  I feel really safe to study at McNeese in Lake Charles. Lake Charles might not be the biggest city in Lake Charles like Baton Rouge or New Orleans, but it definitely offers everything including entertaining places just like big cities. I find it easier for me to live in Lake Charles to study rather than bigger cities because it is less temptations for me to make sure that I can focus on studying most of the time. However, there are still a lot of places for students to do at weekend like the movie theater, where is only about 10 minute-driving from the university. Near McNeese is a lot of fast food places to help students grab something to eat or hang out with friends between classes. For example, McDonald's is opposite the school, or Raising Cane's is 3-minute-walking from the university, and Subway, Burger King, etc. For groceries, there is Albertson stores, Walgreen, and other convenience stores like Circle K, so even if students live on campus, they can easily access to any kind of stores to buy necessities.

  Tell us about Lake Charles

  McNeese State University is located in one of the largest cities in Louisiana called Lake Charles. Lake Charles is a city that has very welcoming people residing in it. The transport link that I have used mainly in Lake Charles is Lyft, a transport company, which has reasonable pricing because most of the places in Lake Charles are in close proximity with each other. There are stores that are within walking distance to the school, and the ones that are farther from school, Lyft is the way to go or even online shopping. I am not really a nightlife type of person, however, I know there are options in Lake Charles. Although the city was hit with a lot of natural disasters, the people didn't let it get to them, rather they are still very hospitable and nice to foreigners.
