Came here for admitting students day for my daughter, we came from Virginia. This school is so nice and the staff were amazing. The campus was put together and very very clean unfortunately, although my daughter was accepted I don't think she will pick the school to go to in the fall. read more

Love the smoothie king location! Everytime I go in, no matter how busy the employees are with the rush of college students trying to get their lunch at 1:30 they stay on top of orders and are always super sweet. I love coming here and getting to chat it up with the employees. They have the same selection as other smoothie kings but often will offer to add additional ingredients and always make excellent selections. Every time I ask an employee for their favorite order it's an excellent smoothie! The prices are very reasonable and they do take LSU meal swipes. Love the smoothie king 10/10 recommend! read more

This place was where I spent almost 2 years of my life just hanging out and doing work here. I think this place is the move for those that want to get food, coffee, school supplies, and decent bathrooms. It's a pretty chill place. This place has almost everything that you can want or need. Internet service, mail service, an ATM, a theatre, a phone fixing place, some pretty chill events, and your friends if they decide to meet here are a few of the things that go down here. The place is usually really really clean. I never have any major complaints about going here. One big issue is that they do not have enough room for everyone. It's gotten bigger and that's a good thing. The old pool room was converted into a fancy schmacy lounge area. The area is pretty nice and remains me of a coffee shop. The only issue with that analogy is that the coffee shop is upstairs and not right there and that you miss the great smell of coffee and the other brews. I won't take a star for that since that's not the place's issue. The reason that I had to take a star from this place is that it is confusing. There are a few signs; however, the plethora of random stores and services and rooms causes you to be somewhat disoriented. If you aren't use to the area, you most likely will be lost if you go looking for more than food. The third and fourth floors are so hard to get to and navigate. However, those rooms have quiet study spaces and even a food pantry. Therefore, I think it's worth to have clearer signs and directions. If you want to have a meeting place on campus with food and other services that you don't really need but wouldn't mind having, then this is the place for you. I would recommend coming here to check it out. However, if you are a student, then you come here once during your time at LSU, whether you want to or not. read more

LSU Student Union - New Lounge Area with a smoothie - Performing Arts Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This is not a review for the Student Union. Rather, this is a review of food created by a union of students (my roommates). We all unanimously agreed on making spaghetti for dinner. The ingredients we used were ground beef, 1 pound of spaghetti noodles, 1.5 jars of garlic and herb spaghetti sauce, and salt and pepper. The cooking process was as you expect; cook the noodles, cook the meat, put it all together with the sauce. The outcome was what you would describe as homemade spaghetti. I believe it is much better than dining hall spaghetti, but I prefer spaghetti with chicken and parmesan cheese. This was fairly average and there is nothing much else to add to this review. read more

Lovely. Have visited and toured many schools over the past two years. Loved the combination of updated interiors in a vintage building. For all my years working with faculty here, never been to this building until it was time to go on tour. Spacious, always something happening. Well maintained and kept. Clean. A place to congregate. First impressions... this one made my heart happy. Since the school is stealing my love and life from New England away. Bastards. OK, I like you LSU. Otherwise, we'd be mortal enemies. read more

Very beautiful and historical building! It almost feels as if the Student Union is more than a building but and embodiment of the years of history and phenomenal students embedded within the walls, the streets and all the monuments around it! You can definitely feel the centrical force of gravity throughout the entire campus at the Student Union. There are many resources here for parents, students and potential students alike. You never really lost at the Student Union in on this campus but simply always on a journey to a better brighter future. If you need help around the place there's usually always some security guard, student or faculty member that will lead you back to the right place! Definitely feel free to come and use all the resources here that are for you! Tuition, donors and the state are helping you to do this! Have fun and Godspeed with future careers! read more

The union is great. There are several food stops to pick from. They have pizza (papa John's), family styled home meals like baked chicken served with mash potatoes or stone other side like corn bread or red beans and rice. In case you don't want that, they have a chick filet, McDonald's, smoothie king, panda express, a salad bar(my favorite), sushi, or the coffee shop thay had bagels and such. I personally love the salad bar which offers a jr varsity (1 meat and 4 toppings) or a varsity (unlimited toppings and meats). I normally do the jr varsity since I'm tight oin money and it only costs around 4.30 while the variety it's priced at 6.75 which is still a good deal. I like to splurge a bit when I have money and I usually get the varsity when I do that. The sushi bar is pretty good also since they have some pre-made sushi or you can get a fresh one made by requesting it if you have 5 minutes to spare and don't mind waiting. I do bit recommend the miso soup though. It isn't the greatest. Overall, the staff is really friendly and I go there a lot to eat and hang out with my friends. read more

LSU Student Union - Chefs special priced at 8.99. Definitely worth it. Sushi rice with shrimp tempura along with avocado and crab meats. It's very filling. - Performing Arts Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

OMG!!!!!! Love this place. We went searching for LSU gear everywhere in Baton Rouge. The all time best place to buy it is at LSU Bookstore. I found the MOST comfy and cute pj pants and shirt. I also got a fleece and some other little things. They have an LSU motorcycle in the middle of the store that is just too great. The cashier said "you break it you buy it" but you can take pics on it. hahahah! We had fun. Minus one star for no dressing room. WTF. I am pretty sure there is video of me undressing in the corner but darn if these pants dont fit perfect! read more

My husband and I did the date night pottery class it cost $60 plus a $10 firing fee for up to three pieces of pottery . We truly had a blast. You share a pottery wheel one of you operate the wheel while the other person makes the pottery. The instructor was really good and did a great job showing and explaining how to work the clay and wheel. My husband was a natural he did awesome no one could believe it was his first time . Now me on the other hand I wasn't a natural lol but I still REALLY REALLY HAD FUN! I do wish they offered the date night classes on the weekend though! After your done with the class you have to disassemble the pottery wheel and clean it and the tools you use. You can choose to pay the fee to get your items fired and glazed or not ! You get a email in two to three weeks to come pick your items up. When we got there one of my pieces hadn't been glazed because they thought it was another classes work so she let me pick a color glaze which was really cool! I didn't mind waiting since I got a extra special blue glaze now ! We would definitely retake this class it's amazing ! read more

A few hundred yards from the Parade Grounds, the iconic Clock Tower and the very odd Indian Burial mounds, nestled between the Band Hall and the Pentagon dorm is one of my favorite places on this beautiful campus. As a grad of LSU, I recall the Greek Theater fondly. It is a sea of tranquillity in the heart of a very raucous campus, particularly on a Saturday night when the Fightin' Tigers are in town. Well nothing's really quiet on those nights and we wouldn't have it any other way. GEAUX TIGERS! Surrounded by stately oaks festooned with Spanish moss, neatly manicured hedgerows and utilitarian but challenging walking paths, this is a spot to visit. Parents will love to take a load off here when visiting their sons and daughters on campus or as a place to discuss everything you've seen on a prospective registration visit. I hope you stop by and then log in to let me know what you think. Laissez le bontemps rollez! read more

The LSU Student Union is a pretty decent place, especially now that it has been renovated, but, mostly, you'll receive a fast-food like experience. The food is good but not spectacular (usually, the restaurants within the Union offer a lower-quality product than their off-campus equivalents), and don't expect stellar customer service. Mostly, the staff is just looking to get you through the line, especially during lunch rush (which isn't necessarily a bad thing since most people have limited time to eat). The food options are as follows (except during the summer when most of the restaurants are closed): -Magnolia Room (all-you-can eat buffet) -CC's -Papa John's -Bayou Bistreaux (hot meal - usually with local flair) -French Quarter Café (breakfast, po-boys) -Salsarita's -Jamba Juice -Chick-fil-a -Panda Express -On-the-Geaux (made-to-order salads and prepackaged items) -McDonald's -Einstein Brothers Plus, there are other services including: -ATMs -Campus Federal -LSU Leisure classes -Tiger Card Office -Ricoh Mail & Copy Center (PO Boxes/Copy machine/out-going mailboxes/postage machine) -Cox Communications -Computer lab -Union Theater -Other LSU offices (The LSU Bookstore has been moved out of the Union! It's now across the street!) As I mentioned earlier in this review, the Union can get super busy, especially around lunch, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to find food and a clean-ish table (which can be really hard to come by). read more

Pretty much the only place to get LSU gear, so if you want to get your Tiger on, you do it here. Great staff too. We picked up some hoodies, t-shirts and baller pens. read more

What a great place to take a break from Tailgating and escape the heat. The AC in the union was kicking and I was able to cool off pretty quick. Plenty of restrooms and the bookstore had great selection of Tiger gear. read more

The LSU Barbershop is friendly, does good work, and can't beat a $13 haircut.

Clean with a decent selection of food. Plenty of places to sit and eat or study. Flat-screens in the lower dining area if u are bored. There is also a barber shop on the first floor. Computer lab on the third floor-u can print here. Bookstore is nice and aside from books has LSU gear etc. read more

The On the Geaux salad place is a great value for your money, and essentially the only "healthy" option on campus. Bayou Bistreaux has some okay options every now and then, but everything is oversalted from my experience. The Panda Express has really nice employees, and the food is usually fresh, yum. Everything else is "meh," in my opinion. read more

Nothing really special about this place. It's a building filled with unhealthy fast food joints with half of their menus. The place is always freezing cold me the employees could care less about the customers. Be prepared for a 45 minute wait to eat when coming here. read more
