Um....
An LSU student arrested last week for protesting at a presidential search committee meeting said police became hostile toward her once they learned she is transgender.

If you can’t get into A&M or Texas. Would you rather go to OU, LSU, or Arkansas? I’d vote Arkansas.

I am not singling out a demographic. If they are Americans they have as much right as I do to that spot. But as a tax paying Texan I am pissed if my kid doesn’t get in and a Chinese citizen does. Currently more than 10% of UT are foreigners

The link Wiki is citing as the source for 2024 enrollment numbers is actually an article from fall 2021 with different numbers. Whoever updated the totals in the summary section and labeled it 2024 failed to update the citation or add a new one.
From the 2021 article thats linked as source.
Whoever did the original citation for the fall 2021 numbers didn’t notate the correct date of article and made it look like they retrieved something from the future…
Sometimes it’s difficult to compare apples to apples across years or even within years with LSU (probably others as well). Sometimes they include online and HS duel credit students in numbers, and other times they don’t. Sometimes freshmen numbers are the first time in college out of high school, and other times it’s any student with less than 30 hours. There are also articles or press releases by LSU that push pre-census numbers.
To see trends on campus I prefer to focus on undergraduates taking classes on the campus and the incoming freshman classes (1st time/1st year) attending classes on campus. It’s not that law school, vet school, graduate programs including executive MBA, dual-enrolled high schoolers, or online classes don’t count, but most of them have their own space they hang out in or come in off hours if at all with the onliners.

There are waaay too many people in college. At least half the people that are in college, don’t belong there. We should do like England (the only time you’ll EVER hear me say that). You have to qualify to go to University. Asked on high school and your test scores. If you don’t qualify, it’s off to trade school with ya. But nooo, it’s a “right” in this country! And with student loans, Pell grants and other giveaways and bullshite, the price just keeps going up!

LSU’s stadium dorms were Section 8 before any of their apartments were. Those things were awful.

The OT has informed me nobody is going to college and the ones that do have kids going to college won’t be applying to LSU.
Interesting data.

A good chunk of those are East and West coast HS students. Universities in California and New York are among the hardest in the U.S. to get into

Is this part of the trend where Northern kids are heading so for college to get a more authenticate college experience?

I thought it was that too many were going to college while going in debt with school loans used for degrees like sociology, rainbow/black studies, and similar that weren’t going to make enough money to pay back loans and have a life. That people going for these types of degrees would have been better off and in less debt by working straight out of high school and developing a skill.
Not sure who are the ones in “the ones that do have kids going to college won’t be applying to LSU.” Thats could be everyone with kids going to college now to maybe alumni with kids going to college now which sounds more like what I have read on the OT. I am not sure how the number of applicants by itself would prove that applicants are kids of alumni who are being pushed to apply to LSU by their parents.
Regardless at the end of the day if 62,000 is accurate and from graduating high schoolers LSU will admit around 45,000 new freshman and less than 20% of those admitted graduating high school students will actually choose to go to LSU.
Where the final enrollees are from, what scholarships or grants they received to attend, how many are Pell grant eligible (not sure I have seen LSU promote this since bragging in 2021 that the 30.3% of the fall 2021 freshman enrollees were Pell grant eligible), how many submitted ACT/SAT scores (for admissions, Honors college, and LSU based/controlled scholarships considerations), and how many are actually legacies would be better data to make this argument than the number of online common app applications submitted.

But at least they could require the residents to be LSU students. The ghetto apartments around LSU didn’t start off looking ghetto and trashy. That was caused by the non-student new residents who moved in when the students moved to newer apartments.

My kid wants to go there after graduating in 2027. Do I need to buy a place for her to live by a certain time for it to qualify so she doesn’t have to live on campus?
