10 Thing to Know Before Coming To LSU
Best Colleges Online

1) The entirety of "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks

And at least the chorus of "From Louisiana" and "Louisiana Saturday Night". No matter what bar or tailgate you go to, you'll hear all of these at least twice throughout your time there.

2) It's a marathon, not a sprint

SEC tailgating is like nothing you've ever experienced before, I'm just going to leave it at that.

3) Death Valley is louder than you'd expect

Sure everyone has told you this, but nobody can prepare you for the roar of that first home game.

4) The alma mater is law

No matter where you're from or where you're headed, you always grab whoever is next to you and sing the alma mater with your tiger family every football game. Sure, nobody gets the words right even though they're on the screen in front of us, but it is a beautiful bonding moment nonetheless.

5) LSU parking is no joke

PARK WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO. Take it from someone who's been ticketed and towed for the smallest things, just follow the rules.

6) Outtakes/ Take 5

These are the best part of having a meal plan, its like having a super CVS within walking distance of your dorm, but the CVS has sushi, pizza and mozzarella sticks.

7) There is a Starbucks in the design building

LSU's best kept secret, and this one takes Starbucks gift cards, you're welcome.

8) The McDonald's in the Union is always serving ice cream

No really, throughout my time here their machine has never been broken. Yeah, a McDonald's where the ice cream machine always works. You read that right.

9) During exams there are stress dogs in Middleton Library

Honestly thats enough of a reason to love LSU I don't even need to say anything else.

10) LSU is Home

We're all tigers through and through, and nobody can take that away from us. Everyone here has purple and gold running through their veins and is going to welcome you into our community with as much love as they have to offer. This campus is our home, and we can't wait for it to be yours too.
