Quality of life and safety at LSU?

Tell them not to venture farther north than Roosevelt.

i never felt unsafe, but i was a 6'3 200lb male

Trust Murphy Paul to be a professional LEO & administrator.

And the City/Parish to support Law Enforcement.

Your child should be fine.

I agree. There was never a fight when I went to LSU. Never had a shooting north of campus either.

my, my how times have changed. They used to warn us about walking home drunk from Murpheys and going down Carlotta Street. That was the biggest threat we faced. That and Bud Richey or Kathy Marcel fricking up our parties.

So since the gender surgery, what do you weigh now?

I left B.R. in '91 and couldn't imagine living there now. My son chose to go to LA Tech over LSU. Ruston may not be much but he didn't like B.R. at all.

Quality of life and safety at LSU

They get to live in fancy new on-campus apartments with high end finishes, flat screen TV's, a door you have to scan into, and not a single cockroach. And they can walk to restaurants and grocery stores on campus safely without worrying if Derek Todd Lee is going to get them. And they have a lazy river and a badass rec center.

They are way better off than when I was there.

When I was at LSU they advised folks to walk in groups at night, to avoid poorly lit areas and some of the "shortcuts" that were isolated between buildings and such. Especially female students. There were several rapes that had occurred as well as some armed robberies but LSU would try to keep the lid on that info going public. That was in 1980.


I have one kid who graduated last December and another who is a senior now. I always advised them not to go north of campus alone. Anything that happens now gets broadcast, which is good but makes it look like things there are awful. Though I have seen a noticeable increase in incidents the last couple of years.
