A brief description of the themed housing:

Students in the Agricultural Residential College (ARC) housed in Blake Hall are divided into 3 academic tracks: Animals, Environment/Sustainability, and Food, Fitness and Fashion. Each track is coordinated by at least one faculty member who develops and implement track specific programs and assignments throughout the academic year. In addition, all ARC students participate in at least one challenge: Fitness via America on the Move, Going Green, footprints scored via moodle, or Project TAM, designing a product from recycled tote bags.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

It depends how ‘apply’ is defined. Students apply to live on campus at LSU and then on that application select the Ag Res College (ARC). They’re accepted into ARC if they’re an Ag major and we have space for them. It’s currently not a competitive process.
