When are they going downtown?
They arent going during the day during the week, they dont go during weekdays at night, and they dont go much during the weekends.
Downtown 3rd street on weekend nights is filled with central, zachary, baker etc people. During the week its a ghost town.
Its all relative.
They used to NEVER EVER go down there. It wasn't even an option as there was nothing there. They do occasionally now. Fraternities even rent out B&T's, or used to, for their parties. Seen lots of college kids at Tsunami happy hour and on weekends at the bars. One of the biggest issues was transportation and this would resolve that.
Making that whole corridor more appealing is a good thing IMO. A better downtown would result and that is very important for the city.
Plus it gives drunk students a safe free/cheap ride.
ETA:
Even when I was still in college in 2011 more and more people were starting to go downtown. The biggest issue we always heard was "how are we getting there and back?". Uber has helped, this will help even more. Connecting LSU to downtown is a good thing.

The biggest issue was there was nothing down there to go to. Now there is and transportation isnt a problem, especially with something like Uber. College students also have no problem getting into a car and driving.

It is a good thing imo but I dont think this tram will get a ton of use.

They had the drunk bus when I was in school and no one ever used it. LSU students as a whole arent going to use public transportation except to get to school during the day.
Typical scenario on a Friday night for LSU students. Everyone meets at my apartment to have some drinks before going out. Everyone is ready to go out. Hey lets go wait at the bus stop for 20 minutes for the bus/tram....not going to happen. Someone is going to say screw it im driving and we will deal with the driving situation later.
