���APP�I want to thank Tommy Badon, Head Coach of the Track & Field Team. He is the main reason that I am here as he took a chance on me and allowed me to actualize my goals of completing my degree and seeing my athletic career all the way to the end. Coach Badon is not only concerned with athletic development on the track, but he is also legitimately invested in your overall growth as a person.���APP�

���APP�UL Lafayette is a great option for a graduate program because even though we are in higher-level classes, I still feel very involved with the school. We get to be involved with homecoming events, Get On Board Day, the Big Event, and even Mardi Gras events on campus.���APP�

���APP�The unique experience in the School of Architecture and Design studios begins day one and is encouraged as one of the fundamental building blocks in design. The studio collaboration affords the ability to view ideas from mixed cultures and personalities, aiding in the refinement and exploration of new ideas.���APP�

���APP�One positive attribute that I appreciate about UL Lafayette���APP�s Architecture program is the heavy focus on design. Typically, architecture schools lean towards either a technical or a design-centric approach. UL Lafayette, however, strikes a healthy balance of the two while maintaining a heavy emphasis on design and artistic expression.���APP�
