Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College Top Questions

The best thing about this school to me, is the school spirit when it comes to football. The LSU football team is supported well by the students. If I could change anything about this school it would probably be the allocation of funds towards the football team being used for other educational things. The school is the perfect size. You can know enough people to not know everyone. When people hear that I go to LSU they are very excited, Especially because in Baton Rouge LSU is the college to attend. I spend most of my time on campus in the student union, this is where most people spend their time. Socializing and associating with others. The school's administration is excellent, but sometimes you have to know the right person to go to with certain problems seeing as the campus is so large. As I stated before the school's pride is at an extremely high level.

Student body size is perfect for the physical size of the campus, classes are large but very well managed/taught for the most part. The student union is a great area with food and tables, although it does get very crowded around lunch time. The library is an excellent resource and study area. The campus is very safe at all hours of the day/night.

The best thing about this school is the Honors College and the ability to focus in on your major when you get down to it. I'd change the demographics of this place to be more diverse if I could. I spend most of my time walking. And the city of Baton Rouge wouldn't thrive as it does if it weren't for this college. Things stay interesting. Res Life and Student Activity Board are great.

For me, LSU has been everything I could have asked for plus some. The wide variety of classes, organizations, and activities as well as the school spirit, beautiful campus, and our mascot's on-campus habitat are just a few things that I love about LSU. It is considered a larger university with approximately 28,000 undergraduates but this creates a diverse atmostphere that is uncomparable to anywhere else. We have a great selection of classes and professors as well as helpful tutoring services inside and outside of the classroom. The chancellor, dean, and student government work hard to ensure that students' needs are met. Advising is always readily available. Technology is up to date and many renovations are taking place, such as a new bookstore and, soon, a new REC center.

LSU is a great school academically, socially, and residentially. It definitely develops and prepares you for your future career. Being part of a school who is currently ranked #1 in the nation for football also makes it an even better experience and certainly makes me proud to be a tiger! This school is one of the best flagship universities in the south.

The school is big- so you'll always be making new friends. It's in a great city- so you'll always be having a good time. It has tradition that spans over 150 years. When I think about our tradition, I think about the people that have walked the halls of LSU prior to my entrance. The university has produced governors and senators, national media personalities, world-renowned researchers and scientists, bestselling authors, and professional athletes in every sport imaginable. Because of the food, the fun, and the fellowship that LSU has to offer, I now consider this place to be home. My time as an LSU student has literally been the best of my 21 short years of life.

One of the most enjoyable places to go to college. Period. I can't think of anywhere else that is more fun. The people are laid back and friendly. The people of South Louisiana know how to enjoy life better than any other group I've ever been around in the U.S. This rubs off on LSU. p.s. There is a lot of alcohol and recreational drug usage. I do not and have not used drugs, and I was shocked to see how prevalent it was when I was there.

The best thing about LSU is the diversity that its size offers it to have. There are a million and one things to get involved in and once you find your niche it literally shrinks. You can have relationships with students and teachers on interpersonal levels you wouldn't think possible at a university of this size. Football is an integral part of the town and of student life and I wouldn't change that for the world, a night in Tiger Stadium is truly unforgetable! People, students and nonstudents alike, bleed purple and gold like the saying goes! We might get rowdy, but we all have big hearts:)

LSU is a great school. You'll get lots of opportunities and meet a LOT of different people. Yeah, its big. 30,000 people can be quite intimidating. But it doesnt have to be. LSU is what you make of it. There are plenty of semesters where I have the same 5 people in my classes for two years straight. That makes it feel just that much smaller. And sometimes, you like the big university bc it gives you some space. Its a good school with good programs at a great price. For Louisiana, you can't ask for much more.

The tradition it's the best thing. The culture. I like that people have a sense of belonging. I would change the tuition system. I know that because of TOPS, instead of putting a tuition, on some that covers all, they break it down in 100 fees so that they can cheat the system. TOPS waves the tuition, but not the fees. This makes the life and the accounting more complicated and reduces significantly the assistantships of grad students. The school is just right, I don't think it's too big. Definitely not small. In Louisiana, people are impressed if you say that you go to LSU. Outside Louisiana... not so much. They smile and they talked about football, but they are not impressed about the academic performance here. What college town and... after the killing of the 2 Indian students in Eduard Gay... are you kidding me? I don't even leave late from office anymore!!! Rec center I guess is the only place I go from time to time and I do hang out at the bookstore for a coffee. Chimes is not bad either. Highland coffee... if you have time to kill and the weather is nice. The LSU administration is pathetic. With the money that come in because of football, they could do something for the education too. Improve the ratings. And I do know what I talk about since I have worked as an accounting student worker for some grant and I have seen first hand how money is wasted. There is no sense of responsibility or accountability in many of the departments here. And... to quote from an old saying: the fish gets spoiled starting with the head, so the upper echelons in administration... I don't even want to think about it! I do not keep track of the frivolous controversies on campus, but I do wander why the killing of 2 students inside the campus apartments didn't start any controversy. Is it because they are international, so... less than nothing in this country? There is a lot of school pride, that we have. Pride! Unusual... pleasantly unusual is the dedication with which Tiger fans come from across the state to the games with their families and manage to keep the party decent. The mascot I would say is pretty unusual. But spectacular and nice. Experience I'll always remember... hopefully my graduation! Complaints: students complain about teachers. Always. Everybody else is to blame for their poor academic performance but themselves.
