The professors actually care about their students and always give their office hours in their syllabus so you can come visit them whenever you have a question. When you visit them, they're very accommodating and try to help you understand. They make their lectures really interesting and relate the subject matter to the real world so you understand why this information is important. Also, students usually form study groups before tests, which are really helpful. You can most likely find someone studying the same subject you're studying in the study lounges or library.
The majority of the student body is from somewhere other than Louisiana, which is incredible because it gives you a chance to interact with peers that come from all over the country. I love our geographic diversity because it allows me to have friends from Utah and Boston whom I otherwise never would have the opportunity to meet. People from elsewhere have different opinions and viewpoints on subjects and learning from your peers is a great experience.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being at Tulane. The students always want to meet new people so it's really easy to make good friends. If you ever need any help, you're likely to get it just by asking a student walking to class. There are so many ways to get involved on campus. There is an activities fair once a semester where you can sign up to get emails from the clubs. These clubs advertise their events by 'chalking' the sidewalk in eye-catching colors. They also do tabling by the student union and sometimes give away free food. New Orleans itself is a place of its own original category. There are festivals probably once a month and a few of the big ones are VooDoo Fest, JazzFest, and Mardi Gras. It's really fun to ride the streetcar down to the French Quarter with your friends on weekends. You can shop the French Market and visit Cafe Du Monde for beignets. Our campus is beautiful. We have sculptures all over the Academic Quad and there's always a project going on to help beautify and make our campus more eco-friendly.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tulane is a bit pricey, but they give out scholarships. We have some really nice facilities, like the library, gym (Reilly), and student union (LBC).
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Go to the activities fair because it's an easy way to get involved in one of our many clubs. If you're having trouble in a class, go see that professor during his/her office hours. The ERC is a student resource center where you can get free tutoring, so be sure and visit when you need help.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If your philosophy is 'work hard, play hard,' this is the school for you. The work is hard, but there's so many opportunities to experience new things and have fun that it's worth it. There's always something going on, which is good. However, you have to know how to focus on your studies when you've got a test because there's always someone who will be going out that night.
