If you have to ask, then don't come to LSU. But, if you want a great education include in a little fun, maybe join a fraternity and attend LSU football games, which is a must, then go to LSU and in the rest of your life be proud to say " I graduated from LSU"..........or don't come and regret it the rest of your life......it's a no brainer!!!

What are you thinking for a major?
Posted on 1/27/09 at 6:02 am to Big Choke Bob
Here is an honest answer and this is without reading through the 4+ pages this thread has amassed......If you want an experience where you can come to school and get wasted 5 of 7 nights in the week you can find that. That route may not keep you in Baton Rouge for a long time. Also if you want to come in a get a great education, that IMHO is vastly undervalued by the professional world, and do it with honors that is also possible. It is also possible to come here and enjoy everything that I'm sure has already been mentioned in the thread and graduate with a degree to boot. Bottom line LSU is a great experience but you have to choose which experience you want for yourself.

Why should we convince you? Stay home for all I care.

Our awesome band doesn't wear cowboy hats.

Mesquite trees, cowboy hats, boots and country & western music was never my idea of a good time, eventhough I am a Texan (I can't hide it...I have that "drawl")!
Lived in Louisiana now for 28 years and I'm not moving...even back to my family. Get ya some shrimp boots, a cast net and come on down!

I'm from Texas. Came to LSU, joined a fraternity, and the rest is history. Best decision of my life. Been spelling Geaux the right way ever since.
That said, I've got a brother and sister that go to UT, and they're enjoying themselves too. Austin is an awesome city. Either way you go, you can't go wrong. Don't stress about it.

If you're looking for a freshman gpa of 0.0 - 0.8 but a helluva time doing it, go to LSU.

You brought a tear to my eye thinking of those fun days at LSU.

I will tell you a basic difference of why LSU games are better than other colleges...
By the end of the game, no matter the outcome, you will feel like you are sitting with a group of friends even if you didn't know the people around you when the game started...it is a blast.
Even away games when you are sitting near other LSU fans, it is the same way.
I have been to:
Texas, A&M, USC, and UCLA games with fans from that team and it never happens elsewhere.
Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night is an experience that can't be duplicated.
My 4.5 yrs at LSU were the best of my life and unless I win the lottery tomorrow, it will always be (my apologies to my fiancee')

So true. At one time I had season tickets to UCLA games. Now I did enjoy going to the games because I could watch the game itself and not be emotionally involved like I am with LSU, but the comraderie and sense of "family" that you have at LSU is very special.

UCLA and USC games are the worst.
No energy even when their teams are doing well.
USC fans are now so spoiled that they get down on their team immediately if things don't go well for more than 1 play in a row.
I was there two yrs ago for OR ST. and they were boo-ing Sanchez in the first quarter.

Big Choke Bob?
I hope you're not coming to play sports. We don't need any chokers.

If you like a band that plays two notes and an atmosphere comparable to a funeral dirge, well, $C is the place to go.

I grew up in Chicago. I was fortunate enough to be accepted to a wide range of colleges. Certain of my family members had attended the University of Chicago and many expected I would follow in their footsteps. But LSU offered me an academic scholarship and my dad encouraged me to fly down to Baton Rouge. I was a shy child and I think he sensed that the unique Louisiana joie de vive would benefit me.
I visited the campus. On my first day there, my father and I wandered into an empty Tiger Stadium, echoing like the Coliseum. On my first night there, a beautiful LSU ambassador took a group of admitted students to a bar called Sports. By the time I woke up the next morning, I couldn't imagine attending school elsewhere.
I enrolled. I was in the honors program. I was mentored by a great philosophy professor who honed my mind. I pledged a fraternity. I danced at the Varsity. I learned how to drink bourbon. And, more often, Natty Light. I fell into and out of the warm sea of infatuation. I went to bed one Friday night, expecting nothing, and woke to pandemonium: LSU tailgating. I memorized the fight song. Saturdays in the fall became sacrosanct.
In the spring, I surfed the Mardi Gras crowds on Bourbon. Or lounged in the Sunday silence of the quad. Or listened to the ping of the bats in Alex Box.
The entire city seemed supported by a legion of bronzed young female legs, long and glistening.
The sunlight reflected on the lakes.
I met the man who is, to this day, my best friend.
There were moments. There was a night I went to the movies at the Union with a moon goddess. There was an endless day spent playing pick-up football on the Parade Grounds.
There was laughter, so much laughter that I couldn't honor it all here, the sort of laughter you effortlessly, casually spill when you are young, the arm in arm drunken laughter of 2 AM.
I was no longer shy.
In movie class, I met a pretty Cajun girl with long brown hair. I visited her sorority house. We went to the Chimes. We kissed when LSU felled the mighty Gators. She brought me home to Lafayette. To my surprise, her father said I could have her hand. We were married beneath the oaks of a plantation under a wide and dazzling summer sky.
As they say, it was the time of my life.
And when you decide to attend LSU, it'll be yours too.
I envy you, kid.
