For the history buff, recreation enthusiast or naturalist, Louisiana schools and colleges offer a smorgasbord of options. What could be better than completing your career education in the French quarter? Within driving distance of most Louisiana colleges, you can find majestic plantation houses from the antebellum period. And this is to say nothing of the cuisine. Students at Louisiana schools tend to pack on a few pounds because the Cajun style cooking is incredible. With all these amenities, it?s not at all surprising that so many people (even northerners) decide to pursue their career education down in the Bayou.
