Don't expect too much of the people from south Louisiana, especially if they were born and raised there. They've never been exposed to anything else, but South Louisiana traditions. They are rude and will try to dominate you. And please don't expect a warm smile or "good morning", unless you've grown up or lived there most of your life. They actually believe that there's something owed to them other than just to breath. Most north Louisianans are more pleasant, but still limited in their views of the world in general.

This is opposite of anything I have EVER been told, seen and experienced. Really? WOW!

you know, Louisianians have cars and go other places too. I know thats hard to believe...I mean, we all wrestle alligators and eat raccoons, so we probably cant drive.

prene is right on the money about that. we what you see the goverment promises of "we take care of you from the time you born till you die" what a rude awakeing the people in New orlearns had as it flooded and the goverment did not help them or Read the other storm that hit southwest louisiana . people still not home from them storms I about a lot of them

It's undergoing some investigation (not criminal) to merge it with a HBCU located next to it. I'm looking to attend UNO in a couple years and hope something is figured out before I transfer. This isn't the thread for this topic though.

North Lousiana's Geographical landscape is dominated with rolling hills and forrests. South Louisiana is mostly dominated by flat land, marsh, and swamps. While both regions are beautiful, I personally prefer the landscape of Northern Louisiana.

As far as people are concerned, I found both north and south of the state to be equally friendly and welcoming.

They really are just as pleasant. We could say the same about northern Louisianans but it wouldn't be true, people are people wherever you go.

Ive been here in N Louisiana for about 3 months. I am from Lafayette (S Louisiana) I have friends up here so Im not going to dog N Louisiana to much. But I do have issues up here. I dont think N Louisiana is progessive as far as there way of thinking. Stuck in there ways as far as thinking outside the box a little bit. And if your a minority, your really gonna feel uncomfortable compared to S Louisiana. Even though there are alot of rural towns in both S Louisiana and N Louisiana, the South is light years ahead of the North. People look at you funny in North Louisiana if u talk different from them, personally I love it, but some people might have a hard time adjusting to it. Im not a fan of the "Ol South" So I really dont like it. But if your from Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, You will love it because to me its the same culture nothing specail to it. If you say tate-ors, instead of potatoes N Louisiana is the place for you. But im gonna keep giving life a chance up here lol because as much things Ive said in this post, there are alot of good people up here, and I am from Louisiana just like them so we all got to stick together...

I've been living in Shreveport for about a year now, but was born and raised in Lafayette. It's definitely not Cajun country here, but the people are very nice. I find about half the people here really cling to the uniqueness that is Louisiana culture and the other half wish they lived in Texas. I've only been to Monroe once, to visit a friend at La. Tech, so I don't have much experience there. I will say the country around Monroe is very pretty and there's lots of good hunting & fishing if you're in to that stuff. I'm not a big fan of the Baton Rouge/Hammond/Florida Parishes. Too much like Mississippi and Baton Rouge in particular has some very snobby people in my opinion.
