re: Best student apartments near LSU

I lived at U Club off of River Road. It's going to be close to $800 per room but it's the nicest of the "college communities." Whatever you do not not live in the Cottages, Woodlands, ECT on Burbank. They are cheap and will fall apart before you move out (I lived there for a year also). I never had any problems at U Club in 2 years with maintenance or management. There's also never traffic getting to campus and you can get home after game days since on River Road. All in all I liked it and with your budget I would go there or find a nice house somewhere.
