My favorite LSUA class/professor is...
My favorite class as of now is my Acedemic Success class with Dr. PJ. The class itself is fun and has created a bond between me and my classmates, my professor, and my student mentor. Every class period we have is fun and it feels like a small family. In addition, as everyone knows, Dr. PJ is the best professor on campus.
I chose LSUA because...
I chose LSUA because, as cliche as it may sound, it felt like home when I vsited for Spend The Day at A. Originally it was not my first choice as I was considering several schools, with LSUA being one of them. I decided to go on a tour to give it a fair chance and that was the best decision I made. I immediately felt like this was the college for me. I was impressed with the friendliness of everyone I met on the campus. I was drawn to the pleasant environment and the walkable campus. It felt like a place I could call home for the next four years. In addition, a few of my friends chose LSUA as well. Lastly, the campus is a driveable distance from my home. I am at the end of my first semester and as I look back, my decision in coming here was truly the best one I've made and I'm so glad to be a part of LSUA family.
The highlight of my college experience at LSUA has been...
The highlight of my college experience has been the incredible connections I’ve made with both students and faculty. The friends and mentors I’ve met are the reason I love LSUA so much. I’ve created unforgettable memories with people I didn’t even know before coming to this university. Building relationships with faculty like Mr. Caleb Funderburk and Mr. Ethan Lipsey has shown me just how special LSUA truly is. The genuine kindness and ability of students and faculty to make others feel welcome is something uniquely found here at LSUA.
My favorite spot on campus is...
I have two favorite spots on campus. The first would be the esports lounge. When not studying, I enjoy spending my free time in there. Everytime I'm there I have a smile on my face and the people in there are a tight knit group that are always making each other laugh My second favorite spot is the peaceful area where the swing sets are located near the quad. I love sitting in the swing set, under an oak tree, with a breeze blowing, enjoying the scenic view of LSUA.
