鈥淭he classrooms and facilities are phenomenal.鈥 Class attendance policies are 鈥渞elatively stringent.鈥 It鈥檚 a good thing, then, that the academic atmosphere is generally 鈥渆xcellent.鈥 鈥淭he great thing about LSU Law professors is that many of them have been incredibly influential in the development of Louisiana law,鈥 observes a 1L. 鈥淚n preparing cases for classes, you can鈥檛 help but notice how often the courts have relied on your professor鈥檚 doctrinal works in formulating their decisions.鈥 鈥淲hile some are intent on using the Socratic Method at all costs, most use it simply to ensure that you are paying attention and can answer their questions when called upon,鈥 relates a 3L. Not all faculty members are fabulous, though. 鈥淟SU has some of the best,鈥 advises a 2L, 鈥渂ut a couple have to be the worst.鈥 Outside of class, most faculty members are 鈥渕ore than willing to talk to students.鈥 鈥淭hey are all accessible if you try a little bit.鈥 A few students tell us that the administration 鈥渆mphasizes bureaucracy,鈥 but the overwhelming sentiment here is that top brass 鈥渢ruly works for the students鈥 and is 鈥渞emarkably responsive to the student body.鈥

A study abroad program in Lyon, France, is also popular. Over 150 employers recruit here each year, but opinion regarding LSU Law鈥檚 ability to help students find jobs is split. Critics tell us that the Career Services office displays 鈥渃allous indifference toward students who are not in the top five to ten percent of the class.鈥 Other students say that Career Services is 鈥渋n touch with you from the beginning鈥 and 鈥済oes the extra mile to help students and find opportunity for them.鈥 鈥淭his school does everything it possibly can to ensure that you pass the bar and get a job,鈥 beams a confident 1L.
