<p>How is the area immediately surrounding the LSU campus? I have heard mixed reviews here. Safe? Is the campus itself generally a safe environment?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The campus is generally safe, but like all college campuses, it is dangerous to walk alone at night. LSU is so open anybody could just drive through at night. LSU has however it’s own night transportation and PD.</p>

<p>The campus past north gates is sketchyyyy</p>

<p>Off campus*</p>

<p>Can you elaborate on what you mean by “sketchy”? Is it dangerous or just run down? Does it ever spill on to campus?</p>

<p>it’s just sketchy. i wouldn’t go over there at night. it’s fairly run down as well, but that’s mostly irrelevant. </p>

<p>campus police’s website can prob give you some info. google it.</p>

<p>LSU PD publishes yearly crime statistics for both on and off campus. It might be worth looking into to see how much or how little “off-campus” includes.

<p>Baton Rouge also has a crime map where you can zoom into neighborhoods and see crime data:

<p>thisdude: Do you mean the area around Louie’s?
I went to Louie’s around midnight recently and didn’t notice anything “sketchy”…it seemed pretty safe to me.</p>

<p>The LSU campus itself is very safe. However, there are your drunk bastards like at every college who will cause drama every once in a while, but not to often. THE AREA directly out of campus depending on which road you turn on is not safe at all. You can make a right and see a 2.5 million dollar house on the lake and then a left and 100 feet later you’ll hit a stop sign and get car jacked. It’s very obvious where you shouldn’t go though…</p>

<p>HINTS: Graffitti…large black fellows with guns…abandoned housess…large latin fellows with guns…</p>
