re: What are enrollment figures looking like this year?

I feel like LSU (Baton Rouge) has almost always been around 30,000, give or take 1000. Someone told me that LSU had 35k in the 90s. It probably worked given our atrocious graduation rates back in the day. I think our graduation rates were around 35% in the early 90s, and we are now up to about 71%. LSU is about to hire more OOS recruiters and get enrollment to around 35k, but I am nervous our parking situation is entirely too shitty for that.


I do know LSU's average ACT score for incoming classes the past couple of years has been around a 27. Sure, we are getting brighter students, no question. However, ACT prep classes are basically electives for some schools now, so the aptitude level is probably inflated


Fun fact: LSU's three largest freshmen classes were 2003, 2007, and 2011. People are delusional if they don't think good football influences a lot of kids' decisions (to a certain degree).
