Is LSU (Baton Rouge) a good school of chemical engineering?
What do you think of Louisiana State Unviersity for chemical engineering graduate program? Any tips on companies coming to campus, professors, school setting would be appreciated? I would like to work in R&D for energy companies after this. Would you prefer University of Houston or University of Oklahoma over it? If yes, why? Well, I am just asking for opinions (possibly from some alumni. I know the final decision is mine.

Everyone has their opinion on whether a school is good or not. You have to be the ultimate judge of what is suitable for you.

LSU is widely known as a party school, and the graduates from that school oftentimes don't seem to have the academic background that others in the petroleum industry have. There are exceptions, but overall it's a known stereotype. And that can harm a person's chances of employment. OU would probably be my top choice of the three, only because I'm familiar with their academic reputation and the excellent engineering department. I don't know much about UofH so can't comment. But what about the engineering school at Texas A&M? It's world class and Aggies are known for hiring other Aggies. The networking is amazing, and it's close to Houston where the oil companies are. However, there are tons of Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys employed in the oil industry as well. Doubt this helps, but maybe a little.
