 The amount of incoming freshmen at Louisiana State University who signed up to live on campus was a bit more than Residential Life Director Peter Trenakos may have anticipated. So now the school is giving a new option to those first-year students who live within 30 minutes of the Baton Rouge campus. Live at home. The school is actually offering a $3,000 incentive to those who choose this option. Trenakos says once a certain amount of applicants take the live at home option, it and the offer of the three grand will close. John Saucier, Fox News.
