Great university with dedicated accounting professors! Everyone gets what they put in. If you work hard and study, opportunities will come your way.

i love this campus so much it is a very friendly environment. I'm a commuter so I don't know the campus THAT well but I have grown to love this campus and the faculty since most people want you to succeed. As a freshman in college it was a very scary transition but OLLU allowed me to open myself up and meet new people that I really love to talk to.
Overall 4.3
This campus is so welcoming and active. There's always something going on and most of the time they are free events. Safety is a very big deal here and they do a good job at keeping staff & students well aware.

I loved OLLU. There was small classes, great people, and the university set me up for a lot of opportunity after graduation, in journalism.

Beautiful and historical campus where everyone knows each other. Small community where if you get involved, you will definitely succeed.

This university is very much involved with the student body. The professor are caring and very much concern when students ask for any advise. I started my eduction at two other universities and should have started my education here at Our Lady of the Lake University. If you decide to start your education here you will not regret it....

OLLU is amazing! I love the small class sizes & the fact you get to see familiar faces in the halls. Food is good just overpriced.

I'm in the nonprofit management master's program with OLLU and it is absolutely awful. I started the program in August 2016 and so far I haven't learned anything worth while or worth the cost. I regret giving my money to this university. Do yourself a favor and find a better place to get an education, anything is probably better than OLLU.

Transferred after my first semester!

If you prefer a small school seeing the same people every day then you should like this school. Staff is nice, but you have also have some very rude ones too.
Overall 1.5
This school is terrible. I haven't found anyone there who cares. Many pretend to care, but none really do.
Overall 1.8
OLLU is great if you plan to never leave SA, but if you're looking for an authentic collegiate experience, go somewhere else. The tuition is more expensive than Yale or Harvard, and you won't necessarily learn what you need for grad school. It is a beautiful campus, and many of the bldgs are beautiful, but most prefer a good education over beauty.

This school has a creepy old vibe. This is the only place who had my major in SA. If it wasnt for that I would not be here. Im attending school later than the average. If I were younger I would NOT come and I would NEVER send my kids here. This is def your average college experience type of school.

online classes are not good
