Are the West Campus Apartments strictly for Athletes?

Of all Sports? Mixed in with "Regular" Students? Are Athletic Dorms a thing of the past?

They are for football players if the players want to live there but students can also rent them out as well.

I've never known a non athlete that lived there but I'm sure there are some rooms left for non athletes. East Campus Apartments pretty much the exact same, just on other side of campus.

Housing designated purely for athletes is against NCAA rules.

Why anyone would want to live in WCA is beyond me. I lived in broussard my freshmen year and my dorm faced wca. Almost every night the athletes were out in the parking lot with the loud rap music and trunks rattling.

I lived there from 2008-2009. There were plenty of other non athletes there.

I knew a couple of people who lived in WCA

The apartments were really nice but he couldn't wait to move out
He lived there when there was that burglary spike and he got robbed twice

I lived in WCA my last year at LSU. It's really nice. I never had a problem with noise. I lived in the same building as Rueben Randle and Mo Claiborne.

I lived there for 3 years and enjoyed it. They were expensive but nice. I did have my car stolen from the parking lot though...

Why do people post when they don't actually know the answer. Several people in this thread, including myself, have stated that WCA is not exclusive to athletes.

I had friends that lived there as early as 2004.

I lived there all last year and am not an athlete.

This, but imagine being in the same building. It was ridiculous. Certainly wouldn't do it again if I had the choice.
