Aren't you a little bit late? LSU graduation was middle of May I'm pretty sure.
If you are going to be at LSU hit up this place for bomb seafood,they have seafood gumbo too:

What sorta stuff do you want to get into in New Orleans? If it's your first time in the city, I would stick to the Quarter and Frenchmen street unless you have someone to take you around. Besides being dangerous, the city is confusing as fuck and you will get lost.
BUT, if you want to go see some shit in new orleans, go here:
http://www.backstreetmuseum.org/
This is some underground non-touristy shit. You have to go and chop it up with the dudes that are gonna be hanging around the place, and break them off some bread, they will tell you stories that will blow your mind. Plus the neighborhood is cool. If you are in to history or architecture, man, new orleans neighborhoods will give you plenty to soak up.
edit: scratch that, dont just stick to the quarter unless you are only there for part of a day, head out on the street car lines and get off where looks interesting. They wont take you anywhere _too_ grimy and as long as you can get back on the street car you're cool. No matter where you go, you'll find some neighborhood bars that'll be worthwhile.
