Louisiana State University, or LSU, has a real-life tiger mascot on campus name Mike, which is reason enough to check out this school. The fact that it's located in Baton Rouge is another. The wild, rowdy, and fun college town is great for anyone ready to rage, southern style. Try some cajun food, listen to jazz music, and maybe take a roadtrip down to New Orleans once you're done, because this state really embraces all the spooky, costume-filled things that happen this time of year.
