2015 Enrollment

I belive UL giving the property to the city for a central park is why the city embraces the university so much.. look at monroe the city could give a rats ___ about that school

The deal took place a little over two years ago. What are the biggest changes you see in how the city embraces UL?

---I am hoping that the money from the Horse farm sale might soon be used to help buy the OLOL property-----I would hope that the city could help UL get that land---UL is such a huge factor in making Lafayette what it is and it would be great if they could help this expansion out for maybe a med school!!!

How would the city help UL get the land?

Recent growth in enrollment is timed with Hud's arrival. That front porch concept is 100% true. Time for T-Joe-L to hold true to his commitment to athletics and fund the full 3%.

Oil Center. I don't think there is anything in the Oil Center that couldn't be somewhere else. Imagine Girard Park being more central to campus, and having all health sciences programs adjacent to LGMC.

Park Place is up for sale...they moved to around the new Lourdes.

More light needs to shine on that correlation. There still does not seem to be a wide-spread understanding of the concept, despite the evidence at Louisville and other places.

---The Hyman Arts center is going to be part of the hospital---don't know how or if it will be taken down-----I sure miss Dr Fun as he once talked about the UL section of town!!!

I don't think the University gave the city anything, I think the University was paid $5,000,000.00 plus the land behind RED ZONE, I forget the name of the park, behind the Fire Station on University.

All due respect to athletics but having worked with recruiting on academic side (New Orleans area) for many years, the new dorms have had a major impact on numbers and quality esp. from NO area, Alexandris, Shreveport and out of state. Back in the old days, NO was our second largest area of recruitment. It had dropped badly in the bad dorm days to a point where Houston was nearing the their numbers here. They're back (Yes, Boomer, lots of Blue Jays too). Athletics makes it more fun; with the new dorms, now the U and we're in a good position for growth. To a point we need to look at more dorm space. Now, we need a good infusion into some of our academic programs (LIKE a NEW Engineering building and labs) and we really grow.

OLOL property has got to be done. Will make an amazing difference in growth and opportunity for expansion. Love how it fits into master plan.

At our present rate of growth (and theirs), how long until we surpass LSUA&M in enrollment and become the biggest school in the state?
