Matilda's Testimonial:
I joined UL Lafayette to combine studying microbiology and to waterski for the Ragin Cajun Waterski Team. I never regretted my decision to join UL Lafayette due to the friendly campus and invested professors. I think international students should join UL Lafayette because they would receive a warm welcome by both students and by the professors.
Personally, the food in Lafayette is enough to make you want to stay.
My biochemistry teacher, Dr. Wu Xu, inspired me to never settle for less when it came to furthering my education because he believed in my abilities. For this, I will always be thankful when I look back at my time at UL Lafayette.
I would advise future students to not be shy and talk to your professors if you have an interest in working in their lab. I participated in both the Ragin Cajun Waterski Team, as well as, the Biology Society.
What I loved the most about UL Lafayette was the engaged professors and the number of times I got to take classes with the same friendly students. Geaux Cajuns!
