There was complex in that area called the Embassy. Is it still there? Seems like a prime target for a teardown.
Renovated and re-branded. So far it hasn't been torn down, but IMO it is on some excellent real estate.

Private investors keep pumping millions of dollars into the area around LSU. Development is heavy on campus, north of the campus and south of the campus.
Meanwhile little has been done to improve traffic or drainage. Law enforcement also has been neglected.
It’s starting to hit the fan already.
If more students are located within walking distance of campus, wouldn’t that improve traffic over having them spread out across the city?

"LSU is so far behind other schools when it comes to student housing that it is embarrassing."
have you been on campus in last five years???
cypress hall...cedar halll...etc...azalea hall opened this year....others being redone or coming down...all the new housing stores by the stadium (was married students)
they are redoing things that generate money

That area is thriving with high end apartment complexes; El Cid and Bordeaux right around the corner.
It’s great for game days too. My friend used to live in a house around there, prob gone now. We would walk through td village to our tailgate and mingle. I guess not a bad walk to classes in ceba or whatever it’s called now.
I think it’s a good thing. When I was there the new stuff seemed to be built further away from campus.
Now I don’t know how parents afford it, but still bettter they are fixing up more adjacent run down areas.

IMO, the LSU Foundation should be buying up any property that comes available in that area. They’ve been doing it on the north side of campus. The creeping crime on that side of campus is going to make it just like the north side. The problem is another newer flashier building will open in a few years. This development will start losing residents, ala the Burbank corridor where the murder occurred.

No wonder college kids have so much fricking debt these days living in places like this. When I was in college I lived in some roach infested shithole with 3 roommates and ate ramen noodles and mac and cheese every day.

Students have always lived around the campus.
But now you have students living around campus and all the section 8 apartments with more people.
There are more and more folks living around campus. More than ever before. The roads and streets haven’t kept up.

that would have been generic mac and cheese in the white box....and my beer came in white or yellow cans that said "beer"...

It's not. Just get a government backed loan and hope they forgive the debt.
At least it seems that is the way it works now. I had to take semesters off to work and pay for that shite.
I work in higher education and you'd be surprised how many college students have to work long hours to pay for their degree, yet still want to be babied and don't take responsibility for their education. It's quite shocking.
Another thing that shocked me was how, at my institution at least, how if something goes wrong and the student doesn't graduate on time, it's primarily the advisor's fault as opposed to the student's fault. So, it's also partially the school's fault that the kids expect to be babied.
I know when I was in undergrad, I was constantly checking my degree progress to make sure I was getting my education done in a timely manner. I occasionally saw my advisor, but I certainly wasn't dependent on my advisor to tell me exactly what to do.

I love that one of the main selling points according to the media is that it has 60" flat screens. 60" flat screens? wow! Such opulence.
It may not be a huge selling point but certainly a benefit to both occupant and management. Tenant doesn’t have to worry about getting a tv or deciding who would provide one for the common area. Management doesn’t have to worry about tenants mounting their own tv’s however and wherever they choose.

These are "luxury" apartments. People in trailer parks have at least 60" flat screens. They are ubiquitous in living areas.
60" is small/cheap these days.
