Xavier University of Louisiana

Xavier University of Louisiana was founded by Saint Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. The university has a diverse learning and teaching environment that incorporates research and community service.

Expensive. Made some really good friends here, but I don’t like that the school treats freshmen like middle-​schoolers! You are given a schedule instead of being able to make one, and you have to meet with your adviser to be approved for the courses that they’ll let you take. The chemistry classes have a three hour «drill» every week where you go to take quizzes… it’s basically a forced study hall. The hour long freshman orientation every week was also a complete waste of time. I only stayed here for freshman year, so maybe it gets better after that…
There’s a ten minute break between classes and if you are in the main building and your next class is in Xavier South, you better put your running shoes on! It’s a ten minute walk to get there and that’s not including getting into and out of the buildings. There’s also minimal parking. Get to classes early if you plan to have a parking spot that’s not across the canal. The XU police are awesome.

I’m an alumni at Xavier university. Everyone is friendly here. I’m looking forward to visiting my professors again.
