That was my complaint is the new buildings didn't match with the older buildings.

The campus is nice but by acreage is one of the smallest in the SEC. They tried for years to buy up more land such as Fayetteville high school but it never came to pass.

So much for a good conversation.
Not taken personal at all for I know better. I can read, comprehend and see your shiny hook and subtle jab.

Unlike you I know what I am talking about as I go to each campus every other year including T-town and not here to cut any campus down as they all have strengths and weaknesses.

"had to go to Lee County in West Georgia just last month to attend a wedding (I was volunteered), but I admittedly didn't go on campus."

Absolutely brilliant!

LSU at 3? Is this a joke? I was on the LSU campus about two weeks ago. It's old, dingy and dirty and it has bad landscaping. It has the lakes but garbage and old tires pollutes them.

LSU's a gross and unkempt campus. The only thing it has going for it are the live oaks.

Both of these are nicer than LSU's. The LSU buildings look like they need some pressure washing, there are cracks in the external walls, the Union is a dated dump, and the campus, because of the live oaks is dark. There are dumpsters visible all over that are at times filled, the regular garbage cans are crappy looking and many buildings have window frames that are rusting.



All of this is true.

LSU looks like a giant, rundown high school campus.

Berry College in Georgia has 27,000 acres.

The world's largest and considered by many to also be the most beautiful campus.

I haven’t been to Miss State in a decade so maybe it’s much better, most of my visits were in the 80s and they fully bought in that cold industrial bs. Ole Miss had some of this shite too but gradually modified it to fit it in.

Okay: I went to games at both this year and they had just as much “trash” as in BR. As for scenery you can’t get much better than Alex box home plate looking at the capitol and Tiger Stadium.

I love Ole Miss and Arkansas so beautiful and cozy and you can feel the atmosphere all across campus. Miss st. is just gaudy as is TAMU. LSU I’d put probably at 4 and I’m a graduate.

But don’t say the dumpsters take from the atmosphere… when have you been there during a non athletic weekend where the “dumps” aren’t full? Do you just hang out at random schools all week?

Also… Maybe you’re not used to dumpsters being full because y’all can’t have a decent game day tailgate and we make the 2nd largest city in LA on FB Saturdays… that’s why they are full. Sports partiers.

I like the campus of LSU quite a bit but the surrounding area does knock it back. Oxford is a pleasant enough place.

Sewanee hands down.

... agreed 100%. You could go hunting and fishing on Sewanee's campus and not run into one person. I read a few years ago that it had the best student to acreage ratio.
