Explore the University

We are Ragin' Cajuns

Our students come from across the state and nation — and from more than 77 foreign countries. But here at UL Lafayette, we're all Ragin' Cajuns.

Community Spirit

As members of the campus community, we share great food and music and fresh ideas, too. Students are engaged in fun activities and interdisciplinary studies.

3,200 of us—including all freshmen—live on campus

Our campus is a neighborhood with riveting classes, energizing arts, ragin’ sports, and over 200 student organizations.

Join, serve, play

From AmeriCorps to the Ragin’ Jazz dance team, 26 Greek organizations to the Nepal Students’ Association, we have an organization for you to make a difference.

Enjoy Our Neighborhood

Before, after, and between classes, stroll beneath 100-year-old oaks or visit Cypress Lake, a managed wetland on campus. Just don't feed the alligators!

Pass a Good Time

Our Cajun culture embraces hard work and dedication, but we also like to play and enjoy time together. Dancing, music, and good food are always in abundance here. So come by and, as we like to say, pass a good time.

Something Extra

During Lagniappe Week, take a break from studying. Have some well-deserved fun and race across the lake. FYI: lagniappe means "an extra or unexpected gift."

Peel, eat, love

Lagniappe Week also means a serving of boiled crawfish. Every year, we prepare more than 15,000 pounds of Louisiana's tasty crustacean.

Red rules

We know the rules! Show your Ragin' Cajun spirit and wear red every Friday. Students, faculty and staff — just about everyone in town — are proud to wear red.

Hot Property

A major campus thoroughfare is known as Wear Red Avenue — just one of the hot spots on campus.

Every day is a red-letter day

That’s because our student-athletes are impressive competitors on the field and in the classroom. More than half have a 3.0 GPA or higher and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team has the highest GPA in the SunBelt conference.
