How bad is the living over there though lol. The fishing and women is nice bonus.
Apartments? |
Traffic in Lafayette sucks.
Good note, cousin is the pres of the U Don't know what that gets you or me, but oh well |
Lamar has a fishing team. And they beat big name schools all the time. Pretty cool a good friend of mine fishes for them. Qualifying tournaments on Rayburn or Toledo each yr.

Sure the women are amazing there, but what's BR got that Laffy doesn't! UL is dead center of Bass fishing heaven. Women I can't see a reason not to. |
Yes lafayete traffic blows but br is worse

Fool with your grades, if your ACT/SAT is high enough could you get a full ride to UT? The connections that I have seen longhorns have in the business community are significant and if you do want to party some like it sounds like you do, UT is commodity ranked as one of the top party schools in the country. The night life and women in Austin would not leave you disappointed if that is your thing. What a degree from UT brings to the table is that anywhere you go in America that education stands for something, it is known brand name.
I have no interest in MSU, ULL or even UT for that matter, just some advice from someone that has been in business community and I see it every day. If agriculture is interests you consider aTm. I am not knocking small schools, I am a small school product. That being said what I had to do and the road I had to take would have been much easier had I had a better pedigree. Good luck with your decision, there will be pretty girls wherever you go. Think about what you want to do after school and get the best education you can afford. |

I'm just spit ballin' here.
Realized today it's time to atleast get a some what idea of where I wanted to go. Plan to be an I&E Designer or something along the drafting. Eventually want to go out of country to other industries. Nothing is official just trying to get an idea. |

At the end of the day, how you perform and how motivated you are will determine your success not where you went to school. However for my kids, I want the best education I can afford and I want to give them every advantage I can possibly give them. I went to Southeastern in Hammond. No matter what any of us say on this thread a degree from SLU in Hammond or ULL in Lafy does not measure up to a degree from Tulane, Rice, UT or any of the more expensive schools. Is it worth it? That is a debate we could have for weeks and not agree. It will not be worth it to some people and it will to others. My point was if he can get a free ride, get the best free ride that he can get and then make the most of it. Do not pick a school because your friends are going there or becauase of what you think the girls will be like or traffic. Those reasons would concern me. Traffic is bad everywhere you go and girls are hot at every campus. |
Recent grad here of ULL in industrial technology with a minor in business and it wasn't bad major. It wasn't as intense as engineering but can still apply for a lot of the same jobs like project managers, drafting, safety, machining. You learn a little of everything I really enjoyed it and never had to stress to much about studying classes are pretty legit and easy to grasp a concept.
As far as women there are plenty women everywhere no matter which school and living around lafayette isn't too bad can find some decent apartments that will be furnished for not too bad. I'd say $500-700 maybe $800-900 at the most |
I say stay close to home, go to Ryan street high and have it easy there. Instead of spending all that time studying like you would at big schools, you can be huntin or fishin.
On another note, sowela probably has better drafting instructors than mcneese. |

Honestly, I enjoy Louisiana too much to leave. Hunting and Fishing. For my degree, I feel as if a smaller university would do just fine. I know several designers who went to MSU and make $$$. Odds of me getting a complete free ride to one of the major schools are slim to none. Honestly don't think I could stand being in a big city like Austin, just isn't my cup of tea.
The way I see it, aslong as I go get my 4 year degree, I have done well. UL > MSU due to me just wanting to leave LC and enjoy LAF. |

Texas as you know has a very large population of Louisiana folks, I have never ran into a single person from Louisiana that does not miss it, myself included.
|
Im graduating in Civil Engineering from UL this semester and have to say it is nice being able to make a trip fishing in the afternoon after class or a morning duck hunt before class. Its true there is women all over, but hit me up one night and Ill take you some places that will help you appreciate Laffy LOL!!
|
Lafayette is a great city and ULL is a good school depending on what you major in....
I graduated so long ago (1993 - Industrial Technology) it was USL at the time.... However, I am sure if go to ULL you will have fun and you are not too far from hunting and fishing spots. |

Their accounting department is not bad either, I have worked with some very smart professionals that went to ULL.

I finished ULL in 2004 in Envirironmental and Sustainable Resources. I lived at home. It was kinda easy. If you live in Lagayette for a few years, chances are you will not come back. Lafayette is so much better than Lake Charles, in my opinion. More restaurants, nice bars downtown, and very friendly people. It'll be a fun experience. And of course, the food is top notch. No comparison to SW LA.

I got a mechanical engineering degree from mcneese in 09. Small classes and a more personal teacher student relationship. Way better for actually learning something. Apposed to an auditorium listening to lecture on a loud speaker. Got a foot in the door job at a local plant and already have had great opportunities to move up. And still got Big lake 10 minutes away and sweetlake 30 minutes away. Can't beat it!
|
If I didn't have so much family in sulphur I'd be in Lafayette. I'm an industrial tech grad as well more jobs available as it centers mainly around the oilfield.
Lafayette sorta has a big/small town feel...great places to eat and good night life...hell festival going on right now is cool as hell |

Closer to better saltwater fishing and not to far from some good duck huntin makes hard for me to leave as well

Really if I could live in any city in LA it would be Laffy. It is just big enough and still close to hunting and fishing spots. Next would be Lake Charles. Sadly, I live in TRASHY BR....Place F-IN sucks...city has ZERO culture. |

And Lafayette has the ice gators if you enjoy watching hockey

I am at ULL and am about to finish my freshman year. I do enjoy going to school here. I am from metairie, which is 10 minutes from New Orleans, but i liked this school better than any around there. I do miss being able to fish and hunt when i like, but that is expected when you dont have access to the boat anymore. I think that you would enjoy it here. I can try to answer any questions about the school, but i have just been here one year. Oh, I forgot to mention that my major is criminal justice.

Its also finals week now so everyone is studying. Thats why im posting at 3 something in the morning.

Careful Chicken, them T-Sips can be mighty flakey. Hunters picks now are;Rice,aTm,LSU but out of state is dependent on a 32 on ACT. He is interested in the biotechnology fields and wants a more conservative student body, hence the exclusion of UT.

UL fa sho. Swear I saw a chick coming off campus a few days ago, she was an 11. And there are a bunch like that. I been alot of places and no where has beautiful women like Lafayette. U LC boys would crap your pants if u took a walk on ULs campus. Hell they got a swamp in the middle of campus that u could fish if u wanted to. That's why I didn't go to LSU. There girls are all stuck up and the nightlife is lame as hell. There is literally a at least one club in lafayette that will be full of hot women every day of the week. I graduated in 2006 in Business Management.
