re: LSU students from Texas, when did the big push start?

quote:

---

My first tuition check to LSU was $1210 full time student plus $900 for Kirby Smith. My dad paid ~$28k for my entire education

I'd start with $2000 to start every semester. Part from my parents, part from a summer job. That paid room & board, books, fraternity dues, and I had a little left over for spending money. I had a small academic scholly that covered tuition, but tuition was almost nothing anyway.
