Published On 19 May 2025 by Ryan Kelly

This week’s campus spotlight takes us down to Baton Rouge—Louisiana State University! 

Location: Set along the mighty Mississippi River, LSU’s campus is a Southern gem full of stately oaks, crepe myrtles, and rich cultural heritage. With its vibrant local flavor, warm weather, and strong community spirit, Baton Rouge offers students a unique blend of academic ambition and Southern hospitality.

Athletics: At LSU, sports are more than just games—they’re a way of life. The roar of Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night is legendary, and the passion of the Purple and Gold fans is unmatched. From football and baseball to gymnastics and track, LSU Tigers compete with grit, pride, and a whole lot of heart. Geaux Tigers! 

Academics & Mission: As Louisiana’s flagship university, LSU is committed to excellence in education, research, and service. With nationally recognized programs in areas like engineering, coastal science, agriculture, and the arts, LSU empowers students to become leaders and problem-solvers. Innovation, diversity, and impact are at the core of the Tiger experience.

Where tradition meets transformation. Love Purple, Live Gold!
