I am moving to BR. I need a place to stay and they have some pretty good prices. The thing is I've read it is a place for religious people. My girlfriend would stay over one night a week. Should I look elsewhere?

I've never lived there but those are the old Jimmy Swaggart dorms that were converted into studio apartments I believe. I don't think they are affiliated with Swaggart so it's not religious to my knowledge. Swaggart likes his hookers anyway so who cares what they think The location is great fwiw.

Idk how much they enforce it but when you apply they give you a huge contract full of weird rules like not having opposite sex partners stay the night and not drinking etc etc

It's also a month to month arrangement on both parties, so I assume if they bust you with your GF you'll be looking for a new place to stay in short notice

Dude I knew in college did. No alcohol allowed in room, and can't drink anywhere on site. He stayed 6 months and he gone

Yeah I did for a month. The apartments are shite.

LSU med contracts out an apartment complex for the students to stay on the baton rouge rotations. Used to be in tigerland and one year they contracted out the Bluebonnet towers/swaggarts old buildings.

Cinderblock walls look just like old dorm rooms.

I hate apartment complexes. I would recommend checking out places in spanish town or beauregard town

You can't rent a 3BR home for roughly the same price

Have you looked at it? It's literally built to look like the Ten Commandments.

When I worked for the last census during college I was assigned those buildings. They were shitty then and full of less than desirable tenants - so much so that I assumed those buildings had some form of government subsidized housing (section 8).

And you will hate the traffic. Hate.

Do not live there. The girl that cuts my hair at super cuts moved down to Baton Rouge from upstate New York to go to the cult religious school that runs the place and lives there. She told me they can't have alcohol, no people of opposite sex in the rooms, and that if you're caught violating any of those they'll kick you out.

My father lives there. He is an extreme religious person with no money and Parkinsons. It is all sorts of depressing there. I think he pays about $350 (yep tree fiddy) a month for what is essentially 2 dorm rooms converted into a 1 bedroom apt. Cinderblock walls, a sink in each room and an industrial bathroom in the middle. Its basically a large jail cell with almost as many rules with the exception of being able to come and go as you please.

Do not, I repeat, do not move into Bluebonnet Towers. That place is like something from a Steven King novel.
