What do you feel is special about Southeastern? 
Southeastern has amazing faculty and staff who really care about the students and are always willing to help them to succeed. The university truly has a family atmosphere. It doesn’t matter if the students are from Hammond or from another state, they will always feel at home.  

Why do you think students should choose to attend Southeastern?

Although Southeastern has over 15,000 students, the university keeps the classes small with around 30 students in each. Students have an opportunity to develop a better relationship with their professors and other students. There are also numerous organizations that students can get involved in and really stand out on campus
