Xavier University of Louisiana is one of the best schools in the nation. And I'm going to express why I can say this. I was from a BAD NEIGHBORHOOD in the BRONX gutta of New York. I did NOT want to leave New York. I did NOT want to leave the NORTH. and I did NOT want to go to a BLACK school. So for Xavier to make me proud I left, means SO MUCH.

Xavier administration vary. The teachers are great and supportive. The school itself has rules that keep you in check and the financial aid office keeps you on your toes. People who complain are not ready for the real world. This school teaches you how to stand up for yourself and pay attention to the fine print. You learn to read and read well, and not just take what is fed to you.
I learned that there is so much diversity within the Black community. You have all kinds of socioeconomic status, cultural ideas, religions, food likings, and even TASTES in music differ. It was refreshing to be greeted by so many accents. I had no idea how different people were state by state.

When Katrina happened and I went to New York University and The University of Illinois at Springfield for my "off semester" I appreciated Xavier so much more. I did not feel like a NUMBER at Xavier. People cared who I was. Even the JANITORS and CAFETERIA WORKERS knew me by name at Xavier and cared enough to give me a ride if they saw me u stuck at Bourbon Street. Xavier University teaches you how to time manage. You learn what you can handle and what you cannot.

I was NOT a good student in high school and skipped classes alot. When I got to Xavier, they kept me on my toes. I went to a party every weekend, had TWO part-time jobs and graduated with a 3.76 GPA - MAgna Cum Laude. I'm in love with Xavier for literally turning my life around. They turned this "ghetto New Yorker" into a sophisticated and articulate professional.
Anyone who has anything bad to say about Xavier did not spend their time their wisely. And if you don't believe me, ask the complainers what their GPAs are??? Ask them what extracurriculars they were involved in?? There are problems at every school. But only Xavier teaches you to be proud of being Black and being accomplished. My teachers were BLACK PhDs…I can't even find that in my GRADUATE school…
I love XU…and no one's unkind remarks can top my love for what I got out of Xavier.
