The commons look like they're about 3x older than what they actually are.

North Gates still ghetto? I was at LSU two years ago and they were making a push to add more student housing.

Exactly, it looks more like a theme park than a school.

Anyone know what is being developed at the end of Burbank on the land opposite the soccer fields approaching the Highland/Siegan light?

You aren't even including the giant apartment complex they built on Perkins down from College. I think it has 900 units? And the IBM complex downtown as well as the one going in where the bank building used to be.

Not really sure where all of these people are coming from to fill these.

it looks better now than it did when i got to lsu in 2000, but the ghetto is still right on the non ghetto part. there isnt any transition. theres about a tenth of a mile of extended not ghetto after the gates

We aren't seeing as much of the over saturation of apartments yet in the non student housing, but it is coming. I'm a little worried. May be time for a career change...
