Lamar University is a rapidly-growing institution that distinguishes itself by its commitment to providing a well-rounded education to every student that passes through its halls. While many of the university’s academic facilities have earned high praise from national publications, the engineering program in particular is consistently ranked as one of the best in the country, specializing in training students to participate in Texas’ huge energy and chemical industries.
Lamar occupies a mostly residential corner of Beaumont, about four miles southeast of the city’s historic Downtown district. Apartments, condos, and rental houses within easy walking distance of the campus tend to be quite affordable, with many units available for under $700 per month.
For your off-hours, downtown is full of great things to do. Suga’s Deep South Cuisine and Jazz Club is a local favorite, serving up southern favorites like shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and Pecan Waffles with live music on the side. Houston is only about an hour away, putting all the attractions of America’s 4th-largest city at your fingertips.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
