Southeastern Louisiana University Reviews

"Southeastern Louisiana University is a highly underrated haven for academia. Being a smaller university, there is more opportunity to be recognized as an individual and not just a number. The faculty and staff all genuinely care about the students who attend, and they want to help students succeed in any way possible."

"When I lived in Louisiana, Southeastern Louisiana University (or Selu) was the college that fit me best. Southeastern is in a town between New Orleans, and the state capital, Baton Rouge. Although Southeastern was considered a commuter school, I met some of my best friends there. The students and locals I interacted with on and off campus were polite and embodied the spirit of southern charm. As a psychology major, I was able to build rapport with my professors. If you are looking for a university with great education and an atmosphere that embraces growth, Southeastern Louisiana University will be the school for you.Read Less"

"Southeastern has had one of the most renowned education programs in the state. The professors were willing to go out of their way to provide assistance to their students, but in the same breath, they always held students to a high standard. My brother went to a prestigious university in New Orleans and graduated in music education. His content knowledge was very strong, but for the first three years of teaching, my brother struggled with aspects of classroom management (discipline, withitness, rapport, etc.). These were skills in which Southeastern's educational programs and professors made sure students had a strong foothold.Read Less"

"Southeastern is a great school with knowledgeable staff that will help you with your goals. I have been to LSU, and BRCC, and once I came to Southeastern, I knew that it was the place for me. Southeastern has the professionalism of a full-blown university, but the simplicity of a community college. Although I did not personally take any, I do not remember seeing any freshman/sophomore classes with the size of a university like LSU (close to a hundred people in a classroom!!) The vast majority of the classes in Southeastern are smaller, and manageable. If you put forward the effort, your teacher will remember who you are, and will be willing to work with you.Read Less"

"I enjoyed school. I wish I had continued while I was at the point in my life where I did not have responsibilities. I also would try without student loans."

"I have no complaints about SLU. I received a rigorous, well-rounded education. My master's degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders was the top in the state and was very selective. I was very prepared for the workforce upon graduation."

"The curriculum for Southeastern's criminal justice program is closely related to their sociology degree. Many of the courses were seminar/discussion based rather than lecture. Because of this, as well as completing a minor in sociology, I can say I am well prepared for my future as a law student. Most of the faculty, including the department head, were helpful in guidance after graduation regarding employment. Overall quality of teaching by all of my professors was excellent."

"The classes were small and professors were more than willing to go above and beyond to help. The students were also there to learn, which always helps make the program more successful. There were many out of class projects to help relate in class lessons to real world activities. I would definitely recommend this program at Southeastern."

"The degree I received did not help me in anyway in my career. I am actually damaged from the loans. I need to get a masters degree in a different major to do well in my chosen career field. I am currently an office worker. I want to me a controller in my company. I will not be able to achieve this goal with out a masters degree."

"The nursing program at SELU is amazing. Not only do I feel I was a prepared nurse for the profession, but I feel it helped me grow and mature as an adult. The classes are not easy and do require some rigorous studying; however, at the end of the coursework you feel like you truly earned your degree. I would recommend this university to anyone looking for a great school and a great future."

"Great place, helpful professors and staff that take the time to really get to know you. You are a name here not a number."

"My overall experience of the Education Program at Southeastern was magnificent! Your class schedule throughout the program prepares you tremendously for your teaching career. The faculty and staff are always available for advice and helpful tips. My college career was truly a wonderful experience and I would go back if I had to do it again!"

"Love this program. The faculty and staff are amazing. Small class sizes which makes it a better learning environment. High employment rate post graduation. Great networking opportunities as well. The only con I have is I have to commute 45 min - 1 hour but that's not really a program issue. LOVE IT."

"SLU is an awesome school with one of the best Kinesiology programs in the country. Faculty and staff in the Kinesiology are top knotch."

"It was a great college with an excellent counseling program! The school is not too large so it feels more like a community and you are a person and not just a number."

"I am a woman in my mid-forties who has been teaching while earning a master's in Special Education. I will also be completing the additional 18 hour requirements for certification as an Educational Diagnostician at SELU. I have enjoyed the intimacy of the classroom environment within the Special Ed graduate program here immensely. The College of Education at this school offers a rigorous learning environment and provides relevant educational and field experience opportunities for students. I have accumulated a portfolio full of research files and artifacts that are useful to me in the real world, not just as a course fulfillment. The campus is located in a small city accessible to Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The campus' layout is well-organized, and serves as a host for many cultural events throughout the year for all ages. The social factor is really not relevant to me; I live 45 minutes away (the commute is interstate) . For this reason, I have truly appreciated my courses have been a pretty equal balance of on-campus:online . A difficulty that teachers experience with education is that we, by the nature of our occupations, promote continuous learning. I love my job! However, teacher salaries are a bit on the low side, and teaching tends to cost money when a teacher loves it; we always want to add flair to instruction! Advancing my education is taking a while, but is worth every semester and every penny. Assistance of any kind would be such a gift. Thank you for your consideration! Amy WolberRead Less"

"As a commuter student, I enjoyed my time at Southeastern. They offer many interesting classes, the staff & professors really care, and the textbooks are rent-able for the most part which saves money. Great college experience overall!"

"I have really enjoyed my graduate program at Southeastern. I have never felt like a "number" and believe that my professors genuinely care about my success. The work can be intense, but I like a challenge, and I believe the education that I am receiving is of the highest quality. The only drawback I have found with my program is the scheduled time for classes. Almost all of my classes do not begin until after 2:00pm. I understand however, that for the majority of graduate students, this schedule probably works better with work schedules.Read Less"
