Deke - 12/18/2023

I am currently a freshman in Langston University. I started showing up campus during my junior year of high school. I would say that Langston is pretty good. The class sizes that I had were pretty small which helped in understanding the content that teachers taught. Not only that but thanks to campus being small I was able to get my classes on time. Also my dorm had four people and they were pretty cool as we all had similar goals. I can't wait to finish my 2nd semester.

Amia - 06/09/2023

Langston has plenty of great professor and opportunity, however it's located in a very rural area, meaning everything is at least 30 minutes away. The cafeteria food is a 6/10, but they have their good days sometimes. Housing can be difficult to acquire and in some cases it is very unprofessional. There are parties every Thursday, so if you like to get out, that's a plus for you.

mycheal - 11/14/2020

Langston is a beautiful campus with beautiful people and wonderful academics everyone is there to learn but also make life long friendships. Langston the home of the L U lions. we are a pride of lion seeking education and better opportunities in life.

Jahmiila - 08/08/2020

I have enjoyed my visits on campus, meeting students, sitting in on classes and going to homecoming.

    Students who shouldn't attend this school should be those who are not interested in making a change for their own lives, those who are not willing to go further up ahead than any let down that they had experienced. In my response, everyone is welcome to come here to this 4-year institute but of course if students, adults or any people are not interested in it then, we should prefer to repest their own actions.

    I brag to my friends that this university as a community has become family to me. My advisor is very helpful with my classes and grades. My newly found roommates are the best. We've become so close in our first semester together. The professors provide help and understanding. The campus life and activities are fun but not overwhelming to where you can't fit studies in. I find it to be a very beautiful setting when I'm outside walking around campus. The school cost is very little with their help of scholarships and financial aid information.
