Southern baptist extremist hicks

I dont think I have one positive thing to say about this school, who ever gave this school the grade of a B for girls is on meth 95% are fat and have yellow teeth the other 5% that are only about a 7 or an 8 and thats being VERY kind are wifed up or get ran through by all the black guys on the football team on top of all that you cant even bring them back to your room onto another subject the food is atrocious and fattening but apparently that doesnt matter in pineville,la if you enjoy letting loose on the weekends have fun driving to laffayette which is essentially a giant crack town and more than an hour away plus you do all this work for what is some of the worst bars and clubs i have ever seen.....since i was 15, the dorms are small and old and they flood whenever it rains the bathrooms are comunal and the showers cave in with mold the fatass linemen dont shower and leave staff infection on the toilet seats also the education you recieve is down right awful the teachers tell you the universe revolves around louisiana as if it couldnt be more the oppostie as LA is the only napoleonic state and that every historical figure was a devout lutheran good luck using this information in the real world although ive FINALLY found a positive the class sizes are great if thats all you care about along with jesus then you might have found a home here, if you aren't a southern baptist pure bread white jesus freak....DONT COME HERE!!!!

Fat & Ugly

95% percent of girls are fat and the 5% are only a 7-8 in the looks department...and thats being kind

God First,

One big thing Louisiana College focuses on is putting God first to achieve success.

Dining

There's not a variety of place to choose from when attending Louisiana College. Hattie B's serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to students living on campus and Grille Works in the student center is also available. If anything I'd prefer to eat off campus, the food may get old after awhile.

Whatever

You have to be 21 or a living with your parents if you want to live ff campus. Parking on campus is atrocious and a nightmare. Cost of dorms doesnt live up to what it should be.

Overall Ok.

They say the police are there whenever you need them. There is one cop car driving around at night. The girls dorms are poorly lit and are scary as heck to walk to at night because people could be hiding anywhere and you wouldnt know it. the whole campus needs to be lit up more.

Campus Is Safe, but I Wish There Where More Lights.

Overall, LC has a pretty safe campus. Campus security is present, and things like the Secura doors in Cottingham make me feel safe. But I really wish they had more lights at night, as it is very uncomfortable to walk through the dark, especially next to Cottingham Forest.

Pretty Good.

Even if I don't like what's being served, there's always other food to grab, and I usually do like what's being served, so no problem! The cooking staff is great.

This Shouldn't Be a Question

LA college is a Christian school, so while problems with drinking and drugs are present, these behaviors are not tolerated by the school. The problem is localized within groups. This is definately a good thing.

We Need More Activities

Night life could really be improved. We have some organizations, gatherings, and events every so often, but the interest level is generally low. It is also hard for commuters to go to the events at night and it would be nice if more mandatory events could be scheduled earlier and more fun events scheduled more often. People generally have to carpool or go together somewhere off campus because the local area is not well diverse for fun activities.

Sweaters, Swimming, and Sweating

The late part of fall and early part of spring semesters are chilly. Snow is extremely rare, but it gets cold enough for coats, scarves, and hats for several weeks. During the same season, rain is not unlikely, and students must don rainboots and pull out umbrellas. A common joke among students during these periods is "How was your wade/swim accross campus?" However, when the cold season is over, it typically shifts abruptly to hot weather.

Faithful and Adequate

I only eat lunch on campus on occasion because I am a commuter, so my reveiew pertains chiefly to that. At "Hattie B's," our dining service keeps fresh hot pizza, made to order sandwiches, and a wok for customized asian style food in service during lunch. There is fruit and salad always available, as well as dessert. There are also a varied daily "comfort food" items that typically include two meat choices, two starch choices, and two vegetable choices. I have not eaten there enough to know the rotation. However on my occasional visits, I enjoyed the food I ate. The other campus eating option is The Den, where you can find fast food items like burgers, fries, chicken, or quesedillas. Den food tastes really good, but is extremely (heartburningly) greasy.

Great Scholarships

Scholarships are easy to get at LC if you're smart and ask the right people. It just takes a long time in registration line if you have a loan, but you can definitely afford this school if you work hard.

Greek Life

What Greek life? LC had a couple of sororities/fraternities, but none of them are active any more. There is no Greek housing.

LC Athletics

Football - winning season this year

Basketball - men's: ok, Women's: winning season

Softball - great team

Baseball - pretty good

Soccer - ahh... just ok

Golf, tennis, and cross country - Don't hear much about them

Fan Support - everyone is behind the teams, especially when they are winning. The most school spirit is at football games, followed by basketball.

Athletic facilities - a new football field/stadium was just completed, and the football complex (locker rooms, bathrooms, etc) is in the works.

Small campus community

The campus is small and very warm and welcoming. There is rarely anyone who does not have friends or does not feel accepted.

Student Center

The student center has just been remodeled, so that part is nice. The gameroom has had major improvements as well. Unfortunately, The Den is not always open and their food supply is always short. There should also be a way for students to get internet in the student center so they can do homework.

Plenty of Computers, but Slow

There are lots of available computers on campus. However, they can be very, VERY slow, which can be quite frustrating when you're on a deadline.

Campus Quarters

The dorms and apartments are in need of improvement, but the atmosphere is quite pleasant.

This Campus Is One of the Safest Places I Have Ever Been.

I have seen students leave purses, backpacks, books, and other personal items in classrooms or the cafeteria, and then go back the next day and find them right where they left them. You can't do that just anywhere!

Social Lives

My college is very strict. It is a private Christian college, so they try to instill good values in us. They do not let girls and guys hang out in rooms together unless the lights are on and the doors are open. If you got caught doing drugs or drinking they will most likely kick you out!

Biology Major

I absolutely love my professors. They are very nice and will meet with you anytime you need help on a certain subject. My school has a very good science program, so the classes are hard. But I know they will pay off in the long run.

Financial Aid Process

I was eligible for work study, so I had no real financial aid problems to deal with. They do offer a plan where you can pay your tuition monthly instead of in one huge sum and that is very helpful!

My Experience So Far

My experience has been great. I love the classes, and the teachers are really nice. They are always helpful when you get confused. There are no parties because it is a Christian college, so we worship God and focus on our studies.

Guys and Girls Have Manners

The people here are so nice. I never have to open a door for myself because the other students are courteous and will hold the door open for me. I get greeted every morning with a smile and a good morning from people I don't even know!
