re: Does LSU not give a crap about smart, in-state high school students?

Out of state colleges that charge out of state tuition and know those students likely will live on campus at least one year are recruiting your son more than LSU who essentially get money from the state (TOPs) vs you. Seems to check out. These non profit state schools only care about profit.
If your son gets enough scholarships where he can get a full ride out of state, you should encourage it. Unless you live in Shreveport or you think your son isn’t mature enough to handle being away, the experience of being on your own and away is great for any kids going into college. Really builds self reliance and encourages kids to find ways to make it on their own.
ETA: I lived in Georgia when in HS. Not even fricking Georgia Southern sent me anything. But LSU, Bama, VT, and even Duke showed interest. Colleges don’t love in state kids, especially if you fit a certain demographic.

Why is Shreveport a factor here?

Mississippi State sent a thing that says a 34 is basically free OOS tuition and first year of housing. Kid wants to be an engineer, so definitely will check them out.

Why is Shreveport apart of the equation
