LSU has a wonderful, beautiful campus and the professors are mostly good to excellent. Certain departments are better than others, but overall I got a VERY good education there. Contrary to popular belief, the athletic program is not everything, especially to the professors, who consider LSU an institution for research and scholarship. Don't let the admission numbers fool you - there's a law in Louisiana mandating the university to admit native sons no matter how bad their GPAs or board exams are. Needless to say, at least half of all freshmen classes are weeded out ruthlessly within a year. The academic standards are pretty high.
