- Support for International Students: There are many programs to support the international students; they have a great ISO office, which is run by international students themselves. ISO was available 24 hrs.
- Huge Amount of Scholarships: LU has a policy where they try to offer 99% of international students scholarships based on their GPAs. Most of the international students get 50% of the scholarship in fees.
- Location of University: LU was located in a mid-sized city called Beaumont, Texas. In Beaumont the cost of living was cheap. Most of the students' monthly expenses do not exceed $750, including housing, food, and travel, which is great for international students.
Dislikes
- Campus Jobs: Due to the greater number of international students, most of the students don't get on-campus part-time jobs.
- Tech Jobs: Beaumont has a lot of industries, so for students who are aiming to get into big tech, it will be a drawback. Need to move near metro cities after graduation, like Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
- Research Work: Due to its low rank in research institutes, students don't get more funds for research.

- My college has multiple campuses, which are LU Main (Location: 4400 MLK Parkway, Beaumont, Texas, 77710). Lamar Institute of Technology (LIT) (Location: 855 E. Lavaca, Beaumont, Texas, 77705. (Located in close proximity to the main Lamar University campus). Lamar State College Orange (LSCO) (Location: 410 Front Street, Orange, Texas, 77630). Lamar State College Port Arthur (LSCPA) (Location: 1500 Procter Street, Port Arthur, Texas, 77641).
- On campus, there are many facilities like the library, the Rec Center, the open Rec Center, and the student health center, and there is also a police department for safety and on-campus shuttle services. Almost all the major festivals will be celebrated on the campus, such as Diwali and all other international festivals. And it has 100s of clubs, which will include sports clubs, art clubs, etc., where everyone can participate and get certifications.

- I have opted for off-campus; I have found my accommodation through my seniors. And here in Beaumont near the university, we get a lot of options to stay close to the university. My monthly shared room cost me 450 per month, including the current bill, gas bill, and maintenance cost. I haven't had any issues finding and securing accommodation because of my connections with seniors.
- Based on my experience, I ask every future student to connect with seniors before coming to the US. Because it gives you an unfair advantage in figuring out things. My accommodation was within 1 mile of the campus, and most of the Indian students stay in Edge Apartments or University Drive Apartments.

- Organised online mode of study.
- How they conduct job fairs and build our connections on various other events
- Wide diversity of people, some are students some are working
Dislikes
- Nothing as such, just that they are not concerned about your presence in the class or you actively participating.
- Deadlined are tight. You will simply get a zero and there is no scope of correcting it.
- Sometimes there are people with arms and ammunitions that enter college we get to know through alerts.

They do have job fairs, LU day and some alumni meet-ups. These events enhance connections and hence an opportunity to build up your career. Also, they have proper graduation ceremonies. There are alerts for anything extraordinary going on at the campus.

- I have seen accommodations in the vicinity of colleges and universities.Mostly apartment systems are there but sometimes you can also find a proper home.
- It has a proper system where you submit your resume and documents to get the accommodations.
