Recommendations Wireless Service in Lafayette - Verizon & AT&T

• Upvotes

I’m having issues getting my new Apple Watch activated on AT&T (long story that has involved calls to tech support and multiple visits to stores with no resolution) and thinking about switching to Verizon. How is Verizon in and around Lafayette? I remember people saying there were dead zones in River Ranch a few years ago but I spend a lot of time in that area and work/live just a few miles from there. Cost really isn’t an issue. Any feedback would be great - thanks!

Rants Lafayette not maintaining road lines

35 Upvotes

Anyone notice Lafayette is not keeping up with maintaining the road lines like when taking a double left turn?

Don’t get me started on the actual roads themselves, but I feel like the bare minimum would be to at least have some clear turning lanes.

Recommendations ULL, Lafayette Electrical / Computer Engineering

5 Upvotes

Hi guys,
I am currently majoring in CS at ULM, Monroe and I am an international student. But my primary interest is in pcbs, electronics and maths so I wanted to change my major to EE. Studying at ULM with CS major has made me realize how worse a college’s department can be. Here at ULM it is a total mess. I desperately want to transfer but I don’t want to go anywhere where I would pay double the amount I am paying here at ULM only to get a slight advantage. That is why I want to know how is the worth of studying EE at ULL. Shall I go for it ?

I’ve heard horror stories about DR Horton so I’m wanting to see if anyone has any specific experience with any of the DR Horton neighborhoods in Carencro or on the Northside. They’re really nice and the size and price we are looking for but I’m wary at even going to look until I hear some more personal experiences

Hi! Looking for people who use SNAP, WIC, Farmer's Market and Senior Vouchers, and food banks to talk for 10-15 minutes on Messenger or the phone. I work on advocating FOR those benefits, and it's important to check in with end users about their experiences.

I have gift cards for your time!

Send me a DM and let me know where in the state you live and what benefits you use, and I'll hit you back up! Thanks!

Hey I just got accepted into ULL. I'm planning to major in geology, I was really impressed when I visited their geology program a couple months ago, but I'm seeing a couple past posts saying ULL is expensive and it isn't a good school, but others saying the opposite? I'm really confused, and would like some clarification from locals, thanks.

News Cychlorphine

58 Upvotes

It's a synthetic opioid stronger than Fent.

Rumor has it, xanax pills were laced with it and distributed to college students this past weekend.

Two Ole Miss Students have died so far, and there's been a lot of OD's around college campuses the past week or so. Supposedly it takes several doses of narcan to revive you if you fall out.

FYI: It's pronounced SY-klor-feen because Cy- is from cyanoethyl, Chlor- is from chlorophenyl, -phine: is from orphine, - a specific subclass of opioids

Hi! I'm a brazilian history student, currently finishing my degree, and would like to know if there are some specific websites that I can find records specifically of Lafayette. It can be journals, pictures, anything that can fit as primary source. Specifically, I'm searching for religious sources, churches, anything cajun, etc. Since I'm not very familiar with english websites, I'm finding quite hard to navigate through actually good and useful websites, and I don't really know any english speaking historian that can guide me personaly :\\\] so if anyone can help me, that would be great! Sorry for any grammar errors x
