Marsh Hall, baton-rouge-la

My child was told by email that he could move dorm rooms after having a nightmare roommate. He was forced to continue living with this person until housing opened a portal to change rooms. He tried talking to his RA and RC but neither wanted to help him. He went to the housing office and was told he needed to fill out a form. He filled out the forms. After he received permission to move and was told of his new room number he was relieved and excited for a fresh start. He was told he had to vacate his room first and check out of his old room before he could move to his new dorm and new roommate. He also had to argue to get a cart to help move all his belongings. After he had moved out with most of his things in a cart and the rest in his car he was taken to the new room he was assigned that he couldn't move into. The people in the new room didn't know he was coming and there was no space for him. He had to sit in the lobby for hours with all his things. The people in charge first asked if he could just move back into the room he just vacated! Then the staff asked the students on some chat for the dorm if he could stay with someone in their room. He was put in a room as a guest until Monday where he will be forced to move again! LSU talks like they have a team to take care of your child but this is all talk. The school requires our children live in the dorms their first year but in my child's case he is homeless and has to be a guest until they find him a space. It is hard to trust that my child is being cared for when his basic need of shelter is being neglected. How is he to feel he has a home there? How can he do his homework or feel safe there. I am understandably upset by this situation and I hope it has not or does not happen to others. The system in place should be changed.

The Pentagon dorms are old and run down, they make freshmen stay on campus with very little choice on which dorm they get and then we have to move out for the next year, yet they have no openings for the on campus apartments. We were on a waitlist which did nothing and now we are having to look for an apartment off campus, and there's no parking so if you have to drive in each day, good luck finding a spot! For as much money we pay and that LSU receives in general, you would think they would build more on campus housing and parking lots! I'm really disappointed with our experience at this school...would have definitely chose another option!

Kirby-Smith Hall, the abandoned looking building that looks like the old EKL Hospital, behind Cedar Hall. Don't do it! As a 1st year student, I would prefer my child stay home than here. Too bad you can't cancel your housing contract without penalties. Go Tigers!

They do not work with your child, like they agree they would. Do not look for any help when it comes to issues that may arise. :)

Hey love your school I will be coming there soon like 2027
