re: To what extent would LSU be more prestigious if it were in a safer location?

Some people don’t want to hear the truth and remain willfully ignorant about the sad state of crime in BR, the negative force it has on all of us here, neighborhoods losing value, and a horrid public education system. And the fact that LSU is a walkthrough for so much violent crime now is the straw that broke the tiger’s back for my family. My child is off to out of state university in the fall. TOPS and Honors at LSU don’t mean a thing to us anymore. Very sad. We will also be moving out of South Louisiana. I’m originally from the New Orleans area and won’t go back there either.
