About Off-Campus Housing Near Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College
Louisiana State University drops around 34,300 Tigers into Baton Rouge, and on fall Saturdays the whole city bends around Tiger Stadium, the night-game cathedral known as Death Valley. Mike VII, the live tiger, lives in a habitat right next to the stadium, and students swear a glimpse before kickoff is good luck. The Golden Band from Tigerland marches the team down Victory Hill before every home game while the crowd packs both sides of the street. Off the field, the six LSU Lakes are made for a run, a paddle, or doing nothing on the bank, and the North Gates strip just off campus has been the spot for Cajun and Creole food and going out for decades. Tiger Trail shuttles link the apartment-heavy blocks south of campus, so the car can stay parked.
Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
LSU requires all first-year, full-time students to live on campus for their entire first year, fall through spring, with spring-start freshmen owing only the spring semester. Skipping the rule without an approved exemption gets charged the cost of the lowest two-student room each semester you are in violation, so it pays to follow it.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Exemptions exist for students who will be 21 or older by the first day of fall classes, military veterans, students with a spouse or dependent children, those living with a parent locally, and documented medical or disability needs. Most Tigers move off campus for year two, since on-campus apartment space for upperclassmen in Baton Rouge is genuinely limited.
Lease Timing
Nearly every student complex in Baton Rouge uses individual by-the-bed leases, meaning you sign for your room only and are not liable if a roommate skips out. Read whether utilities are capped, confirm which Tiger Trail route serves the place, and check parking, because some complexes charge separately for it.
