Room and Board at LSU

Hey guys! I've been looking into applying to Louisiana State University, and I'm interested in learning more about the room and board situation there. What are the dorm options and the cost of living on campus? Are meal plans included in the room and board fees? Any information will be appreciated!

Hi there! It's great that you're interested in Louisiana State University! I can definitely help explain the room and board situation at LSU.

LSU offers several different types of residence halls for students to choose from, including traditional halls, apartment-style halls, and suite-style halls. Some traditional halls are East and West Halls, while popular apartment-style and suite-style halls are West Campus Apartments and Cypress Hall. Each dorm option varies in terms of cost, amenities, and room configurations.

The cost of living on campus will depend on which dorm option you choose. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the range of prices for on-campus housing is from approximately $2,900 to $5,100 per semester.

As for meal plans, they are not automatically included in the room and board fees but are required for students living in on-campus housing, except for those in the West Campus Apartments. There are several meal plan options to choose from, and they cater to different preferences and budgets. The meal plan prices for the 2024-2025 academic year range from around $1,730 to $2,250 per semester. You can find more information on meal plans on LSU's dining services website.

Remember that these costs are subject to change, so it's a good idea to check LSU's housing website for the most up-to-date information on pricing and available options.

I hope this helps you get a better understanding of LSU's room and board situation! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with your application process!
