 Kaylee Cole
Biology/pre-med major from Raceland
“I wanted a place I could call home, a university where people would care about me as a person, not just a student. As a pre-med major, I know I’ll be taking difficult classes, and at Nicholls, the professors are so willing to help. When it came down to making my college decision, I felt I could have more success at Nicholls.” |

 Keating McFarland
Culinary arts major from Mount Desert, Maine
“I looked at big culinary schools in the Northeast, but I wanted a change of scenery. Plus, I’ve been a trumpet player for 10 years, so I asked my guidance counselor to look for schools where I could pursue culinary and music. I love the atmosphere down here — great food, great music, diverse people.” |

Camille Comeaux
Biology/predentistry major from
Baton Rouge
“I narrowed my college list down to small schools, and when I toured Nicholls, I fell in love with how friendly the people were. It’s also neat because Gouaux Hall is named after my great-grandfather and its auditorium is named after my grandfather. I think they would be tickled to know that I’m now a Nicholls student.” |

Marina Lilly
Business administration major
from Dallas
“It came down to three schools, and Nicholls had everything I was looking for — a friendly environment, small class sizes and a successful women’s basketball program that wasn’t too far away from home but not too close either.” |

James LeBlanc
Finance major from Bourg
“I applied to two other larger universities, but I decided on Nicholls because of its affordability and its business school accreditation, which is a really big thing. I also own my own business, Elite Home and Lawn Care, so I’ll be able to continue doing that while earning my degree.” |

Tyler Chiasson
Athletic training major from
Morgan City
“After serving in the U.S. Air Force for six years, I worked offshore for a few months and then realized that I wanted to take advantage of my military benefits to attend college. Nicholls was not only close to home but also offered a welcoming environment for veterans — from social events to help with scheduling classes.” |
