Best of Louisiana State University

LSU Athletics

I think student involvement, team performance, fan support, school spirit, and athletic facilities are top notch here at LSU. The school and team spirit is the first thing that welcome me here at LSU and it was the campus that made me want to stay. There is nothing like a Saturday night in tiger stadium!

Nightlife

The nightlife around LSU never stops- all night every night. This is probably because it is so convenient. Or to mention fun of course. The bars/clubs are right off of campus, we have our own signature places such as the popular Tiger Lair, Chimes, and the Varsity, and we have free campus bus transportation into the night as if it wasn't close enough to walk to. Of course there are raging sorority/fraternity parties as well if you get invited and you can count on house parties.

So-So

LSU is really trying hard nowadays, especially with all of the budget cuts going on. They just recently remodeled the Fitness Center (even though it wasn't so much in need)and it looks great. The main library, Middleton, is not anything special but it is full of great books if you look and there are a ton of computers (MACS and PCs) available. Hill Memorial Library is nice to look at but I don't go often. There are often a lot of book exhibits and things that like going on. Free speech alley is usually an interesting place to stop by and the Union is completely redone and gorgeous! Overall, there are gorgeous oak trees everywhere and the quad has a ton of stone benches that come in handy on beautiful days. LSU is definitely one of the more beautiful, lively campuses with something always going on. I gave it a B+ because I am an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in Business Administration. They are currently building an architecturally impressive Business College but the English building is dark and dank (in a gorgeous way, of course) but the program is somewhat dead. So, B+.
