Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students said it: athletic facilities are top-of-the-line. From Tiger Stadium to the Rec, students can’t argue with the high-quality equipment and constant maintenance these areas receive. The Rec has everything from a swimming pool to a rock-climbing wall, giving students a great place to work out, even if it is crowded most of the time. Tiger Stadium is constantly being updated with money from the Tiger Athletic Foundation, so it remains a prime spot to catch the annual LSU-Florida football game.

But there is plenty outside of athletic facilities at LSU. LSU architecture, with its Italian Renaissance-style, gives the campus a gorgeous overall appearance, and the many nationally-recognized buildings make LSU a work of art. However, some of the buildings don’t really match, and it’s obvious which were built in the ‘70s. Places like Middleton Library and Lockett kind of ruin the mood, unless Brady Bunch-style bright orange and mint green is your thing. The campus is swathed in stately oak trees and magnolias making it seem cozier than other places of higher learning. The Union is in the process of a major overhaul to become a better place for students to hang out. Many of the classrooms have been updated to include top-of-the-line equipment, like computers, smart boards, and projection systems. LSU is constantly under construction, a fact most students find irritating—until they see the finished project.

Favorite Things To Do

Just on campus, you can walk the gorgeous LSU lakes, speak your mind in Free Speech Alley, have a fancy lunch at the Faculty Club, bowl a couple of frames, peruse an on-campus art gallery or museum, lay out on the Parade Grounds, grab some food from the Union, watch a play in the Black Box Theater, work out at the Rec, or roll down the Indian Mounds.

There is almost always some sort of event on campus being hosted somewhere. Whether it be a club showing a movie in the Union, a play in the Black Box Theater or at Swine Palace (not as gross as it sounds), or people picnicking on the Parade Ground, there is bound to be something happening. Student organizations publicize their views and hand out pamphlets in Free Speech Alley, while across campus, there might be an important baseball game to check out or a special collection opening in one of the campus art galleries. With all this action, students usually end up wandering over to things and checking them out. The Groovin' on the Grounds Concert every spring is always well attended, as is the yearly Homecoming Concert. But mostly, LSU students like nothing more than to just sit around. You can always find people avoiding the dredges of class by taking a rest on the Parade Grounds or near the fountains in the Quad.

Did You Know? The Indian Mounds were built 450 years before the pyramids in Egypt.
