Outside of engineering, I always assumed that LSU was the more academically rigorous institution. They have a better national standing than Tech, and LSU has a more diverse set of major offerings at the undergrad and grad level.

I am just curious to see some opinions.

Well they are both better than SU and have better parties so there is that.

I've never understood why Tech is considered to have a better engineering school than LSU. When I've ever seen engineering school rankings LSU is ahead of Tech every time

You're one of the better trolls the OT has had in a while. I admire your vigor.

Harder? If you don't study, both will be hard.

Both universities are challenging. Both produce quality graduates. Neither one is Yale but both offer great academic opportunities on a regional and national scale.

the only thing the students have in common is that they all applied to LSU

Tech is not even considered the better engineering/technical school. Not that LSU is thought of as being way ahead or anything, just that if the state has a "tech" school, its usually known for its engineering (Ga Tech, Cal tech, etc.). La Tech cant even pull that off. It's an alternative to LSU just like ULL. Not trying to knock it, but its not "more difficultl or less difficult". This coming from knowing and working with Tech engineering graduates.

As far as Tulane. Maybe pre-Katrina they were known to be better. But i do know they stripped the engineering program at that time and it hadn't recovered much last time I checked. I only know one engineer from Tulane (smart guy, but graduated before 2005 also).

Finally, I think you should quit posting for your own good and for everyone else's. You are either serious with these questions and post the same repetitive topics that make you try to validate the choices you've made. Or, you are trolling this board. Either way, its time to lay off the topic.

I've always felt that Universities, who use the quarter system, are inherently easier.

Harder is a tough, perhaps improper, measure; the more academically rigorous school can be easier overall if the teachers are better, the class sizes smaller, better library, etc.

Get into Tech's or LSU honors program if you are smart....like me.

Yes, you will be around some different people but the positives FAR outweigh the negatives.

LSU's honors program has come along nicely in the last few years. Tech's honor program was 1st class when I was there.

Make the most of your opportunities...wherever you are.
