A peaceful morning walk took me along a lake just outside Baton Rouge. The sun was still low, the water was still, and birds set the rhythm. But around the lake, striking student housing units are popping up – sleek in design, spacious in size, and clearly built with more than just a student budget.

This is a great place to study if you have enough money.

This is a big, important park with lots to do for everyone. One of its main features is a large lake. The park also has a 9-hole golf course that's quite old, built in 1926, and is known for its pretty scenery and rolling hills.
