> LSU housing at over capacity; students temporarily staying at Ion say they faced roaches, rodents
I can’t wait to see how the Lafayette media covers this. Surely it will be as much slobbering as they did over our situation, right?

Those kids should be honored to attend the majestic halls of the mothership. Rodents and roaches are just part of the price of glory.

This is just good training for the times they have to brave the elements at their Library.

No, of course not. In no way is Landry going to allow any more Bonding out new projects. UL is sitting over $300M in debt and LSU is higher. This is why they are trying to pass a parish motel tax to pay for a new BB arena. But you know the person that can probably get you those debt numbers for UL and the system.🙂

Also got to give a shoutout to Dr. Khattab he started a construction management degree and got the local construction companies to pay for it.

My god daughter attends ETSU in Johnson City as a junior. Housing situation was atrocious over the summer. She was removed from the housing plan on campus and my cousin had to rent an apartment for her up the road.

So funny to read this.. I did an individual studies class with just me and Dr. Khattab my senior year to try and get that dinosaur 3d printer they bought to work.
It always felt like the other professors kicked that guy around because he was new, and now he’s out running sh\*t.

He has a great vision. Too bad we are 6-8 years behind other state universities. Typical right.
