Reviews of McNeese State University (University)

DARYL BLACKMON

State University with many majors offered and an expanding campus. Associates, bachelor and masters programs. The new parking garage makes parking much easier.

Nikki Schannette

I love this school! I'm from out of state but I moved here just for McNeese. The only bad things are the prices in the bookstore. They are outrageous and the buy backs aren't nearly enough for what it's worth. Also, the cafeteria food is terrible and WILL give you food poisoning, so be careful. The coffee places are great and so is the new library!!

I visited this school to take an exam since I live in Houston currently. The staff that I interacted with were helpful and friendly. Very quiet campus

Amazing school. Majority of professors push students to do and learn more. Helps make connections to get a leg up in your major/minor/concentration.

Senior just trying to graduate. I’ll start off saying I won’t be referring my children to this institution on the future. They care very little about their education and a lot about their athletics. I haven’t learned anything in the last 3 semesters, so I’m just paying for a piece of paper with my name on it. Not for a professor to teach me. I have nothing but hate for this horrible institution, I just want my piece of paper with my name on it that I have paid $50k for. Did you know mcneese is building a new campus police station? They have a perfectly good one on the mcndonalds side of Ryan street, im paying extra for that by the way. They will do that to you many times too if you go to this university.

A lot of classes’ ACs don’t work so it’s too hot inside that I can’t even focus. The books in the bookstore are overpriced. Also it’s really bad for engineering majors they have very few instructors and the labs and workshop are poorly equipped. The library closes very early. Also, the certification is very broad you don’t get Mechanical Engineering for example instead it’s just “a bachelor in science with a major in engineering” I recommend avoiding it and go to a better one even though I graduated from it.

Really school and nice environment

David Hill

They're rebuilding and bringing good work to the town

1 letter off but still a great place

Korey Chapman

Best University in the world!

Leslie Fletcher

It is small but no matter who you are you can find your niche at this school. Amazingly hardworking staff and coaches, great facilities for sport and very friendly students. Yes there are some things that could improve but it doesnt limit the students ability to achieve, and for the amount of government funding the school gets, they are doing a great job. If you're thinking about coming here, do it! I was skeptical at first, coming from overseas you have no idea whether it will be a let down or ok, but I have loved being at McNeese and have made so many friends and learnt SO MUCH! Teachers give me their time and are engaging and really care. GO POKES!

Graduated with masters in electrical engineering

My daughter graduated from there with her Maters Degree

ABA Program is remarkable. If you have a child that is in need of services for Autism, this is where you need to go. These are highly dedicated teachers. This Program works! Their techniques work! It's all been scientifically Proven. School is open year round, for those on the Spectrum. This is so needed with them.

Jennifer Baucom McCoy

Made a lot of money here????????

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. I've never actually wrote a review for anything before but this university has been so frustrating since day one, that I had to say something about my bad experience here. This university is the closest university around to where I lived (30 minute commute) and is by far the worst most frustrating experience i have had with a school. Instantly ran into problems with them from the time i applied to this school and still after I left this school which was over a year ago. The classes and teachers were good, but i'm giving this place 1 star because of all the technological frustration with this place. Complete waste of my time attending this school when I run into problem after problem still. I can't even request my transcript because they claim I have an administration hold on my profile that prevents me from requesting transcripts. I paid off this fee days ago so now part of the website says that I still have this hold on my profile and another part of the website says that my debt is paid. That's only one of the many problems I have encountered with this school. Glad I am not attending anymore. Everyone else i knew that attended this college didn't have a good experience either but had to attend because it's the only university around. I just want to dissociate myself completely from this place.

Ricky Gros

A first rate university that prepares students for various career fields.

JOEY FROGGER

Pleasant staff, clean atmosphere????????.

Seyi Anjorin

Good for the most part, some of the professors are rude and mean for no reason.

Brent Mills

I am a student there. It's not a bad school. Lots of students parking usually full in the morning.

Jamie Vincent Chaisson

I graduated from McNeese State back in 2005. Very competitive environment helps form better professionals, and citizens. Great staff, reasonable value, and that personal touch that many other places lack. Go Pokes!

Alyssa Ardoin

Need to work on some of the professors, they don't care about the students education and learning, they're only there for the Money. I am a graduate from Mcneese, and I see that the University went downhill. I ask the new president to go and watch and monitor some of the lectures and rate them, and make decisions base on that. 30% of the professors must go to make McNeese a much better university.

Kevin McNease

Went to McNeese back in the 80s. Their professors where amazing.

Karen Primes

Comfortable atmosphere here.

I was a student in the Mass Communication program at McNeese for two years, and I can honestly say that it was a waste of time, and I didn't learn any skills that helped me find a job in the mass comm field. Yes, I found one, a good one, but it was because I knew someone high up and he helped me! None of the four professors in this program knew anything or knew very little about television production. In the only production class offered at this school, Mrs Chere Breaux, the teacher was hated by all of us. She knew nothing about editing- nonlinear or linear, studio cameras or anything dealing with the technical aspect of television production. We mostly just sat in there and watched television. I mostly watched football highlights online, she grades hard, but cant teach or explain anything. Dr Chrisco, a racist in my opinion said many racist charged comments towards me about my dark skin, and in front of the class and even in her office. I asked her some questions about television production, and she could not answer any of them. She is scared of all black people now, because years ago, she picked up two black guys hitch hacking and they robbed her at gunpoint, now, she believes that all black people are robbers and bad people. You will see what I mean when you get into her class. Dr. John Condo, easy class, you will just sit in there and listen to a speaker, no homework or test, you will get an A, but long term, you will be upset because you will not be able to find a job because you didn't learn anything about television production! Lake Charles is a racist area, and the campus and local police are racist, and will harass you often! Many black students before I went there, told me that they are racist there, and I didn't believe them, but I went got there, I found out that they were telling the truth. You will see it. DON'T GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN AN ADVANCE LEVEL OF TELEVISION PRODUCTION!

Dommar Hijazi

Obviously they don't allow their true ratings to be posted. Horrible Post Office! I ALWAYS have to go pick my packages up. If it doesn't fit in my mailbox I don't get it until I go pick it up from them. They will NOT get out walk to the door and place a package down or ring a doorbell. Not to mention they NEVER answer the phone.

Richard Edwards

Geaux Pokes ! Lol I hate it here. Has nothing to do with the school itself though. Just boring in Lake Charles.

Susan Clark

Dr Soileau and this department are top notch.

SueAnn Mason

Mcneese alumni here and there are just as many friendly helpful people as when I attended

cody keller

I was never able to obtain employment with the degrees I obtained from this university. The people there ignored me when I tried to get information about it.

Mohammad Alamrad

Best school ever! I haven't met one student yet who didn't love it. It's a school that's big but small enough for you to know people and your professors might a actually remember your name. Everyone is humble and understanding. In a way, you can say it's like family.

DANA BROUSSARD

Isle of McNeese and haven't gotten two degrees fromthere. The nursing, education, and engineering departments are amazing as well as all the others.

Arielle Nonette

Overall it’s a good school for the amount of tuition you pay. You have to stay plugged in and active in order to fully advance here so stay on top of student life and campus involvement. This also gives you avenue to do better in class then you would riding through college doing the minimum.

Barbey Scott

Amazing experiences and education for an amazing price. GEAUX POKES! ????????

Great block party. Great support for the Cowboys! The bands last week were amazing. Charlie Wayne band was great. He put on a fantastic performance. Then came Gyth Rigdon and his amazing band. He was fantastic. Backed by a great band. He brought it on. Great people and awesome families.

Colin Soileau

Great campus! My daughter is in her sophomore year a great university in a small town. The ability to achieve her academic goals and pursue her career and be right at home is a wonderful thing both personally and financially.

Took my 15 yr old daughter to the HS meet & it was very put together & organized!! ????
