Louisiana State University

About Me

Intro

I'm a ferocious party animal who's also, you know, a totally sensitive dude. I take classes during the week and kick back on the weekends; on Saturdays when campus floods with 200,000 tailgaters and Tiger fans, nothing makes me happier.

While setting up for weekend football partying can start as soon as Wednesday, I don't let that run my life. There's a time to go to "50 Cent Shot Mondays," and a time to visit my Creole grandma and bring her some fried gator. That combo pretty much sums me up—LSU, a hard-partying Southern school that always makes time for community responsibility and academia.

(Though admittedly I might be a bit bleary-eyed for those 8:00AM poly sci seminars.)

Name

Mike. I'm a tiger. No, really—I have a real live tiger named Mike on campus. He lives in the most expensive tiger habitat in the United States. NBD.

Hometown

Have you ever seen "Swamp People," the popular television show about alligator hunters? I live about thirty minutes away from their home base of Red Stick, Louisiana. English translation: Baton Rouge.

Birthdate

1860—what a year.

Body Type

I'm a big but very good-looking campus. With about 23,000 undergrads and 6,000 grad students, I'm a healthy mix of maturity and fun.

I'm 2,000 acres in total, but I don't permit cars at the heart of campus during school hours to preserve a walking-only environment.

The quad is where most of my classes are held. It's a beautiful area filled with large oak trees and magnolia flowers that bloom in the springtime. My natural side is so good-looking, it's no wonder my landscape architecture program is number one in the nation.

Current Living Situation

If you're a freshman, you should live in Herget, or as most freshmen call it, "The Dirty Herg." Here, there are hundreds of dorms filled with the most fun, party-oriented people on campus. It's definitely the place to be. Not to mention its location is on one of the prettiest campus lakes.

Freshmen sorority girls get stuck in the ladies-only Miller Mansion. I may be the life of the party, but that doesn't mean I've abandoned being a proper gentleman. Male visitors must be signed in and out.

I like having all of my freshmen on campus to keep that close-knit, family feel. Once they're older, students can live in apartment complexes scattered across the city…if they really want to.

Relationship Status

Wouldn't the world be a better place without the state of Alabama?

"Hate" is a strong word, but I very much dislike Alabama.

They stole our football coach and whoever wins our game usually goes on to win the SEC and compete for national titles. What a backstabber.

Then, there's also my newly adopted, pesky little brother, Texas A&M. He thinks he's cool enough to sit at my table. Think again, dude.

Religion

Although I'm not officially committed to any religion, I'd say that the majority of religious people here are Protestants.

Politics

A lot of my students are liberal-minded, but I'm a very red state. Nobody parties like the Grand Old Party.

You should apply to me if...

you're ready for over 20,000 brothers and sisters who will stay loyally by your side 'til the bitter end, even if that just means until the end of the night to hold your hair.
