Inside Scoop: LSU Res Life Cribs

It's that time again! The film crew at Res Life worked all semester finding the next batch of coolest rooms on campus. This semester they are all new rooms, new looks, and new faces. Here's a behind the scenes look at the making of LSU Res Life Cribs 2011!

Take a peak into life in the Engineering Residential College.

Their room sported an awesome view of Tiger Stadium-- how cool is that?

These guys made the coolest entrance yet on our cribs-- be sure to look for their video in the coming weeks!

We were able to get an inside look at the rooms and facilities in the newly renovated West Laville Honors House.

Our hosts wait to greet the camera for their big intro.

Filming an episode can be fun, scary, and slightly time consuming (sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to get everything right!)



Thumbs up on a job well done!



Kaila led our very first RA (Resident Assistant) Cribs and gave the inside scoop on life as an RA veteran.

RA's usually receive a two person room for themselves-- allowing for lots of creativity in decorating!

This semester we were also able to get a look into the on-campus apartments!

What a cute room! ECA (East Campus Apartments) have individual rooms with shared common spaces.

It was obvious our ECA girls were great friends-- hear their story in their Cribs episode!

This is just a small preview into our next batch of episodes. Need something to hold you over until they are released? Check out our Youtube Channel for previous episodes and videos! I'll let you know when the new cribs are up!

Welcome Back

Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a fantastic break! Despite the end of a relaxing break, I've gotta admit that I'm excited to be back.

Spring semester is always my favorite time at LSU. I love the nice weather, delicious crawfish, and stress-free weekends (I love football, but  LSU Football = High Stress Saturdays). And of course, this semester has special meaning to me, because it is my last one before graduation in May.

This spring, LSU and Res Life have many exciting events and traditions up their sleeve. If you find yourself bored, why not hit up some sports or fine arts? Whether it's baseball, orchestra, gymnastics, theatre or museums--there are tons of great events to support. Missing football? Don't miss the Spring Game for a preview of next season. This semester also promises more Late Night LSU fun, a once a month program sponsored by Students Activities Board. And, don't forget Groovin' on the Grounds, an annual outdoor concert on the Parade Ground.

Res Life will also be joining in on exciting traditions! Between the wide array of individual res hall activities, RHA Snowin in the South, UNPLUG Energy Competition, Housing Reapplication, the RHA Crawfish Boil, and Res Life Cribs, there will be plenty of events to enjoy this semester.

My blog will continue to include tips, spotlights, and an inside perspective on the on-campus experience. Have an idea for an event or topic you'd like covered? Feel free to email me at girlinthepurplepolo@gmail.com
