Louisiana State University & A & M College

200^th review… why not give a well deserved FIVE STAR shout out to my beloved LSU!!! Quite fitting since they are kicking ass and taking names in terms of football, but trust me, I have stuck with the Tigers through many growing seasons!
My LSU days are so fondly remembered… omg! If I knew then what I know now, I might have gotten on that seven year plan to graduation, just to stretch it out a bit.
LSU can totally be what you want/​need it to be. Wild party times, check. Beautiful campus, check. Awesome Scholarship opportunities, check (I am forever grateful for that Tuition Exemption Scholarship for Non-Residents…full ride, plus a stipend?). Grinding it out at Middleton, check. Happy hour at Superior before class, check. Sharing that amazing TIger spirit at Fall Fest in the quad, check. Great foundation for later life, check. Amazing professors, check. I still draw on my experience in numerous classes with Wayne Parent and Cecil Eubanks, who challenged me to THINK in so many different ways. Weird to think that I’d even reflect back on those political science classes, esp now that I’m into anesthesia… but that’s the beauty of LSU. What you gain there is good for a lifetime, and is applicable to all facets of your life.
Love Purple, Live Gold.

I really want to see folks who did their undergrad (recently not hazed by time and fond memories) review LSU.
I was here for a master’s degree, while working full-​time, and living in New Orleans, so I didn’t really experience much campus-​time/​life. But it is a beautiful campus. The oak trees are well cared for and are mostly mature since the originals were planted for students lost in World War I.
It’s actually a pretty competitive school and so while it certainly deserves it’s hard partying reputation. Students do have to show up for classes… or that’s my understanding anyway.

I recieved my Masters of Science in Civil Engineer from LSU in may. I don’t know of anywhere else that I would be more proud to hold this degree from. With the proximity to and resources of the Louisiana Coastal Wetlands, my education was challenging and exciting. This was the perfect place for me to learn about what I learned (hydraulic engineering), and many other to learn what they learn. Some programs may not be as strong as the one in which I was enrolled, but most are excellent, especially in Science and Engineering.
