I love LSU. For a southern school it is very cultured, but at the same time we are all one big family.

Due to the majority of the student body revolving around our football team, I would have to say that each football season is one of the most fun things every fall semester. LSU is most definitely a college town, and because of that, there are so many restaurants, shops, attractions to do or go to right within walking distance of the campus itself. LSU may be rather large in numbers, but I like the sense of community that it has. It makes the student body feel more close-knit while still allowing you the freedom to be a part of several different organizations and meet new friendly faces! One thing I'd change, though is probably the crime rate within the outer areas of Baton Rouge. Not that I alone can change that but if I could, I would. When I tell people that i go to LSU, the first response is "Geaux Tigers!" or "Oh, my relative/friend, So-and-So, goes there too!" To go along with that all, we have a TON of school pride, only heightened by football season in the fall and basketball & baseball seasons in the spring. There is ALWAYS something happening on/around campus each night and that is what contributes to such a conducive atmosphere when trying to meet/make new friends!

LSU is an amazing university! Our university is a perfect example of what school spirit looks like. The way students unite for sports is unbelievable. We may be all different types of people but we have one thing in common...We love our Tigers! LSU is somewhat of a college town but many families live here as well. When I tell people I go to LSU their eyes immediately brighten up and say "LSU?!!!? Do you love it?!" We have great school spirit, there is always something to do, and people can be friendly. Some cons of LSU would be the PARKING there is not enough parking for off campus students which really sucks at times. I will never forget the moment when I went to New Orleans for the National Championship to cheer on our football team to a national championship. Seeing LSU students walking around New Orleans we felt at home. A moment I will never forget!

I LOVE Louisiana State University. The best thing is the sense of community you feel living on campus. You get to know people through your classes, dorms, or even extracurricular activities, and that really helps with the transition from high school to college. If I had to change one thing about LSU, it would probably be the way the meal plan is operated. There are three places you can use your meals at during the week: Outtakes (Taco Bell and Papa John's), 459 Commons, and The 5. Sometimes the food they serve is good, but other times it's just not. The size of LSU is just right. Walking around takes some time to get used to, but the campus is beautiful, and the people are great. There is TONS of school pride. Especially surrounding the sports and education programs. We all love being LSU Tigers. The one thing that I will always remember is my first football game here in Tiger Stadium.The pride, noise, and atmosphere was just amazing. The most common complaints here at LSU are probably about the menus in the "cafeterias". Don't get me wrong. I'm not deliberately trying to criticize or anything. It's just that sometimes we have no idea what they're offering us. As you might be able to tell, my overall opinion is that LSU is an awesome place to live and learn.

There is definitely school pride amongst the students at my school. If I had to change one thing, I would try to find a way to make parking on-campus easier/ more available. I would definitely consider the area to be a college town since it is filled with apartment complexes and snack shops available to all. Everyone decorates stores and homes with the school colors and mascot symbol. It is hard not to be excited to go to LSU. Everyone takes even more pride in the school due to our well-known, talented football team; however, there is music, academics, volunteer opportunities, and Greek life available to all students as well.

LSU is a very good college with many great opportunities for students. However, just like any other college, it does have some negative qualities such as NO Parking! This generally causes problems in residential areas especially during game days when non-residents park on campus because it becomes extremely hard to find a parking spot close to your dorm. But LSU is very good with enforcing parking laws and they will give you a ticket and/or tow your car if necessary. To me, LSU is the perfect size school. When you first come to this school it seems to be too much and you wonder how you will ever find your way around this entire campus but once you start going to classes and walking around you will come to realize that it's not as big as it appears. I probably spend most of my time on campus in my dorm or in the student union. The student union is newly renovated and is extremely nice. There are many comfortable places to sit down and several dining options to choose from if you get hungry. They have a bookstore in there reminiscent of a typical barns and noble and they even put a red box in the union so you don't have to go all the way to the store. There is a lot of school pride at LSU, people go around with body paint, tag stickers to their car, and walk down the street chanting the LSU school spirit song. It can get a bit annoying at times but it's really kind of cool when you think about it.

The best aspect of LSU is the diversity of students. Rarely will you find a university offering such a wide variety of opportunity. The TOPS program is a marvelous idea theoretically; however, the way it is carried out is running our school to the ground financially. The school is only as big as your community within in; the more you get involve, the bigger your circle grows. I have yet to see a campus as beautiful as ours.

Jimmy

I think the best thing about the school is the integration of its campus in the community, but this is also something I would change. It is hard to keep people from soliciting to the students with this type of campus layout. I spend all of my time in the classroom. Some of the administration is there to focus on higher education but most of the administration is merely there to earn a paycheck.

It is a great atmosphere, a beautiful campus, a really fun place to be (depending on your major and work ethic), and there are some pretty remarkably good-looking women.

Abigail

LSU is a fun, exciting, and spirited college. Many degrees are offered and there's a large variety of classes to choose from. Even though LSU has over 30,000 students, clubs and organizations make the experience more personal and are a great way to meet people. Although the classes are large, Southern hospitality is abundant and people are really friendly. Professors are friendly, supportive and helpful for the most part. I think LSU is the right size. There's just enough people that you can always meet someone new! However, if I could change one thing, it'd be smaller class sizes. The large auditorium-sized classes can be intimidating, especially for a freshman. School pride is HUGE at LSU. Football is a huge deal, and Baton Rouge is a real college town. LSU is the main thing going on in Baton Rouge, so gamedays are super exciting. What's more fun than screaming at the top of your lungs alongside 90,000 other fans on a Saturday night?! During weekends and gamedays, LSU is filled with party atmosphere and there is always something fun to do. However, come midterms and finals week, the library becomes the central hub on campus for all students. LSU students know when to work hard and when to play hard.

My overall opinion of LSU is that it is an excellent school that teaches you how to be your own person. LSU is a very large campus and it hard to sometimes connect with others but helps you get out there and get involved. the university has many ways to condense the university into a smaller community and familiarize students with their colleagues, As a football school, we take pride in everything we do. We bleed purple and live gold so finding friedns is never hard on this campus. As long as you love LSU, we love you! The best thing is that we are in a college town, their are 3 colleges in baton rouge and we all get a long great! So if you feel like you will see the same peple veryday, your wrong! There is always room to meet new people. the community around us Loves LSU too and it feels good to walk around with putple and gold on and be able to say "I go to LSU!"

Trent

My overall opinion of LSU is that it's generally amazing. My college experience so far has been quite exceptional. The LSU campus is pretty large so there are plenty of diverse people to interact with, and I pretty much meet a new person every day. Living on campus has given me ample opportunities to participate in all kinds of activities, like: basketball games, football games, Residential Life, free speech ally rallies, the activities seem like they never end. Plus the food isn't half bad either!

I love just about everything about LSU, its a fantastic balance of academics and fun. We know how to study in Middleton Library, or under an oak tree for hours at a time, but cut loose in Tiger Stadium when the Tigers lead the way to victory. And even though the school is large, everything is in walking distance and you dont have to look far to find friendly faces.

Spencer

I have been to multiple colleges, and LSU is by far my favorite. Many people complain about being lost in the crowd at a big school, but I have never experienced that at LSU. I always avoided big schools for that reason, but in my opinion the advantages far outweigh any problems I have had. A big school offers many more professional and extracurricular activities that simply are not realistic for smaller schools to have. The football season and tailgate atmosphere is a great way to meet new people, and few places tailgate like LSU. Overall I love the school and have never regretted my decision to transfer here.

Bailey

My opinion is that LSU is a great place to be educated, not only in school, but in life. There is so much diversity to be found on campus that it is easy to find yourself growing in more ways than just traditional knowledge. Campus is full of school pride and exciting events such as athletics, lectures, and artistic performances. Baton Rouge is full of activities ranging from the bars in Tigerland to quaint little eateries that include the best frozen yogurt and beignets. The Student Union is always packed with students and has delicious places to eat. LSU is the perfect mix of excitement and education

LSU is all about experiences. It’s the experiences of community, whether it be through football games, through partying, through more academic organizations, or through living on campus. We,as students, appreciate the fact we are at something far bigger than themselves. The size of the University presents students with opportunities to do so much from getting involved academically to finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s about the experiences of involvement from joining a frat to working on campus to not doing anything at all. LSU seems to offer anything any student could imagine. The experience of going to LSU is so unique and exciting, students cannot even fathom what it would be like to have gone somewhere else. But along with this, comes with small annoyances, like not enough parking and not an one-on-one teacher/student interaction.
