Why does campus look so old and underfunded

Just got back from Tuscaloosa. You can tell they have put a significant amount of money into not only their athletic facilities, but also school buildings. It makes LSU’s campus look like crap. Are we really just that underfunded?
Can help but think this can be a factor in recruiting.

I feel this thread will take a political turn

Bama has a very large out of state student population. More money. Also the beach tourism money doesn’t hurt

Two words: Nap. Pods.
And yes, They are better than stupid school buildings.

LOL.
The athletes have it made. They aren't slumming in Middleton.

LSU is one of the more beautiful campuses I’ve ever been on. Pretty much every guest I ever had there agreed when they visited.

US Senator Shelby got a lot of federal money put into the University of Alabama particularly for the Engineering department.

LSU is woefully underfunded. Don’t you recall when Jindal was in office how budget cuts forced the campus buildings and grounds maintenance department to operate with the bare minimum?

The board at LSU wanted to buy all the land north of the college to I-10, the governor stopped that plan and now LSU have to build parking lots in between buildings and everywhere they can find a spot. Bobby stopped all those great plans.
LSU should go back to that plan as we have a newer governor who understands growth is a good thing for LSU, Baton Rouge and Louisiana.

Who Cares? The buildings are shitty but the campus is beautiful. You should be there to study and get out of school making some money. When i was there I never once thought wow these buildings are gross. I was just proud to be there.

The OP is being downvoted, but he is right (except with respect to the effect on recruiting). Alabama is devoting significant resources to its big universities and it shows. It is not just UA. A fuller discussion of the causes/effects belongs on the Political board.

No one is saying otherwise. It’s the underfunded buildings on the campus that are old and outdated, not the trees and land itself.

Check out the new business school or Patrick F. Taylor Hall, all of the new residence halls, etc. There have been a lot of improvements made over the past 5-10 years.

You need to get out more. When I travel I like to see other campuses. The gorgeous oak tress all over LSU are like no other place. It's top 5 in the country IMO. Cal Berkley is a dump, the U, Miami, I thought would be nice but was c- maybe D. White boxes, disappointing landscaping for Florida. Virginia Tech all a white granite, nice but zero trees, etc. Hard to beat LSU.

Should’ve stayed there Gump

Louisiana is spreading its funding too thin.
It needs to consolidate some of its universities.
