Need current LSU student to help me with housing

Hey,
I'm 21 yo from England coming to study at LSU in august because I live so far away I can't view housing options.
I'm either going to go for Nicholson gateway apartments or west campus I really want something social so I can mix with people, anyone know which of these is better?
thanks!

Glad you came to the OT for this.

You should definitely try plank road. There’s a special transit line from there straight to campus for you.

I have been away from campus too long to give you any real comparison info, but from what I have heard, Nicholson Gateway Apartments are awesome...I pass them every Saturday during football season and am just amazed at how far things have come since I attended. Nicholson Gateway are right across from the stadium and the whole area is just buzzing on gameday. Hope you enjoy your time in BR!
ETA: it is a little late here for a sunday night, so there really are not too many intelligent people posting right now. you may want to bump this in 12 or so hours.

smells of wire transfer scam

Nicholson gateway is newer and almost assuredly better in quality. It has close food options but wca is also close to chimes street, which is classic LSU. It is also a bit closer by about at least 5-10 minutes walking. WCA isn’t that bad. It’s just a regular arse apartment pretty close to classes.

Nicholson gateway apartments are brand new. Personally, I haven't been inside them. It even has a grocery store in the complex.
West Campus apartments are fine. They're around 5-10 yrs old.
Both apartments are well within walking distance to campus
Just don't move into El Cid

Just because I am feeling benevolent tonight I will tell you to not listen to a word of advice you get here, unless it is more than a couple of short sentences. The OT is not usually the place to get helpful advice.

Cheers. Don't listen to the jokers. Someone will be along soon with good information.

I googled EL cid looks so friendly

El Cid is just a meme around here.

I will say this, you might get a lot of bullshite answers here. That's just how it is on this board, but if you want to get familiar with Baton Rouge, South Louisiana... This board will get you there..

So you're on here around 445am GB time on a Monday morning?

Definitely a huge difference to where I live in Manchester England, really looking forward to attending my first LSU football game
