Louisiana State University Sophomore Dorms Ranked

Lived here 2018-2019 & 2019-2020 in Oxbow Hall, hands down best place to live on campus. Very pricey, but you pay for a nice location and good rooms. Anything broken or problematic can be resolved very quickly by Reslife. Definitely get a mattress topper if you live here. Living with a friend(s) makes it much better and we had parties all the time (if your RA isn't wack).

The only downside was that the first year I was here, about a dozen to 20 cars were broken into all in one night. Since it's on the North side of campus you may have some sketch incidents but I never felt unsafe there. 100% live here if you can. - 4 years ago

The rooms were big in my opinion. I liked having my own AC/heater unit. The two big windows were nice. There is also a ceiling fan. Anytime the door closed, you could hear it from your room. I lived on the bottom floor of a stack, so moving things into my room wasn’t too hard. I think it was definitely more difficult if you lived on the third floor of the stack (going up many stairs). I did like the unique set up of the overall dorm. The courtyard is really nice. The buildings are pretty old, so there are facility problems often. The bathroom is private, but you have to share it with at most 7 other people. You do have the option to go to the other bathrooms in your stack. It is definitely something to get used to. I really like the location in terms of the Quad, the dining hall, and Highland Road. It’s a long walk to the UREC however. There is a large parking lot that is shared with some other dorms and the apartments, but I liked having that option better than the East side of campus where parking lots were scattered and smaller. - 4 years ago
