22 ACT still do the trick?


There are kids being admitted into LSU with ACT scores of 15 & 16.

It wouldn't surprise me to find kids at LSU with no ACT score.

“ I'm interested to see updated demographic information for this school year. It certainly seems like it”


I spend a lot of time on campus and walk it in the mornings.. I am retired..

There has definitely been a change..,
I am not sure if the percentage of demographics has changed.. but the “style” of clothing and fashion certainly has.. which can often represent different personalities… also I find you often walk into an area with very large congregations of the various demographics in clusters.. not just a variety of college kids all intermingled..

The best way to describe it is it's now like a Louisiana high school. It's a mix of races and cultures and it seems like the students are acting like the more poor and trashier culture.

Just my thought.........ever since the Southern game we have turned out to be more ghetto and dope smoking on campus on game day. It was the turning point IMO. As one poster said, the north gate area is basically a strip club atmosphere. They don't really wear clothes. I have no clue as to the Mon-Friday people.

There are alot of people that have no idea just how many black folks LSU has enrolled in just the past 5 years.

Then get shocked to see all the black folks

It’s by design

Seems like the record was broken in 2021 and has only increased.

Tate's goal was to get it to 33 percent black, just like the state demographics. Thank Democrats for what Lsu has become.

One thing Jeff Landry has done that is good is to chase away that slime Tate.

I only attend the home football games and on the side of campus which I tailgate is not ghetto at all. I seldom see anyone that is not Caucasian.

Now, on the way through campus I do see more ethnic students however, just because a person is black, I don’t consider that ghetto.

The wife and I have been taking evening Jeep rides for over 8+ years around campus and the area. I noticed a big change 2 years ago. Especially the weed smell and the culture.

I attended LSU games in 2014 and then in 2022. I was astounded by the changes I witnessed. In 2022, it was just pervasive ghetto and ratchetness, and it was everywhere. I got a contact high because there was more marijuana in the air than oxygen.

North gates beyond State Street has always been kinda ghetto. Once you got beyond Roosevelt. It got bad fast

Honestly don't know why the powers that be in BR allowed Tigerland to become overrun by Sec 8 types that ruined even the commercial activity on Nicholson. But I guess it was inevitable after Gardere turned into a hell hole.

I visited 2 weeks ago after not setting foot on campus in 5 years.

It was astoundingly ghetto. I was legitimately saddened.


This is the very reason LK would take the UF job over LSU.
I just don't see him moving his kids to this environment.

LK will stay at Ole Miss or take the UF job.

Yes. It's gotten bad.

All my siblings went, and when they would come visit, they were shocked how bad it was.

Honestly, I regret not going to UT-Austin

Son visited 3 years ago. When we drove onto campus he said we can turn around and go home now. He went to Tech and loves it.
