UNO is a commuter school, so chances are you might not get to make tons of friends. The privateer place apartments are really nice and for the price, I was really lucky to have one and had pretty good roommates. The education is pretty decent. I only had one discriminatory/racist marketing professor, but it'd be nice to say I didn't have any. The only way to get ahead and gain success with your degree is to get internships or co-ops and get work experience. I must say that some people I met there were pretty weird, but what can you expect? It's New Orleans.

If you are looking for an education in an urban setting, than UNO will probably be to your liking. UNO is largely commuter (most students live off campus) and that plays a huge part in the lack of active, vibrant campus life. Greeks and other clubs take backseat to the academic and structure of the university. This also is one of the main reasons that I feel the university is lacking in its accomodations to those who reside on campus. There is one dorm, and it is falling apart, and there are also apartments on campus that are nicer. Dining services don't cater to the residents on campus, and so on the weekends, you can only buy breakfast.Although UNO is a relatively large school, classes aren't extremely huge (15-20 students/class). My advice is to get to know the faculty within your department. I have come to feel as if my profs and advisors in the Poli Sci department are family. The faculty at UNO is more than willing to help, but in a large campus setting, I've found that you have to seek them out, and they will be ready to help. If you plan to live on campus (and I think that every freshman should spend at least one semester) bring your car. UNO is in a residential area of New Orleans, and you're going to have to drive to get places, although the public transportation system runs right through campus. The bottom line: UNO can be challenging and rewarding in the academic sense. For every other aspect of college life, it's up to you to determine what type of experience you'll have, because UNO serves it's main purpose, and that's the educational one.

UNO has a decent Electrical Engineering Dept.... I think. I learned so much stuff here that I won't learn elsewhere. I don't regret at all getting my Bachelor's Degree from this university. All coursework is challenging and I was challanged academically throughout my academic years. Teachers are super extremely friendly and accessible (at least in the EE dept). On the down side... UNO has a bad campus and the student life is not that great. But all in all, it's all worth it...
