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

I don't think it'd be more prestigious, at least at first.
But I do think a nicer town/state would obviously lift it somewhat. It's a nice campus, it seems timeless in part. Sometimes the academic prestige follows other appeal.
SMU was a landing spot for rich kids well before the academic acclaim really caught up to it. I think you could make the argument that LSU would get a few more destination students if you picked it up and put it a nicer place, and in turn, it would see some eventual rise in standards/prestige.

I completely agree. While LSU has made some strides in the Nicholson area, for example, BR is still a dump and getting worse in many ways. Go visit a functioning city and then come back home.
Our "leaders" can't even get the roads painted in many areas. You notice a lot of this teaching a teenager to drive. "Okay, now follow the line on the double left turn." "Mom, I don't see a line." All while trying to avoid a crackhead teetering into the street. SMH
