Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College Top Questions

The best thing about LSU is football. I would love to take a bull-dozer and take out all of the Easy Street gates. The biggest recent controversy was whether or not Chancellor O'keefe was forced to resign.

The best part of LSU is the atmosphere. It just feels like everyone loves it here and that feeling is contagious. If i could change one thing about LSU t would be the Easy Streets program. It is just the right size. I spend most of my time on campus either in class or at my fraternity house. Im pretty nonchalant about our administration. The flying of a puple and gold confederate flag. There is a TON of school pride. Expieriences I will always remember are the football games. The most frequent comlaint is Easy Streets.

LSU is a great place to attend school. Its a school that is small enough that you will always see friends when your on campus but at the same time its not tiny. When I tell people I'm an LSU student they always have the same reaction, "GREAT FOOTBALL TEAM!" The students are very proud of the accomplishments of our football program but their is so much more to LSU. Its a school that can offer students whatever they might want to do. Its also located in the capitol city of Louisiana so their are many things to do off campus. Downtown Baton Rouge has tons of activities all year round to go check out. As a whole LSU is a school with tons of spirit and a great community to further your education.

By far, atmosphere is LSU's greatest asset. Southern hospitality, a beautiful campus, and school spirit all culminate to create LSU. I wish we could drive on campus during the day. My freshman year we were allowed to drive on campus, it was very convenient. Officials say it is due to LSU being a walking campus; students say it is so the officials can drive around without traffic. There is not nearly enough parking. Students have no say in big decisions pertaining to the university. We have a student government, but they have no real power. We have voted issues down, but the board will still pass them. For example, when asked if incoming freshmen should be forced to live on campus, we overwhelmingly voted no, it was still passed that they must. I love the size of LSU. The 30,000+ enrollment is well dispersed over the large campus. Plus, events and nightlife are more fun with more people. Since my classes are mainly liberal arts, I spend most of time in the quad. Baton Rouge is most definitely a college town. All walks of life attend things at LSU, and students are treated great throughout the city. Also, when LSU loses a big football game, I think all of Baton Rouge goes into a depression. LSU's school pride is incredible. At least half of the students are wearing something LSU, very rarely do I see merchandise of different schools. The school definitely has a special way of painting hearts purple and gold.

THE BEST THING ABOUT LSU IS THE QUALITY EDUCATION THAT I AM RECIEVING. I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE WAY AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE TREATED ON CAMPUS. PEOPLE REACT IN A NEGATIVE WAY AND ASK ME WHY I DO NOT GO TO SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY. I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN THE UNION. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COLLEGE TOWN IS. I THINK LSU HAVE A CORRUPT AMINISTRATION. THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSY ON CAMPUS WAS THE KILLINGS THAT RECENTLY HAPPENED. THERE IS DEFINETELY ALOT OF SCHOOL PRIDE AMONG THE STUDENTS AT LSU. NO THERE IS NOTHING UNUSAL ABOUT LSU. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FIRST SEMESTER I WENT TO LSU BECAUSE I HAD ALOT OF EXCITING TIMES AND I MADE ALOT OF FRIENDS THAT YEAR. PARKING IS THE MOST FREQUENT STUDENT COMPLAINTS.

I think the best thing about LSU is that there is no way you can't meet someone new and different. There is such a wide variety of people that it is impossible to at least see them. One thing I would change though is that I would fix up the Art buildings. They are old and decrepit as are several other facilities on campus. As for size, it is just right. LSU isn't ridiculously huge nor too small. When I say I go to LSU, they usually just say "Go Tigers!" I spend most of my time running around campus for classes and hanging out with people. Baton Rouge, is the definition of College Town. There are apartments and condos everywhere. Also, the businesses all have LSU colors in their windows and most businesses caters to students. LSU administration needs to remember academics some more and not place too much emphasis on athletics. I am personally disappointed in the way they only upgrade the business and engineering programs and forgets the arts. The biggest controversy is safety on campus. They are currently working on improvements though. School Pride? All I can say is watch one football game. The unusual thing about LSU is that no matter how much you are not into football, everyone here cheers it on. One experience I will always remember the RHA block parties and meeting new people every year. Most of student complaints are that the facilities need improvement.
