This post is confusing LSU New Orleans with LSU Shreveport and has parts of each included in the review...New Orleans was scattered after the storm and the residents still split time between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, along with a third year rotation with Dr. Drez in Lake Charles. Shreveport residents, as far as I know, stay in Shreveport or northern Louisiana.
