  4. Campus Life • There are over 350 student organizations currently active at LSU, including a student government and a total of 38 fraternities and sororities.

  5. Location • The current LSU campus is located on 2,000 acres just south of downtown Baton Rouge. A majority of the university's 250 buildings occupy a plateau on the banks of the Mississippi River. • LSU’s campus is also known for the 1,200 live oak trees that shade the ground of the university.

  6. Weather • Baton Rouge is a warm city, with constant hot weather throughout the summer months and a mild climate during the winter. One of the most popular times to visit the Baton Rouge area is during February, March and April, when the weather is fine and the temperatures are cooler, averaging around 71°F. • Much of Baton Rouge is extremely flat and the drainage can be poor, so during rainy weather many areas quickly flood, meaning that driving in heavy rain can be hazardous. Rain is not unusual in Baton Rouge and falls evenly throughout the year, although rainy weather is often short and quickly vanishes.

  7. Museums • * Andonie Museum • * Hilltop Arboretum • * LSU Museum of Art • * Museum of Natural History • * Museum of Natural Science • * Rural Life Museum • * Textile & Costume Museum • * U.S. Civil War Center • The LSU campus houses eight museums that feature original works by students

  9. Sports Fans The stadium, nicknamed "Deaf Valley" for its excruciating levels of sound, is legendary for the crowd noise generated by fans. It is the sixth largest college football stadium in the nation, holding 92,400 fans. The Tiger Stadium atmosphere is generally considered one of the loudest and most electrifying college football experiences in the country. In the legendary "Earthquake Game" against Auburn in 1988 the crowd's roar registered on a seismograph, shaking the ground as much as a small earthquake.
