| Frequently Asked Questions |
| |
| Where is UL Lafayette located? |
| |
| |
UL Lafayette is situated in Lafayette, which has a population of over
100,000 residents. Lafayette is the heart of Cajun Country, an area of south
central Louisiana settled by French exiles from Nova Scotia. The Cajun culture
is characterized by its joie de vivre, or joy of life, and those who adopt
the Cajun lifestyle typically work hard and play hard. Festivals held throughout
the year provide an excellent arena for cultural celebration. Springtime
in Lafayette is the season for the Festival International de Louisianne,
the festival that features musicians from French speaking countries around
the world. At UL Lafayette, you can experience a similar joie de vivre! |
