I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for the exceptional support, care, and encouragement…read moreAdrianne Bland has provided me as my Student Service Advisor. Your guidance has made a significant and positive difference in my academic journey here at Louisiana State University, for my degree in Disaster Science and Emergency Management. I especially appreciate how you always went above and beyond with follow-ups, whether through calls or emails, to ensure that every situation I brought to your attention was resolved. It gave me immense peace of mind knowing that I could rely on you to see things through to the end. Your regular calls and emails were more than just helpful reminders; they were a source of encouragement and genuine care. The way you approached every issue--from registration hurdles to resource inquiries--showed a deep commitment to my success and well-being as a student. Thank you, Adriane, for being such a wonderful advisor.

LSU's School of Social Work failed me completely. A group of students ganged up on me during the…read moreMSW program and the instructor never communicated or stepped in. When I asked for disability accommodations, the process dragged on so long that I never received anything in time. I was left unprotected, unsupported, and ultimately forced to drop out. LSU talks about helping students, but when you actually need protection or timely accommodations, they disappear.

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.

200th review...why not give a well deserved FIVE STAR shout out to my beloved LSU!!! Quite fitting…read moresince 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.

There are vast amounts of grass and most of the year, you'll find the hustle & bustle of students and staff swarming the area. During football season, you'll find a sea of purple and gold colors that layer the grounds. Come on by, and enjoy the views of the bell tower and hear the sounds of what makes up the LSU campus. It's also walking distance to local eats and shops, in case you're in the mood for food or retail therapy. Coming for a game and don't want to put yourself in the crazy situation of finding parking? Take a ride-sharing program here. It's definitely a fun place to be, during university celebrations and big events.

Probably my favorite few places on LSU campus besides a view overlooking the stadium. Currently…read moretheir is some sort of renovation that is going on with the clock tower. However, the Parade Grounds are a wonderful spot to Picnic, Toss a frisbee, Tan, you name it. During football season the turf from the football games is placed on the Parade grounds, which keeps it in great condition. Besides a view of the Clock Tower, on the opposite side you have a beautiful view of the LSU Law Center. Perfect for graduation photos. Last, you are also right next to the student Union, where you can find ways to get involved on campus or just hangout and grab a bite to eat with friends. My average review score 3.48 when I made this review--(take with a grain of salt) (I rely on Yelp to go to places with good reviews, may account for the higher average)

I attended the wedding of two of my friends at University Presbyterian, and it was a wonderful ceremony. The church was cozy and cheerful, with a simple eye-pleasing scheme of dark green carpet, light green walls, and dark wooden pews with white wooden ends. It felt like it had been around for a while, but in a comfortable and not a dilapidated way. The minister was female, which I liked, and she did an excellent job with the ceremony. She was, though, a bit scandalized by the amount of cleavage in the audience. The outside is lovely, too, and both the outdoors and indoors of this church made for great wedding pictures. If you're considering a wedding in Baton Rouge, you should check this place out. It doesn't have a lot in the way of grandeur, but it's very pleasant, and the wedding was beautiful.
