Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | LSU is a good state school. If you don't already live in Louisiana, though, I don't know if I would recommend it. Many scholarships are available to residents, which would make it quite worthwhile. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | LSU is not nationally known for their psychology program. Law, medical, and engineering are the fields they're more known for. |
| Program Quality | 5 | LSU is not nationally known for their psychology program. Law, medical, and engineering are the fields they're more known for. |
| Instruction | More than 5 years ago | |
| How Difficult | 5 | LSU is a state school. They're not known for having strenuous standards. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | In upper level classes there were quite a few hands on experiences available. In lower level classes, book learning was more the norm. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | There were a wide range of morning and evening classes. However, many core classes were only offered at certain times, sometimes in conflict with other core classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | The LSU library network had a wide range of materials. Professors were often available as well. |
| Social Life | 10 | LSU has many nationally ranked athletic teams. These contribute to the overall feeling of school spirit. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I never used their placement services. They were available to me, but I chose not to use them. |

"Once I graduated, I realized to a great extent that a degree from any school is as good as another. I had a great time while at college, and got my degree."

| Would Recommend? | maybe | My major and career don't reflect one another. I'm not sure if I'd recommend my career to anyone. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | LSU is known for agriculture and mechanics. It is not known for its psychology programs. |
| Program Quality | 6 | LSU is not known for it's stellar psychology program, yet I still feel like I learned a lot. If I ever go to grad school, I doubt it will be at LSU. |
| Instruction | 7 | LSU is quite good at preparing students for life. They employ many good teachers. |
| How Difficult | 5 | LSU is in a state with a relatively low literacy rate. The fact that anyone goes to college should be a point to be proud of. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I took both textbook oriented classes and lab classes. I think it depends on what your major is as to how much hands on experience you get. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | There were a wide variety of times to take classes. I took several night classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | LSU has an enormous library. It also has many tutoring programs available. |
| Social Life | 10 | LSU is known as a sports school and party school. The level of social involvement is very, very high. |
| Placement Services | 5 | My rating is just a guess. I never used the career placement programs, but I know they existed while I was there. |
| Alumni Network | 8 | There are LSU alumni associations all over the world. Pride in LSU runs very strongly. |
