When I was first looking at college choices, LSU was off of the list no question. After finding things at LSU like the Honors College to fall in love with, my heart softened a bit and I made my choice. LSU it was! I haven't regretted that choice one bit, and here are a few reasons why.

1. Azalea bushes in Spring.

Nothing is more scenic than walking to class on a crisp morning and passing endless rows of bushes dotted with bright pink flowers.

2. Saturday Nights in Tiger Stadium.

It sounds so cliche, but there are few things that I am missing more than LSU football right now.

3. Opportunity.

Being as big as it is, LSU has incredible opportunities no matter what you are interested in or where you want to go.

4. The UREC!

Honestly the UREC is hands down one of my favorite places to go to relieve some stress. They have top-notch classes and just recently opened up a brand-new state-of-the-art facility.

5. Our Oak trees.

It's not in the alma mater for nothing. The stately oaks truly take your breath away sometimes with just how beautiful they are.

6. Exploring campus.

There is always something new to see in free speech alley or a new activity going on.

7.Lectures.

Anything you want to learn outside of class is more than accessible through ample amounts of lectures offered by acclaimed professors.

8. Diversity.

Again, because LSU is such a large university, there are so many different types of people. No matter what you're into, you'll be able to find a group that helps make campus seem smaller.
