    Got to feel connected.
    A consistent “Louisiana” and “UL” message would help, but that goes off the rails at freshman orientation and The Vermilion.

    For a school that struggles to get a few hundred students to go to a free game, it’s nonsensical to think our enrollment is affected in any meaningful way by how the football team is playing.

    Whether before during or after, no one forgets how you make them feel.

    The formula to success is making them feel good every step of the way.

    Enrollment has to do with awareness.

    Staying put has to do with comfort level.

    The first step to failure is to say parts of the equation don't matter.

    While that has been true in the past, it certainly could be in the future. No one out there “always wanted to go to LSU” for academics. Lots of people “always wanted to go to LSU” because of what happens in Tiger Stadium.

    For sure it can change moving forward. But to squint and try to say enrollment oscillating in a narrow band for 40 years is tied to our football team is just silly.

    Poor Baldwin, he just happened to be there when UL lost 9% of its student body.

    That’s part of the scholarship package for better students. Don’t know what better means. And it’s not open to all as you suggested. Would make us more competitive.

    Seems like it should have started showing up in the overall numbers by now.
    Lost a lot of kids during Covid. On line was not kind to many students.

    Do the others open it to all, or is it always part of a scholarship package?

    Retention is an issue that is having a significant impact on our continuing enrollment numbers. Our six-year graduation rate is hovering around 50%. In addition, the most recent data reflects 76% of first-time freshmen make it to their second fall semester and 60% make it to their third fall semester.
    Is admissions selecting the wrong people??? Or is our school as an R1 harder than the kids expected

    He knows of what he speaks. Not everyone gets to do what they want

    We would instantly become a more viable option for Houston and Dallas area students. Tuition cost at universities in Texas are quite high. Waiving out of state tuition would be a huge boost to student attendance.
