    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are very friendly & willing to go out of their way to help you to the best of their ability. If you're having trouble with anything all you have to do is ask. The material covered in the classes are interesting & challenging.
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE being at Nicholls. I am super-glad I chose Nicholls State University to further my education because the environment is wonderful. There are beautiful grounds to enjoy, quiet places to focus & study, & many friendly faces to help you out.
    Bang for the buck

    Nicholls is definitely an affordable college, (as affordable as college can be!) and you definitely get what you're paying for & more.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't listen to what other people say about some of the teachers or classes. Some people find certain classes or professors harder than others, so don't be intimidated by opinions. Be confident in yourself.

    Am learning a lot

    The smaller classroom settings allow you to be more attentive, and it is easier to gain one-on-one time with professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being on campus! The surroundings are beautiful and the campus is not to large. Everything is in walking distance. Also, there are alot of learning resources, lounges, study places, and snack places on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is fair, but with recent budget cuts it could change.
    Tips for prospective students

    STUDY! BE ORGANIZED! BE DETERMINED!
    Great for these types of students

    In three sentences

    Nicholls State University is an outstanding University. My college experience here has been amazing. I have learned who I really am and also what I want to do for the rest of my life.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should not be afraid to go out and meet knew people. I transferred to this small University after attending LSU for a year. When I got here I decided to swallow my pride and join organizations and meet knew people. This was the best decision of my life. I have made lifelong friendships and I have also discovered who I really am.
    Academic Rigor

    I really have not had any challenges or circumstances that have hindered my experience here. It is very easy to get in touch with professors for one on one help. There are multiple opportunities across campus that provide tutoring or help when needed. When I have concerns I go directly to my adviser who sends me in the right directions.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm experience has also been great. Residence life is something the University really focuses on. There are always dorm study groups and other dorm activities that help get students involved.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria here offers a variety of options that accommodate almost everyone's needs.There are also a number of other food venues located across campus that can help those who have a tight class schedule.
    What to do for fun

    There are always athletic events going on that provide a great atmosphere. Located only about 10 miles from the campus is a mall and movie theater.
    Bang for the buck

    If you are looking for a warm friendly college experience, Nicholls is right for you. The academic along with the extra curricular activities offered can fit almost any personality. There is something here for everyone.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    My favorite campus tradition is Crawfish Day. During the spring semester Crawfish Day takes place. The activities during that day include concerts, rides and free foood! Along with ALOT of boiled crawfish!
    Great for these types of students

    Students who come from small high schools who are looking for a college experience similar to that.
    Really any student can be fit here.
    Clubs and Activities

    Everything you can think of!
    Greek Life

    I am not involved in Greek Life. But there are a number of students who are and LOVE it.
    Campus Safety

    There are emergency call boxes located all around campus in case you have an emergency. There are also police patrolling the campus at all time. The University has also just added a number of cameras across campus for safety.

    Am learning a lot

    I can honestly say that I am learning a lot here at Nicholls. I'm happy that I decided to apply for this college. Most of the classes go at a steady pace and many of the teachers are willing to meet with their students if they are having problems in the class.
    Am enjoying being here

    This was the best decision I've ever made. I was concerned about not fitting in and being stuck in my room alone everyday. The people here are amazing. Despite the fact that everybody still have their groups that they like to be in, everybody gets along well despite their differences.
    Bang for the buck

    To some the total cost of everything seems a bit much, but I say that it's worth every penny. Most of the dorms are great, the teachers are very helpful, the staff in the various departments on campus are willing to help with any issues one may have, and there is always something happening on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. If there are any issues don't be afraid to ask around. Most students are just as helpful as the staff, so it won't be hard to find the answers that you seek.
    2. Try to keep up to date on your progress in class. The teachers and student advisers are there to help if there are any issues.
    3. Don't be afraid to get out there and talk to people. You never know what you might find.
    Great for these types of students

    Nicholls is great for all kinds of people; from quiet people who like small groups and not going out much to people who consider themselves the life of the party. It's not hard to find your place in the Nicholls family.

    Am learning a lot

    I learn new things daily while attending Nicholls, whether it be learning street smart things or things in class. I love being there to learn.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being at Nicholls. The dorms are warm and friendly. Always feels like you are at your home. The dorm staff are always friendly and ready to help. They come check on you often and always ask how your day has been.
    Bang for the buck

    Nicholls has a very reasonable tuition. For the amount of money one pays they would get a lot more than expected. All of the services and opportunities that Nicholls offer are unmeasurable. Every way the school can help you they will. All you have to do is ask and sometimes you don't even have to ask.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantages of all the services at Nicholls. Meet as many staff as you can and form relationships with them because they are willing to help you throughout your college career. Join clubs because it makes college more fun and give you something to do for your down time. Stay on campus because if you don't you are missing out on half the fun of college.
    Great for these types of students

    Nicholls is great for every type of student. If you struggle in school we have a great tutoring center and very helpful teacher and also students are eager to help if you ask. If you are a genius our honor's program is awesome and they travel overseas twice a year. If you love people and having a hometown feel NICHOLLS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

    Bang for the buck

    ????? Not ready to check financial aid yet.
    Tips for prospective students

    I was invited for a tour and everyone was VERY friendly and helpful. The campus looked great and the dorms looked amazing. One of the professors took me to his classroom and talked to me about my intended major and what he suggested I take in high school next year for almost an hour. It was so personal. I loved it! No other campus anywhere has done that for me!
