Southeastern Louisiana University

I am a student at Southeastern Louisiana University in the small town of Hammond. The town is cute, slower paced with some bars and a "club" for those who have to party every weekend. Anyway, the school is mediocre. I actually transferred here from Delgado community college. My math classes didn't transfer with me. The main thing that really screwed me up was the fact that I was NEVER informed that transfer students are automatically put on financial aid probation. So when I didn't pass my remedial math class, I was put on financial aid suspension and I couldn't figure out why this was happening. I dealt with this problem for nearly a year. The financial aid staff seem to be completely incompetent. The older woman that is usually behind her desk in the financial aid office always walks out when my husband and I come in. She's often on Facebook, as are the student workers and acts pissed off when she has to do her job. The first math instructor I had stated that "you all probably know this already" our first day in class and never truly taught. I had a 3.3 GPA when I transferred and it quickly dropped to a 2.9. It feels like the rest of the student population are simple nitwits coasting on D's. Which is why there is so much red tape to cross. I've had a few wonderful professors who really enjoyed the subject they were teaching and where exceptionally knowledgeable. Overall, if I had the choice I would not be here. I wouldn't even be in Louisiana if I could afford it. And don't get me started on LSU. What a joke.
