How much of that crime actually affects a students day to day lives? If your kid is aware and understands that there is trouble to be had then they’ll be fine like a vast majority of the kids that go there.
Thousands of parents from out of state decide that LSU is a good place for their kids to be. You stay around campus. Mind your business. Don’t get wasted and wander off in tiger land starting fights and you won’t be a “victim”.

As someone who spent time in Baton Rouge in the late '80s and early '90s there was never a time I felt unsafe in that city. Ran many a mile around LSU lakes, including late at night. Every summer I took classes at LSU and would walk extensively around the campus. Lots of dilapidated homes along Nicholson/Highland north of campus but even those areas never truly felt unsafe (had friends that lived on Nicholson back in the day).
Baton Rouge back then had that small city feel but you could sense that at any moment the city was ripe to take off. I guess you can blame politics... which is a shame because the city truly could have become much more than what it is (and portrayed) today.
It's a shame that a few events in the past continue to identify the city as a whole...RIP Murray Pace (dear friend of the family) who was murdered in her apartment near LSU back in 2002...
