A two-student room with a hall bath in an older LSU hall costs $4,025 a semester in 2026–27, and Apartment List puts Baton Rouge’s median one-bedroom rent at $945 a month in October 2026. This guide sets out the verified figures and what I could not confirm.
Details come from LSU Residential Life and Apartment List, checked on 23 October 2026. LSU’s rates are per student, per semester, and exclude meal plans. Apartment List medians are for whole apartments, not single rooms.
