Since LSU is not located
in Texas, it is more
expensive for Texans to
attend. This is called
“Out-of-State tuition.”
But…with good grades
and high test score, LSU
will waive your out of
state fees!
Baton Rouge is the
capitol of Louisiana.
Located 254 miles from

Because of
the French/Cajun character of
South Louisiana, LSU support can
be seen by its spelling of "Go
Tigers" as "Geaux Tigers“
Many Cajun names and words use
the ending French spelling "eaux"
for the long "o" vowel sound.
