even want to try to do any better.
    Am enjoying being here

    I've made a few friends here, lots of rich snobby kids though. You'll have that any where in life. Like I said above, the professors I've had so far are horrible.
    Bang for the buck

    Not worth at all the 7 grand a semester. I'm going to tranfer after the spring semester is over. I don't feel like I've learned anything at all.

    Lourdes university is a wonderful school, the instructors are great. The win center is a great place to get work done in between classes. The small classes are a plus, you are able to get one-on-one help.

    Bang for the buck

    I think it is worth what I pay, because I am getting a great education.
    Great for these types of students

    Lourdes would be great for anyone who is trying to get a higher education and at the same time think outside the box.
    Clubs and Activities

    Lourdes offers a different variety of clubs like the Biology club, Black Student Union, Art club, Latino club, and Future Educators just to name a few.

    Lourdes is a great school to go to. The professors are extremely helpful. The advisers work around your personal schedule to get your classes in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Lourdes is awesome. It is a very friendly environment. If you can't find a class or building, don't ever be afraid to stop someone and ask.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live in the dorms but some of my friends do. The dorms are like living in apartments. You really get the feel of living away from your parents.
    Food and Dining

    The food is excellent. There is such a variety.
    What to do for fun

    There is so much to do for fun. There is Thursday game night, dodgeball days, wings and sings, concerts, comedians, hangout at the den, and so much more!
    Bang for the buck

    Lourdes is exceptionally affordable.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many great clubs and activities. If there isn't a club, you can make one!
    Campus Safety

    Everything is always clean. There are security officers that walk around every once in a while to make sure everything is going how it is supposed to. There are also people that ride around on gators to watch for anything out of the ordinary.

    Bang for the buck

    it's a little on the expensive side being a private school but it is a great atmosphere, wonderful education, interesting and free/fun experiences, and well worth the money.

    the campus is actually owned by the sisters of st. francis and they have a lot of beautiful sanctuary areas around the school.

    lourdes doesn't have any fraternities or sororities since it is a small private school.
    Campus Safety

    campus security is constantly monitored by cameras and security guards that make their rounds on campus and at the residence halls multiple times throughout the day and night!
