Nicholls is a hidden gem. Most people that comes here are local people from the surrounding areas. The students are like a family, they all get along. Parking on campus is a pain, but it eases up when the semester keeps going. The professors really care about the students.

This is the best university in the country!!! There is such a sense of community and family here. The professors want their students to succeed and there are so many opportunities that are available here. Everyone bleeds red and gray and we are never afraid to show our ONE PRIDE, COLONEL PRIDE!! There's no where else that I would rather be!!

I attend Nicholls for my Bachelor’s. I went in person for 2 years; then 2 years online. I absolutely loved my time at Nicholls. It is safe, and you are cared about. The professors will go out of their way to help you succeed. I would definitely receive my Master’s here.

Campus is great! Love the overall atmosphere. I am not super social and I find it easy to get along with others. Majority of instructors truly care about you. Just check ratings before enrolling in courses. Only complaint I have is parking on campus is bad sometimes. It really is worth the price! GO COLONELS.

Thibodaux LA definitely not a desirable city for college. Its a 1 hour drive to New Orleans and a dangerous drive with the backroads.
