Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Charlene

Pancake/Breakfast night during midterms and finals. Going to tigerland when we win football games.

Sarah

LSU is best known for its sports teams, especially LSU football. Football season here is crazy! Though sometimes I feel like it gets out of hand with the parking situation and traffic, if you live near campus, you won't have that many problems. We also get a lot of incentives to go to games, and some teachers give time off to go to games!

Zachary

My school is best known for its football team. LSU wows time and time again, but another important aspect that often gets overlooked is the Undergraduate Research program. This is wellknown to the people looking to better their learning experience. People from all over the world come to LSU during the summer to research all kinds of things. This is something I will definitely get into as I earn more credits and become more eligible. My whole is about science and understanding how the universe works these days. I want to figure it all out.

Kelly

Football. Tiger stadium is so loud that it was once recorded as an earthquake.

Michelle

A map can only give someone a small glimpse into what makes this campus so beautiful. You have to go there in order to experience the beautiful buildings, the rich histiory, and the magnificent oak trees. Having a good football team is great, but this school is about so much more than that. It is about the supportive advisors and the kindness of the people there. It is about having a picnic in the quad with your good friends and good food. It is about living by the ties that bind us all.

Melvin

I think that LSU is best known for their football team.

Ashlee

football and drinking

Tara

My school is best known for its football team and the amount of partying that the students do on the weekends and throughout the week.

Kelsey

Splatterbeat. Splatterbeat is an event that the LSU Residence Hall Association, RHA, started. During this event, people gather on the parade grounds and have the opportunity to drum on the lids of trashcans full of paint for 5 minutes and get drenched in paint. It is a messy, loud, fun event that basically everyone loves. If you have ever heard of the Blue Man Group, this event is quite similar to that.

Trent

My favorite campus tradition would have to be tailgating on the day of the football games. Everyone on LSU tailgates on game days and a good deal of non-students come to tailgate as well. Tailgating on the game days is a great relaxer from all the school and work, and being surrounded by all the purple and gold fills you up with school spirit. Just about every inch of campus gets covered in tents with music, food, games, and tv's for watching the game. I'd say tailgating is just as big a part of the game day as the actual game.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College is known for many things.

LSU is best known for their research, academics, commitment to community, sustainability for its campus, it's focus on agriculture and extension, it's culture and sports. LSU has so much to offer to society and is a school that genuinely cares. Through stately oaks and broad magnolias, LSU is a true molder of it's students, faculty, and staff.

Football. Home games have the most ridiculous and exciting tailgating anyone could ask for. The school spirit permeates through Louisiana in an almost tangible manner.
