"Luxury student housing" should not exist. What happened to the days where college kids lived in shitty dorms and them upgraded to shitty off-campus housing? People on here talk about the pussification of America. This is part of it. Kick the kid out at 18. Give them just enough money not to starve to death, and make him or her live in a shite hole for 4 years to appreciate the finer things in life.

Rich alumni gotta put their kids somewhere.

Agree with all of that. I spent two semesters in Kirby Smith and two more in the Pentagon and I got by just fine. Paid for it all myself with loans too. I didn't need daddy's money.

sounds like someone is mad that students parents can provide nicer things for them than what you had

Funny how even that has gotten out of control in the 12 years since I started lsu. Back then I was terribly jealous of friends who lived at Oak Brook. Then along came South Gate & LBP houses, then The Cottages and now this.

While I somewhat agree, and grew up when at best some daddy's girls lived in University Crossroads, High V, or Brooke Hollow, and guys(no matter how deep their family pockets were or quality of nice sled driven) lived in old ratty AC Lewis apts built many decades earlier..
It's just the way it is today, parents have long seen the smart play as buying condos, garden homes, instead of wasting rent for 5 or 6 years.
LSU's Tier 1 recruitment of Texas non-10%er students growing up in HTown McMansions and Dallas castles with Fortune 500 parents,etc..are accustomed to nice environs, outside of slumming one year in the flea-ridden frat house, they are gonna go grab a Beau Pre or Lake Beau Pre, The Venue,etc..place as their second college pads.
Toss in a better and more available college job market than ever in BR for students. TOPS, Perkins, and deeper college loans than formerly available to students,etc..
I see so many college kids in sushi joints, and non fast food joints in BR, it's unreal..
These kids eat $10 takeout sandwiches from Inga's, AM Mart,etc..they aren't on ramen or at Pancho's raising the flag.

While I want so badly to agree with you, I see a flaw. The problem with the shitty off campus housing is that all of these small garden homes and apartment complexes are cheap so that college students can afford it, but then you get people who aren't college students moving in to them and never moving out because that is all they can afford.
Does anybody else find it strange that the people who live so close to LSU on the north gates have never attended LSU?
