Southern University is a great HBCU for any person of color that is looking for their second home. Being surrounded by like-minded people made my experience amazing. I always felt that since they were a smaller school (small class sizes), your professors are able to connect with you on more than just a surface level.

While going to the school it was the middle of covid. The experience I had at the time was terrible due to the matter of the world. After the world opened back up my experience was a little better. I felt as though all we did academically was learn equations to put into excel and that was it.

Degree: Nursing
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... Read More

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... Read More

Overall, Southern University and A&M College is a great institution. I received a great education, met great people, and became family with people in my department. Southern has a family vibe once you get comfortable. Everybody knows everybody and they are willing to help you with anything if you ask. I love my alma mater and wouldn't change that for anything.

I love my school. I was able to meet people easily and also was able to contact my professors and ask questions in class. My school help me grow mentally, spiritually and education wise. I become confident in myself as well did others. I joined a sorority and met amazing people. Now ill be attending the University of Southern California in fall 2017 and Southern University helped me with that.

The Nelson Mandela School of Public Policy at Southern University and A & M College is great for graduate students especially interested in a public service career. The program affords networking opportunities with public servants in key positions from states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida down to Washington, who bring practical knowledge and experience to class and opportunities for other students to participate in.

Southern University is the epitome of an HBCU in the form the true College Experience. I could go on and on about the fried chicken and red beans every Monday or the fun festivities that take place every Pretty Wednesday in the Student Union but what really makes the Jaguar Nation amazing is the rich culture incorporated into the learning environment in and out of the class rooms. Nowhere else will you find such fantastic vibes of academic excellence. You learn from professors who also went there... Read More

Southern is a great school for an ambitious student. Less ambitious students can potentially get lost in their programs. The registration process is a bit frustrating until you have done it a couple of times. The engineering program, while challenging, left us wanting when it came to real world application, labs, and licensing prep.

The small class sizes allows for a lot of personal interaction and one on one development between graduate students and professors. Additional Southern University has a very active Alumni base that is ideal for networking. There are administrative areas and outdated technological resources that could stand to be improved.
