It has academics like an ivy, the partying of a state school, an eastern feel, a southern locale, an urban city, and a suburban campus. Tulane and the city of New Orleans are places that I miss the second I leave them--they are my home. Coosing Tulane will always be regarded as the best decision I have ever made for myself.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Stay open--Tulane has something to teach everyone. Some learn to buckle down while others must learn to loosen up.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There are a few classes where you might get an easy A, but getting an A in a hard class can feel like the biggest accomplishment of your life.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms can leave something to be desired--but in their defense, they've seen their share of disaster.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This is hard, because on campus food is okay, while off campus food is unreal. I'd average 3 and 5 stars for 4.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Wow. It's wonderful. We have a pretty good bar scene, the Boot can be easy/cheap fun especially for the younger undergrads. Greek life is great, but the parties are for everyone. If you're not into drinking, we have brilliant restaurants, zoos, aquariums, museums, art, shops, and parks. You'll have so much to do that you'll never get to do it all before you throw your cap.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A major issue--it's very expensive. However, 85% of students are on some form of aid, and Tulane is very generous.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Prytania Theater is a great place to go if you want to watch a classic (or Rocky Horror). If you get sick of the dining hall, you can try Loyola's dining hall for free for a bit of variety.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Everyone, but you definitely notice the white east coast girls the most.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many clubs and it's easy to start new ones. And the campus arranges a lot of fun events that generally have a great turnout, like Fridays at the Quad.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Fun! Even if you're not a part, you'll end up at a bunch of their parties.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The boys are a little too eager on campus with the amount of girls we have, and can get sort of entitled. That said, the biggest worry on campus are the students, not other criminals. This is the same way with most colleges.
