That place still standing?

Good Lord, I lived there 25 years ago and it was shite-hole then.

That's where I lived too, for the first semester anyway. They kicked us out and moved us to Hatcher in the spring semester (Jan 1997) to build the east campus apartments.

I know they are all kinda shitty though.

Not true. I'd recommend the Residential College Dorms. LSU will be opening new Residential College dorms this fall...

By 2020, LSU's going to a completely different campus and I will be very jelly.

I wouldn't be jealous. Most of it will be shut down due to budget cuts. There will however be lazy rivers coursing throughout the entire campus


To the OP. Don't worry about the "best dorm". Get in the one that has the best social scene. You meet lots of people that semester and you want to be where everyone is at. I'd want to be in the McVoy/Herget/Miller area if I had to do it again. I don't care how renovated Kirby Smith gets, I couldn't imagine staying there after spending a semester in it. Too many horrible memories. You want to be where girls are near. All guy dorms lead to some shitty living conditions.

Don't worry about it too much. My dorm was one of the "worst" (pentahood represent!) but we still had a blast. Dorm life was awesome.

Pentagon

Broussard. I stayed there in 05 just after it was remodeled. Carpet floors and plenty of room. Also it had a nice rec area and really close to the pentagon café.

ETA: and its COED! Meet my first College GF there right after Katrina hit NO. Lets just say I wasn't staying in my dorm room
