With all these new apartment complexes going up around LSU..

Is there any smoke to the fire that they are preparing for a much larger influx of students? It seems as though the area was already saturated with apartment complexes and the traffic is already atrocious in the area during drive times. Why now add on huge complexes like those two going up on Burbank and that huge development on Parker?
Simply curious to hear from anyone in the know or from someone who can justify the profitability of a new complex in a cluttered area. TIA

i think it means there is going to be a lot of empty apartments around campus in the next 10 years.

All the new students from the closed universities need somewhere to live

Well LSU just had it's largest freshman class ever. So building new complexes isn't that big of a stretch...

Thanks to TOPS, parents nowadays can afford to buy their kids brand new SUVs and live in luxury apartments.

I understand that, but they built that Sterling place just in 2015, the Standard in 2015, and that exchange place on Burbank as well? It seems like overkill at this point.

JBE won't close anything.
Not saying they shouldn't close a lot of the excess universities but he won't.

Yep. I slummed it at The Commons

All these rich momma's boys students want to live in the newest apartments. Pretty soon the Cottages will be ghetto and the closest decent student apartments will be on Bluebonnet.

i did my 2 year stint at the commons

Legit question. Not just the student apartments but the "young professional" apartments as well. There is the place on Perkins and the ones on Bluebonnet.
According to the OT, living in Baton Rouge is akin to living in Baghdad so I don't understand the influx.

The Cottages were so poorly built they'll probably just tear them down and rebuild on that land by 2030.

The commmons weren't that bad at one time. But now, they look old.
I lived in Brightside Estates for 3 years. Those still look relatively good.

Why live at Gaslite and El Cid when you can empty daddy's pockets and live in a country club atmosphere?

I moved 5 different times while at LSU.
Never wanted to stay in the same place for more than a year.
