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.

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!"

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.

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.

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.
