Is the stereotype of students at Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College accurate?

Kate

We do drink alot but we also go to class and make decent grade while doing it.

Ashley

Too some, not most.

Of course

Only to some extent. Many of the freshmen at LSU party a lot, but most of them drop out in about a semester. There are many VERY intelligent people here at LSU, professors and students alike. And yes, you will have to work for your degree: your first-year courses are typically easy, but after that one must put in some effort in order to succeed.

Meghan

In some cases yes, but our students can balance partying with outstanding academic achievements! LSU is so diverse, there are some people that don't drink at all and some who do every weekend.

Tyler

yes and no. the campus is really big, but certainly well laid out, organized and beautiful. there are a lot of party-ers because there are a lot of students and likewise a lot of nearby bars and nightclubs. classes are bigger and therefore attendance is rarely taken. there are a lot of classes that provide notes online (and most class notes are available on other note swapping websites), so yes there are temptations not to go to class. generally students who attend more often will do better on exams though!

Amy

To a certain degree. LSU does invest more funding into sports than academic programs. Instead of making LSU a leader in programs like film, the school chooses entertaining sports fans. LSU makes a lot of money off football. One can choose whether or not to party hard. A lot of students become alcoholics while attending LSU. However, choosing to let one's grades drop over too many parties is a student's responsibility.

Not all students drink and go out all the time.. If you're grounded enough in who you are, the temptation won't get to you. Depending on your major, it's not hard at all. I'm in mass communication and it's kind of a joke. Fun, but very easy!

Absofuckinglutely! We can drink any college under the table and do it with some class and hospitality.
