I am so excited to possibly become a tiger next year but I’m worried I might have to choose between Texas A&M and LSU when my admission decisions come in.
Tamu pros- tuition will cost less since I am in state, Mom is only an hour away, a lot of people from my highschool will be there, it ranks higher than Lsu
Cons- College station looks pretty boring, my anticipated major isn’t really accredited, their dance team is boring and only dances at basketball games
Lsu pros- Family in Louisiana + mom is 4 hours away, Baton Rouge has a lot to offer, I would love to be a golden girl, great scholarships for Texans, my aunt is alumni
Cons- Many people say they don’t take education seriously
I just really need help deciding which school is the best place for me
Don’t go to LSU!!! Read the Baton Rouge paper, The Advocate. Louisiana has a severe budget crises and the higher education is suffering in a huge way. Google LSU Library and see what it looks like–leaks in the roof, moldy carpet. Also, professors are leaving, b/c the school is losing tons of funding. I hate to say this about my own state school, but it will be a long time before LSU can come back. I hope I don’t get slammed by LSU (by the way, almost everyone I know attended LSU!), but it is in serious trouble.
I would pick TAMU
