In my first year at Tulane, I learned so much; not only in the classroom, but outside of it as well. At a school where almost 70% of the students are from outside of Louisiana, I had no problem meeting many diverse people, (culturally and geographically)! The friends I have made are from all over, including Boston, Hartford, Dallas, and even Sao Paolo, Brazil. At a school with a very high Jewish population, I was exposed to a religion that, living in Minnesota, I had very little exposure to. Meeting and getting to know people from all over the country and world has opened my eyes in so many ways. Whether it's learning new slang, to learning a little about different religions and cultures, you will learn a lot about yourself and others at Tulane.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Tulane students are mostly easy-going, fun smart people. We take our school-work very seriously here, yet also find time to join clubs, play intramurals and just have fun partying. I would say we here at Tulane live by the motto Work hard, play harder.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's no secret that Tulane is expensive. However, Tulane has a very large endowment that they use to offer students scholarships to make it more affordable.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! There are so many clubs and organizations at Tulane to literally have something for everyone. I joined the club Ice Hockey team, played intramural sports, reffed intramural sports as a part-time job, and joined a fraternity. Tulane has everything from political clubs, to sports clubs, to environmental clubs, to acting and drama. Don't hesitate to go to the activities and clubs fair and sign up for some things you're interested in. Also, check out the Greek system. Keep an open mind, and go through the rush process. You don't have to join if you decide it's not for you, but going through rush is the best way to decide if you would like to join a Greek organization or not. Just keep your mind open to meeting new people, trying new things and getting involved in things that interest you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who want to give back to the New Orleans community. Living in New Orleans provides you with so many volunteer and rebuilding opportunities, most of which can be found through organizations on campus! People who want to have the full college experience, meet new people, have fun while at school, work hard, and get a great college education from one of the nation's top universities. Most students here are from over 500 miles away, so if you like to meet new people, come to Tulane.
