Southern University and A & M College Rankings by Salary Score™

My senior year of high school I had it set that this is where I wanted to go, specifically to cheer and be in the nursing program. Once I got here I hated it and was extremely homesick even though my home isn't far. Southern doesn't feel like home to me more like a burden. If you're coming here for nursing just pick another school, I promise you you're not missing anything. This school is money hungry to the extreme. The nursing school isn't the best fit, I don't know about any other majors here but the nursing... Read More school is not it. I could go on and on. Yes, I know every school has their flaws but this is to another level, these things I pointed out is just the tip of the iceberg.

At Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I received a bachelors degree in Biological Sciences. I thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience that the institution provided for me. Everything from student activities (football games, college band, social activities) to classes and educational opportunities have been important in shaping my future. I had the opportunity to participate in the college band for all 4 years of my undergraduate matriculation, and it afforded me the opportunity... Read More to form relationships in an organization and continue my love for music, all while representing my institution on a national level. I had the opportunity to be a part of the Honors College during the 4 years of my matriculation, and this provided for me opportunities to participate in biomedical research and create and approved thesis. As a student in the College of Biological Sciences, I had an overall good experience. However, as a pre-medical student while being there, I now feel that I was not properly prepared for my career choice in comparison to other students from other institutions around the country. I feel that some professors were not supportive in us reaching our goals of becoming a physician; however, there were other professors who were very helpful. I also believe that some courses were not rigorous enough for us to be competitive students in our respective fields. There were also issues that stemmed from changes in leadership that caused issues with student life and fees; however, I believe that the institution is more stable now, and this should no longer be an issue for others.
