wait, isnt BR a few spots behind NOLA in murder rate, top 3 in worst teeth, and top 10 dangerous cities in the US? Why would it even be considered one of the best towns. I mean Im not very familiar with LA, but I gotta assume there are a lot nice smaller towns in the state.



It's got the same problems as New Orleans without the benefits ie. incredible nightlife, world class dining, pro sports, legit downtown, french quarter, history, etc.

Then you have Lafayette which is the biggest city in the cajun area of Louisiana and beats BR in literally every category. It would be a perfect SEC town, but alas.

Shreveport>BR as well.

You guys are missing the point of the thread. Oxford isn't much bigger than Ole Miss. Baton Rouge is far bigger than LSU.

The area around the LSU campus is one of, if not the nicest areas around any SEC college campus.



The median property value of housing near the LSU campus is $500K +. There is a lot of great food and entertainment within walking distance of the campus. Heck, it lies along side the biggest friggen river on the whole continent.
