Comparing Baton Rouge to Oxford is like comparing apples and oranges. You can’t compare small town life in Oxford to life in a much bigger city like Baton Rouge.

If you want to compare, Oxford has a smaller population, better public school system, much lower crime, lower population density, lower traffic, slower pace of life, etc.

Mississippi State is the home of THE pro-Hamas Mekong delta catfish. They love it in Starkville. They even did a study to prove it.

Taylor Grocery serves only Mississippi made all-American liberty patriot catfish.

Families in the state of Texas are not afraid that the town Oxford will harm or kill their well bred but dumbass daughters that couldn’t get in Texas A&M or Texas, as is a danger in BR.

Man, did Khrushchev have those built?


(Thanks a lot better if you ignore the Soviet tacklebox architecture of A&M’s buildings put up in the 70’s and 80’s.)

This wave of Soviet-style brutalist architecture is popping up all over Atlanta too. Still nicer than the section 8 complexes all over BR tho.

Oxford is

but it’s fine i guess for what it is

BR has very nice areas and very shitty areas and is a lot of fun to go to college there

for a normal person out of school it would be a tough place to be dropped in sight unseen, but the LSU head coach and his family is not a normal person here obviously.

Uh the violent crime rate in BR is roughly twice as high compared to Tuscaloosa.

I'm dating a Reb, but graduated from LSU so have gotten to experience both a good bit.

Oxford definitely has a way better bar scene and a cool small town charm or vibe to it, but I honestly liked LSU's campus better (more unique Italian Renaissance architecture and the live oaks everywhere vs. a more standard southern campus).

There's also a lot more to do in Baton Rouge, but on the flip side, its larger size also brings more issues as well. North BR is rough, but South BR (especially St. George) outside of a couple of bad pockets is actually pretty nice overall and has some really nice neighborhoods off of the campus lakes and down Highland. I never went to the bad parts of town and never experienced much of those elements associated with it. Oxford definitely feels "safer" and more like a college town, but I think I would've gotten bored after a couple years since I grew up in a larger city.

I haven't gotten the full culinary experience at Oxford yet, but BR is hard to beat in that department. Overall, each place has its different perks and both a really cool schools to attend college. The amount of talent you see walking around on game days at both is unreal.
