The Residential Experience

Residence Hall Life

LSMSA's Living Learning Commons (the LLC) opened in 2021 and was intentionally designed to meet the needs of our students.

Male students live in B-Tower, and female students live in A- and C-Towers. Each residential community includes its own laundry room, study room, and common area. Common rooms feature a smart TV, wireless printer, single-serve coffee maker, and microwaves for student use. 
 
On the first floor, you’ll find the Health Services office, a full kitchen for student use, a game room, a craft room, study rooms, and two lounges. 
 
Building entry and housing wings are secured by card access, and the first-floor front desk is staffed 24/7 whenever students are on campus. 
 
    • Empty Dorm Room Suite

Student Suites

Students live in suites with two student rooms and a shared bathroom. Two students share each room, and four students share the bathroom space. 

Students can request a specific roommate and suitemates or can be paired using our roommate questionnaire, which is completed after New Student Orientation. 

Room Furnishings
 
  • Loft bed 
  • Small dresser

A limited number of non-lofted beds are available for students who are unable to use a lofted bed.

Personalizing Your Space 

Students are encouraged to bring a few items to personalize their rooms and make the space feel more like home. 
  • Mini-fridge 
  • Small area rug 
  • Beanbag chair or small saucer chair

A more complete list of things to bring is provided at New Student Orientation, and the LSMSA Student Handbook includes detailed information about items that are and are not allowed in the residence hall.

Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts

Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA) is the preeminent state-supported residential high school with competitive admissions for Louisiana's high-achieving, highly-motivated sophomores, juniors, and seniors. As a public school, there is no tuition to attend, and assistance from the LSMSA Foundation ensures the program is available to all qualifying students regardless of family financial need.
