re: Would LSU be more appealing if Baton Rouge cleaned itself up?

Then if you take highland from downtown to campus, that’s a shitshow.

you really think any of the coaches at LSU live downtown? who is commuting daily from downtown to campus?

Nobody with means is living downtown or north of downtown because of the industrial plants. If you have means and want to live "intown", you would pick something off of jefferson in the area north of 10/12, south of florida, and west of airline. South of independence park, maybe stay south of Goodwood. There are several nice areas off of jefferson extending on to tiger bend.

If you wanted out of the city, go southeast of campus on nicholson, pick something in one of those nicer newer subdivisions,

If you want out out of the city, keep going on hwy 30 and get a nice place in the duplessis area, or go further to dutchtown or across I10 something in praireville or galvez. You can actually cross the amite and get to I 12 if you want to go the florida beaches without heading towards baton rouge or towards new orleans.

or, if you could just live north of amite in livingston off of I12.

Baton rouge is not the "hood" you guys make it out to be. is not a large city but It is not that hard to avoid "bad areas",

unless you believe the coach at LSU needs to buy maypop tires, or has to have blue store chicken, he would never see the seedy side of baton rouge,

Now the zoo, i will give you. but It is not impossible to get to the zoo without seeing poor people, but if you some you will be okay.

The only thing to remember about LSU is to stay away from streets named after presidents.
