LSU: LSU: paradox universityI'm from York, Pennsylvania. I chose LSU because it was cheap; I got a very substantial scholarship, making tuition much cheaper than Penn St. or any of the private schools I was considering.The biggest piece of advice I could offer is to know that LSU has some great qualities, yet is terribly, terribly lacking in some very fundamental ways. I wouldn't recommend going there unless you have a place to stay off campus: I'll explain why in "Social Life/Campus Life"
