Do you think it is right for Louisiana legislators to vote to cut funding for LSU but attend LSU athletic events?

Do you feel safe on campus?
-
Sure. I’ve never had any reason to worry.
-
Sort of. It’s pretty safe during the day, but I tend to feel less secure at night.

Not at all. With all the campus shootings in recent years, I feel that we are always at risk.

I sometimes copy and paste a few words or sentences into my essays every now and then.

What do you think of the progress on the Union construction?
-
I think the renovations so far are awesome, and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
-
I think it is good that they are renovating it, but I wish that it could be completed before I graduate.
-
I think the renovations are a waste of money that could go to hiring better professors and offering more classes.
-
I think the construction is noisy and unsightly; it is a distraction from an otherwise beautiful campus.

Which major music festival is your favorite?
-
Voodoo Fest or Jazz Fest because both are close to home and offer a wide variety of musical acts.
-
ACL or Lollapalooza because they both are in great locations and always have great lineups.
-
Rothbury or Bonnaroo because both offer on-site camping, making the experience much more memorable.
-
I prefer other music festivals like Bumbershoot, Coachella, or All Points West.
-
I am not much of a music festival person. I rather listen to my iPod.

No. I think this whole environmental craze and concern about global warming will soon fade away.

Do you think that LSU is doing enough to support its black student population?
-
Yes. LSU is very supportive of its black population within the University and throughout the surrounding community.
-
Somewhat. LSU supports its black population in some aspects of University life but needs to focus more on racial and cultural issues throughout both the LSU and Baton Rouge community as a whole.
-
No. LSU does a poor job of supporting its black population – except for maybe when sports are concerned.

-
I might consider getting engaged, but I'll wait until graduation to tie the knot.
