<p>LSU is in Baton Rouge, about an hour’s drive from New Orleans. It does seem to have a reputation as a party school, but I am not sure if that reputation is more or less deserved compared to other large state or SEC schools. LSU does have a good business school and students can elect general business as a major. </p>
<p>I’ve not seen any statistics on the religious affiliation of the student body, but the school’s culture is not predominantly Catholic in the same sense as Notre Dame, BC, etc.</p>
