WHY I WANT TO ATTEND THIS COLLEGE I really want to go to LSU because I feel

like it’s a better choice when deciding what college to go to. I also want to go to an in state school so I can be closer to my family. I easily get home sick. LSU also offers a lot of activities that I like. The sports teams there are also very good. The education system there is also good, plus in-state tuition is cheap.
