Which University is harder academically: LSU or Louisiana Tech

Well they are both better than SU and have better parties so there is that.

Personally, I have noticed this myself. I made that clause in my first comment so that someone would mention it. I spoke with a PhD engineer once about schools and he personally proclaimed that Tulane is generally considered the best Engineering school in LA at least in his circles.

First off, apparently you don't know much about Tech's "party scene" because if you did, you know it is practically non existent. When Frats do muster up the means to have good parties, they still have be careful. The events are generally much more tame than what would happen at LSU, and that is heavily enforced.

Secondly, I have seen more posters for events and sponsored parties at SU in one f**king year than I have ever seen at tech during my entire undergrad.

Harder? If you don't study, both will be hard.

Both universities are challenging. Both produce quality graduates. Neither one is Yale but both offer great academic opportunities on a regional and national scale.

I am assuming you are a "proud" Tech Graduate.

I have a Physics degree from Tech, so I know just how hard Tech really is. Honestly, outside of LSU and Tulane, I dont think any other school compares in terms of difficulty.

I am very glad you stated this, especially the first part. I know alot of succesful people who graduated from Tech, but I also know EQUALLY successful people who went to other places.

Difficulty does not necessarily produce better graduates is all I am saying. Challenging to improve someone and challenging for pure rigor are two different beasts. Depending on your program, this becomes apparent.

I would have loved to go to LSU when I was going to college but tech was closer to home and tech's tuition was lower

I am losing the point you are trying to make. LSU and Tech, plus various other state institutions, offer quality opportunities for students.

I have my post graduate work at another university - LaTech had me well prepared.

I think it is all about the drive of the individual once they get a degree....how are you going to capitalize on the time spent in college?

There are some really bright people in this state that have degrees from various institutions:

The sharpest tax law counselor has an undergrad from UL - M.

The best tax credit CPA in the state holds two La Tech degrees.

The best compliance / fraud officer for banking in the state has a LSU undergrad and grad degree.

The best audit CPA that practices in this state holds an undergrad degree from aTm.

One of the best CRE attorneys has a law degree from university of Texas.

None compare to ULL's Engineering or pretty much any academic program (if you ask the right people.)

This is a rather impressive troll.

I give it a 7.3
