Southeastern Louisiana University

Do NOT go to this school for its nursing program. I will admit there are some good teachers here, but there are too many bad teachers to make up for the good. This is one of the schools where the teachers will feed on their young. If someone doesn’t like you they have the power to fail you and they got this new thing where you got to take a test or something and if you are doing well in the class, but don’t pass that test, you can fail the class. So much for hard work studying. There was this guy that I knew who was a pharmacy tech and was passing his pharmacology class, but they had this crazy test to take and he didn’t pass that test and failed the whole class cause of that test. I think that is ridiculous. See people will agree with the test, until they have to take it themselves and you have to make a certain HIGH score to pass it, They do not have study guides that give you clear detailed meanings to subjects or tutors or anything to help you with the test. Heck, I even had to call a tutor who was a nurse practitioner from another state who worked with me throughout my stay in the program and said that I would have done better going to another school because I was a better student than the ones she taught in her state! Also, there was this military veteran also in the program who went to the dean in the nursing program here about problems he was facing and the dean yelled at him about how they don’t want dumb students in their program. She said it loud enough for everyone in the office to hear and I was like, Wow. If they don’t respect the vets than they don’t respect their students. Also, if someone was dumb, how were they able to make it INTO their program?

I currently attend Southeastern and I have to say it is all I ever wanted in a college. The school has over 15,000 students and yet it fells as though there’s 1,000. The classes are small and the professors are willing to help and they actually know your name ! If you want a small college feel in a big college setting, Southeastern is the place for you!

Of all colleges I visited and considered in Louisiana (including LSU, Nicholls, ULL, UNO, Tulane, and Loyola) Southeastern is the only one where they remembered my name, were responsive to telephone calls with questions, and they genuinely seemed to want my business. I graduated and am now sending my child to school at Southeastern. Southeastern is the ONLY University in Louisiana with international recognition for their recycling and renewable energy development.

I can’t say anything about undergrad but I am getting my masters in organizational communication here and I love it! It is a bit of a commute from NOLA but the professors are flexible. I even had a prof meet me in Mandeville to take a midterm.

This university is so bent on money raising that they sued a alum’s estate to take her home from her widowed sister. We read it in the paper. People need to know how they raise money and what they do with it. Guess they are paying lawyers a lot to get a lady’s house in the middle of no where. Southeastern looks greedy and pathetic. Glad we went to LSU.
