Easy living

Campus residents enjoy the convenience of being close to classes, the library, the Rec Center, the Union, and tons of campus events. No need to fight the traffic when you can walk!

New faces, new friends

Students who live on campus meet more people. Friends are close by to study and hang out with. Friendships formed during college often last a lifetime.

Smooth transition

Each floor of the residence halls has a Resident Assistant (RA) or Residential College Mentor (RCM), who is a full-time, upper-class student trained as a resource to assist students in adjusting to college life.

Better grades

Research shows that students who live on campus perform better academically. Grade study reports conducted each semester typically reveal that freshmen who live in LSU residence halls earn higher grades overall than their off-campus peers.

High-tech learning

On-campus students benefit from ten computer labs with more than 100 computers. In-room data connections using the University’s fiber optics makes surfing the net a breeze. Plus, with a separate telephone line, students can talk and surf at the same time. Recently installed wireless networks in hall lobbies and courtyards provide convenience for students with laptops.

Residential colleges

Experience a living environment in which residents share two or three core freshman courses, study groups, and shared interests. The community focus of the residential college makes our BIG University feel like a small one.

Leadership opportunities

By living on campus, students are more likely to get involved in activities and organizations. Leadership skills look great on grad school applications and résumés.

One-time payment

Students pay their room rate at the beginning of the semester with one payment on the fee bill. No need to worry about the “rent due” date every month.

Location, location, location!

Roll out of bed and get to class in 10 minutes or less. Take those power naps in your own bed between classes!

Staying informed

Banners in your lobby, fliers, campus newspapers, your resident assistant, and other campus leaders will keep you informed of the latest happenings on campus. You’ll always know what’s going on when you live within our gates!
