Hi all,

As some of you may have noticed, there's been quite an increase in "will I get accepted?" posts in the sub lately. In an effort to condense the amount of those posts that we're seeing, please use this thread as a discussion board on that topic. Any new posts relating to acceptance or guidance on acceptance, etc... will be removed.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, and Geaux Tigers!

New Student Questions What elective courses should I choose?

3 Upvotes

Hello, all! I'm currently looking through the flowchart for my bachelor’s degree and I’ll need to pick out some electives for my first year (two semesters). The first elective requires a one-hour course, while the second requires a three-hour course. What are some recommendations that you'd have for electives that fit these requirements? If anyone so happens to have a list of electives including their hours, it would be great if you could provide me with that!

New Student Questions Financial Aid Help

Post image
1 Upvotes
  1. Can someone please tell me if this is an Instate Tuition rate or out of state? I’m able to get Instate tuition since my family owns property there and other unimportant stuff and I was supposed to be classified as an Instate Student.

  2. Is the cost of attendance what I would be paying to the school or an estimate? And if not how much would I be paying to the school without financial aid help?

  3. Where can I see my work study amount? My Fafsa says i’m eligible for it and it’s nowhere in my application!

New Student Questions Is biking to LSU campus from ~10 miles out feasible and safe?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'll be moving to Baton Rouge soon to join LSU and was wondering how feasible it is to bike to campus from a 10-mile radius. I'm considering commuting daily by bicycle, and I’d really appreciate some local insight.

(1) How is the biking infrastructure in general? Are there designated bike lanes? (2) How safe is it to bike, especially during early mornings or evenings? (3) Is bike theft a concern on or around campus? (4) Are there secure places to park and lock your bike?

Any tips on good routes or neighborhoods to live in if I plan to bike? Thanks in advance for any info you can share!

Hi everyone!! How do I know if my financial aid package is complete? I didn’t receive an email or anything stating that it was complete but on the workday portal it does state the amount of money I received in grants and scholarships. Is it possible that they are still working on it or is that the finalized package?

New Student Questions Help deciding between LSU and Texas A&M

3 Upvotes

For starters, I am planning on majoring in something in engineering. likely electrical, and I am having trouble deciding between either Texas A&M and LSU. I have already been admitted to both, but I have been too busy to visit either, only getting a general feel through virtual tours and through research, but I am planning on visiting both colleges within the next 2-ish weeks. I know Texas A&M has a very strong engineering program in general, as well as having very strong ties for research opportunities (although really competitive) and me and my family have a way to pay for it, but either way LSU is much cheaper due to being in-state and getting some money from TOPS and an honors scholarship, and it has its own respectable engineering program and it would probably be easier for me to get my hands on some research opportunities due to likely being less competitive, 100% not trying to downplay anything just kind of laying out what I have gotten a sense of, honestly not even sure if I am correct. I also know a lot more people going to LSU, since I am from New Orleans, but I am not too worried about making friends during college anyway. I plan on pursuing my masters, so I also think that the name of Texas A&M would be recognized a little more. In your guys' honest opinion, what do you think I should prioritize? How much do you think I should value campus life?

Which should I choose?

New Student Questions What do these numbers mean?

5 Upvotes

So, I'm looking over the required courses for my bachelor’s degree, and I'm wondering what the numbers in parentheses mean. At first, I thought it stood for the hours for each course, but after adding them all up I realized that it was more than the total semester hours. Does anybody know what these mean by chance?

Housing Questions Roommate search

3 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I'm an incoming graduate student looking for roommates. I need to live with people who are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and on the bus line. I'd prefer to live with mostly women and non-binary people, but co-ed is okay as long as it's not just me in a dorm of guys. I'm looking at Beau Chene, The Oliver, and Campus Crossings Brightside, but I'd be happy to move anywhere with rent under 600 or all-inclusive for under 680. I'd prefer unfurnished, with an electric stove.

If you're interested, DM me (and I can tell you more about myself!)! Or if you have other ideas where to look, let me know; Facebook hasn't been helpful thus far.

New Student Questions LSU COST HELP!

0 Upvotes

I recently got accepted into LSU, and I saw online that the direct cost will be $27,876. I haven’t received my financial aid packet yet, but FAFSA offered me $7,395 in grants and $5,500 in loans, and they said I’m eligible for work-study.

Additionally, I’ve been offered a $4,104 scholarship for the Pre-Scholars Academy summer program, which will cover my summer tuition and fees. The school will also cover housing and meals during the program.

I have a few questions: 1. How generous is LSU’s work-study program? How much can I realistically expect to earn? 2. Will the $4,104 scholarship for the Pre-Scholars Academy summer program affect my tuition and make it cheaper, or does it apply differently? 3. How long did it take for you to receive your financial aid package after being accepted?

Thanks for the help!

New Student Questions Honors College Scholarships

Has anyone received any Honors College Scholarships, other than the big ones? The deadline for the other Honors scholarships was 3/15. My son submitted his applications on time and we haven’t heard anything yet. Just wondering because the financial aid does not show anything other than the initial merit award. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
