LSU/College in the 80s

Were you just desperate for a thread topic or something?

You wouldn't believe it if I told you

My Dad and mother graduated in the late 70's. Dad was a Sigma Nu, my mom was an international student (which was less common at the time). My dad says that fat girls were nonexistent and even some of the most average guys could hook up or date a decent looking girl. Hippie/SJWs were less common at LSU than at other universities back then. Academics were important but LSU didn't have as near as an academic reputation it has now and was a lot more relaxed as a result. My mom originally wanted to go to Tulane or Rice but kind of settled on LSU.

My college roommate was always complaining we had coeds wearing the knee shorts in the 80’s while the 60’s had free love, panty raids and mini skirts.
I would point out that’s probably the main reason we were able to graduate

70s can’t be beat, there were basically no rules

Sounds heavenly

for an engineer the 60's were a huge development time

Started with paper, pencil and ended with TI calculators

Control theory started with pneumatics, went to analog then digital

Applied chemistry was in its last major growth period

Sugar mill/laboratory was still in operation

rotc was a required disapline

drinking was not inhibited and panty raids were a thing





I got a degree that paid for itself many times over

I’d like to help you but my college years from 1978-1982 are a still a little hazy. I’m pretty sure beer was a factor.
