My issue with LSU as a whole is the lack of care for the education and the focus on football, if it does not have to look pretty because it is by the stadium or a frequently traveled road that tourists take it is not cared for. They should use the money to care for the school, not put it back into getting the football players for amenities. Secondly, the most important for every individual was how horrific the counselors were, due to my major not being common they simply did not have one. My husband... Read More went to the same school but as a computer major, he had a counselor but she scheduled him in all the wrong classes because she had no idea what she was doing. Due to me having no direction I scheduled my own classes and was attending things that I did not need and he attended classes he thought were contributing to his major but were not. Something they should show every single student and teacher how to do is to access the portal that shows what classes apply and what does not, this way people do not waste thousands of dollars. I would never have known about it if a friend in college that I made did not show me, and I in turn showed others. It took my husband 6 years to get a 4 year degree and he never failed a class. I took the regular 4 due to a kind professor shifting credits around for me since he was the Department Head. The teachers were amazing, knowledgeable, and helpful I enjoyed attending their classes but the school was actively hurting the students.

Overall my experience at LSU was positive. This university places a premium on athletics over education. It is known as a party school with a great football team. Socially, I gained a lot from attending LSU. Parties on campus, football games, various clubs, numerous social events on campus. Education was not as good in my opinion. It was mainly reading texts and memorizing. To be fair this is how most universities ar. I guess it's fair to say that LSU was standard in terms of education. You go to... Read More LSU for football and parties. Or if you want to work in the oil and gas industry after graduation. Go tigers!

I attended Louisiana State University in their engineering department in Computer Science, and I can say that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this university houses the best STEM program in the state of Louisiana and arguably the best in the entire southern United States. The building dedicated to the engineering program features highly advanced technical equipment and laboratories, computer labs, and other facilities dedicated to research for professors and students alike to provide the best environment... Read More for success in various engineering fields. The course material was strict, difficult, but accurately prepared students for the workforce and what expectations would be expected of them.

My time at Louisiana State University honestly meant a lot more to me than I thought it would when I first got there.

LSU wasn’t just school for me. It was where I grew up a lot. I had some really high moments there, and also went through one of the hardest times of my life—but that’s kind of why it means so much. It forced me to mature, figure out who I am, and learn how to handle real pressure instead of just going through the motions.

The people and the environment are what make it. There’s just... Read More something different about LSU—game days, being around your friends all the time, being involved in organizations—it actually feels like you’re part of something. It’s not just classes and leaving, it’s a full experience.

Academically, it challenged me too. Some semesters I was locked in, others were tougher, but I learned how to stay consistent and push through even when things weren’t ideal. That’s something I’ll carry with me way past college.

Looking back, LSU gave me a lot more than just a degree. It gave me relationships, perspective, and a lot of growth as a person. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.

I am currently attending Louisiana State University pursuing my Master's in Business Management with a concentration in sports management. I anticipate graduating later this year, in December 2026. My Experience at LSU has been positive, considering the quality of academics offered. The school has knowledgeable professors and offers practical coursework that helps students to develop key skills in their related areas of study. This is an institution that I would highly recommend to others interested... Read More in furthering their studies. The quality of education offered in this institution has shaped my professional growth and is preparing me fully for my future career and the job market.

I did not initially want to go in-state, but I couldn't beat the TOPS program, which basically made college free. Only once I was at LSU, enrolled and finding my groove, did I gain a deeper appreciation for the institution, the spirit, and the teachers. Louisiana is a unique state with an uncanny history and a specific blend of cultures you don't find anywhere else. After four years at LSU, it embodied this quality in many ways, particularly in the community and identity one found here and carried... Read More on with them.

I attended LSU online for one class in 2019. I took an accounting course and was planning to take other coursework to enable me to sit for the CPA exam in Ohio. I liked the online option since I work full time and have a family. LSUs online course framework is horribly formatted. You utilize one website for your syllabus and class information, another for reading, another for assignments, and then another one for exams. Yeah, how annoying and confusing is that? Then, you have to pay again to sit... Read More for exams online which are fully proctored- I would assume due to cheating issues in the past. The problem with this is I took one exam and the proctor talked to me a few times through the exam telling me they couldn’t see me or needed me to do this or that - which then affects me time and concentration during the exam. It was entirely rude and hindered me from taking the exam. I knew after that and just the online class integration this university was not for me. I later went to another online school in 2020 and am still attending (now on my 4th class). I would tell anyone to stay away from LSU online. Go elsewhere.

I will first start by saying if you're like me and you chose LSU, it is because you most likely grew up seeing the stadium lights, taking drives through campus and being a huge Tigers fan. Campus life is great if you love all of those things, but academic life can be difficult if you do not apply yourself. I studied Kinesiology which was not easy, but it was worth it because Kinesiology is the only degree program that offers anatomy and if you do well you can take a Cadaver lab, which I did. IT WAS... Read More AWESOME! I advise you to study because this degree is not easy nor or the professors. Many of them are grad students who are as nervous as you are so it is important to make sure you study the material because you may not always receive the best lecture. Most tests are conducted in the testing center which can be nerve wrecking because there is someone always hovering over you (there were a lot of incidences of cheating). If you go to a professor for help make sure you know at least a little something about the material. They will start throwing questions at you immediately. They are there to help you understand better not reteach you the material. Overall, choose your professors wisely. Don't take a class that is to early so you skip, because if you don't go to class you will not pass.

Louisiana State University is a well-rounded school in academics and in sports. As a Biological Sciences major, I was a part of the College of Science (COS). COS offers many degree programs for undergraduate students such as Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Microbiology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, and Physics. If you are interested in research, there are numerous research opportunities at LSU through many different departments. I was able to work with residential life at LSU as my first job... Read More when coming to campus as a desk assistant. I later moved into a resident assistant role where I actually lived in a dorm on a particular floor, where I was responsible for a certain number of residents. I know other people who got involved with research right away, and some who got involved with sports right away. There is no one path to take at this school, and it is really up to you and what you are looking to accomplish.

If you are a student that is interested in some type of professional school after college, Biological Sciences and Biochemistry curriculum does a great job at preparing students for their perspective entrance exams. There is a general path you could follow if you are unsure about what courses to take, and it gives suggestions for electives to take, but you have full autonomy to choose whatever elective courses you would like (as long as you get your major courses completed and other required courses).
