Visiting the Swap Shop

The Swap Shop is a free resource for international students at LSU. Thanks to generous donations from students and community members, new international students can visit  to get apartment essentials like kitchenware, bedding, and small home goods. 

The Swap Shop is located in the International Cultural Center at 3365 Dalrymple Dr. and is open M-F from 8am-4:30pm. 

At this time, the Swap Shop is open to new international students only. Current students may visit after the start of the Fall semester.
