I recommend that if you want to cater to disabled students with the 'UL Life Program'.. maybe be a good idea to allow guardians or assisted guardians to drop off or help the students (in-nees) without harassing them about parking fees or tickets.

I graduated from UL many years ago, but it has had a lasting effect on my life. I had amazing professors, and the school itself was a blast to attend. I would love to go back, even this long after graduation, to learn and soak up every opportunity that this place provides.

The campus is beautiful and very safe, the people are friendly and hospitable and the weather is nice and warm. I loved getting my education here!

The University is great, the quality of education is excellent and the professors are top-notch. There are several programs and research areas that are truly world-class. After graduating, I relocated to the north-eastern part of the US and obtained multiple job offers from Fortune 500 companies. I'm extremely happy with the way my career has progressed and owe a lot to the education I received here.

Get ready to work your butt off if you plan on going into the engineering (some great research opportunities**), nursing, or sciences colleges. Transportation services is a real pain. New union is beautiful.. the campus, overall, is beautiful. Size of school is big enough, yet small enough - perfect, in my opinion. Scheduling classes my first 2 years was a pain - REALLY do your research on the professors you choose, sometimes it's worth waiting an extra semester to get that good professor. Lafayette is truly a diamond in the rough; great culture, friendly people, local music (festival international!)

I toured this college several times before applying and being accepted, only to find myself in a nightmare. This college is NOT kind to first-time-away-from-home freshmen. Contrary to the campus tour, it seems most care is lost for the students once enrolled. I was given mostly uncaring professors (one of the classes I was assigned to was under a professor that did not even exist at the school.) I remember going to my math teacher during her office hours for assistance (very politely) with a problem and her response was a shrug followed by "I don't know" and ignoring me.

Possibly I just received the most awful luck as I only had one teacher who responded to my enthusiasm for learning positively. I threw everything I mentally had at these classes but the professors (that an adviser had signed me up for) put in NO efforts to teach me (with the exception of the one I mentioned.) Maybe in my later years this would be alright, but as a freshmen I was not in my element yet.
I attended a required speech, only for it to be announced that they were attempting to "weed out" students. If you weed your entire the garden the flowers will die, but the weeds will come back. With just a little positive enforcement I know I would have done well. I will never appreciate being sold 'snake oil' on the tour. Being told that this is a nurturing school only to be informed otherwise upon paying money to enter.

In addition, everything on campus closes at 5pm (the same time most classes end,) including tutoring and food chains. The grocery store is quite a drive away and anything to eat near campus is bar food or fast food (after 5pm.)

I know plenty of people that did attend and enjoy themselves but they were all locals to Lafayette or non-freshmen.
