Baton Rouge Airport (BTR) to LSU

• Rental Cars:  Hertz, Avis, National (on-site)  or Thrifty (very close off-site).
• Drive away from the airport terminal (this is West).
• At Stop Sign ("Welcome to Baton Rouge" sign) Turn Left (South) on Veterans Memorial Blvd. 
• Take right at first stoplight to enter  Interstate I-110 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Interstate).
• Follow I-110 South.  This takes you past Exxon refinery.  After a sweeping righthand turn, you will be aimed at the state capitol (tall "skyscraper").  Another sweeping lefthand turn will restore your southerly course. 
• BE CAREFUL NOW!!! DO NOT EXIT on I-10 West.  If you accidentally do, you will have no choice but to cross the Mississippi River and turn around on the other side, which is really confusing. 
• Instead, you should follow the signs that say NEW ORLEANS. 
• Exit Dalrymple Drive.  Turn right at bottom of the off-ramp.  After you drive past the lakes and go past a stop light, the road curves around to the right and things will begin to look like you're on a campus.  LSU is in the circle of the 3rd map below. 
• The LSU information center is located at Highland & Dalrymple.  This is approximately where the * is in the 3rd map below.  There you can get a real map.  Or try the LSU Map Page.
