re: Time to get a few things straight about UL (ULL if it helps you sleep at night).

Are you guys really responding seriously to this dude? Obvious troll is obvious.

why pay the extra money to attend LSU vs. going to UL to recieve the same piece of paper? Do you really think your going to get a 'better' job? do you really think the employer really cares where you attend? Do you think you will get hired because your paper has LSU written on it?

---

If you plan to live in Baton Rouge or anywhere else in the country beside Lafayette the rest of your life ..Go to LSU.

Else go to ULL. We don't need the additional traffic anyway.

Thats great that you have pride in your school. The question is why do you insist on calling your school a name that doesn't exsist?

I guess if I went to Louisiana Sports University I would care more about things like the budget for athletics. Since I go school to learn, that's not too important to me.

This guy is wacky

Is ULL academically better than LSU in any degree field.(not saying ULL is a horrible school to get a degree from just asking)

What I do know about LSU is that they are the only tier 1 school in the state. Only school with multiple colleges in top 100(Science,engineering,ag and more). What does ULL have to offer on a nation wide type academic ranking.

If I was a graduating high school senior who could go to a lot of universities across the nation for free (I was), not much at all would make me want to go to ULL. Try going to a different state and asking them if they know what city the "University of Louisiana" is located. Odds are not many could tell you. No one sees ULL as a highly prestigous academic university other than the yourselves. And i'll forgive you for the mispells btw, I'm a chemical engineering major and I too cannot spell to save my life. As long as you get the point across, you're good to go in my opinion haha

In 2006 the university inaugurated the $29M technology initiative LITE Center, which offers the largest known three-dimensional-immersive auditorium for visualization of fully interactive 3D models and data sets for seismic analysis, computer-aided modeling, product stress test analysis and a host of other applications that require visualization of large data sets for scientists. The center collaborates with students in the architecture, engineering, computer science fields as well as others, allowing use of its facilities to increase local business and furthering of the technological economy in Lafayette.[20] Some of the UL Lafayette research projects using or supported by LITE include:

Cool. You guys have an auditorium that shows pretty 3D stuff. All it says is that yours is the biggest; not the only one.

and you know this how???

not knocking any of the schools mentioned but LSU is respected a hell of a lot more than any other public school in the state and its students will get the job if everything is equal

I guess this thread pretty much describes LSU's fanbase. I came in here as cool as a cucumber looking for a little mutual respect and instead I get attacked by every poster.

---

You don't respect folks by trying to take some shot about their Hoops fan's turnout.

Your logic is as flawed as your line of thinking. Par for the course.

Enjoy the W, and the fact that your University will stop at nothing to NOT be called by its actual name.

For all your "academic jingoism", you don't get that it all starts at home. When your school loathes itself so much it tries to change its name at every stop, what does that say about the institutions leaders, and their mindsets?

Have fun at UL-L.
