Science Residential College

First-year students majoring in the College of Science or the College of Coastal and Environmental Sciences can live in Evangeline or Highland Hall in the Horseshoe and take classes with the same group of peers, creating a smaller network within the larger LSU campus from day one. 

In this living-learning environment, the hands-on experiences and real-world introductions you are exposed to are unmatched. From tours of health care facilities and workshops with professionals to a pollinator garden right outside the building, SRC students have the opportunity to explore their interests in unique ways!
