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.
