  Overall school rating 3/5

  The engineering department has absolutely horrible professors, but if you manage to make it through then you are almost guaranteed a job after you graduate if you take advantage of the many internship/coop opportunities along the way. So many opportunities you wouldn't get at a huge university. Smaller class sizes, individual help and attention, amazing Greek life, fun clubs, lots of student involvement. Great professors. I wouldn't transfer for anything. ...Continue reading

  If you want to focus on your studies with few distractions, LU is the place to go. There were always more computers that were broken than there were available. The internet is down more times than I'd like. However they put in a new system over the summer so hopefully it will be more reliable. Also, the food is mediocre. ...Continue reading

  Overall school rating 3/5

  The cost of tuition is less expensive compare to most college (pretty affordable). There are some great people and professors here, and they award many scholarships, but much of the school looks as if it hasn't seen construction since 1975 it's in Beaumont, which essentially smells like an oil refinery inside a paper mill and it's in a bad neighborhood. Be warned, there's NOTHING TO DO HERE! No selection as far as food unless you are a millionaire... There's either Subway, the dining hall, or a bar which costs a small fortune to buy anything on the menu which you get tiny portions and doesn't taste that good anyways. No places to just sit and relax. Not very kept up with. Just blah! ...Continue reading

  Lamar is a great school for those who want that family feel. It's an excellent choice for any degree, but you'll love the opportunities the Education, Engineering, Nursing, and Sciences departments offer. I haven't seen any major problems yet. The dorms are nicer than most. I wish they had more food options like other universities but they have 4 eating places. Overall i like it so far but wouldn't graduate from here. ...Continue reading

  Lamar is really what you make it. Has lots of great professors and programs. Also, there's a lot of new money coming into the campus so lots of new buildings are popping up. The best part is that you get a quality education without paying an arm and a leg. Tuition for a 4 year degree comes out to about $75,000 give or take, much less than A&M or UT. ...Continue reading

  I grew up in Nederland, and being local was a big deal for me lucky Lamar is only a 15 minute drive up the road. They should give more attention towards certain departments and student activities, and create a tougher criteria for student admission. This would increase the overall quality of the student body, and allow for a more enjoyable experience at LU. ...Continue reading

  All the staff are friendly without it seeming forced, the campus is hit in miss with looks. It's close to a grocery store but most stores are across town. It's way closer to Nederland stores than to the Bmt stores. Most professors are really helpful and kind. I don't recommend any online courses they tend to overwhelm you on the work. Not that much to do around town but I think the teachers are awesome. The neighborhood could be a little better. Like just the other day a store had the window shot out by some crazy man.

It's so boring around here, I genuinely hate this place on weekends. Thank God I'm graduating in a year! I regret coming here, but at least the classes are easy and teachers help you. Lamar is NOT the best school out there. It's just OK! No car=screwed! The dining hall sucks. Good luck trying to find something to do on the weekends,because it becomes a ghost town on campus. So many people from Beaumont go there and say it's Great, lies! There just used to it. If you're from the city don't go here. Just stay away. ...Continue reading
