<p>With Tulane being basically right next to/almost in New Orleans, how is campus life? Is it very active? Do many things go on during the day / night on campus? Or does the city really take precedence and hold basically all activities?</p>
<p>Since Tulane is in New Orleans, I will assume that you were referring to Bourbon Street. The campus is very active, with activities going on constantly. Most people I know tend to stay on or around campus most of the time, only venturing downtown for a special occassion, dinner, parade, etc.</p>
<p>I’m referring to the city in general. For instance, socially, do a lot of people go to bars all over the city or in one general area? And also do they stay on campus for the weekends to?
This is a lot of questions in one but like during the week, is the campus active with like clubs holding things etc.?</p>
<p>gabby is right, tulane is ACTUALLY IN new orleans. </p>
<p>the tulane campus is located in a neighborhood of new orleans called uptown, right across from a great park (audobon park, which also has the audubon zoo) and walking/biking distance to a lot of great bars, restaurants, and places to see concerts. i’m not quite sure what you’re asking, but no one “leaves campus” (by this i assume you meant that they go home or to another city, which i know is common at some schools) on the weekends because they are ALREADY in the city. you are already where you want to be. during the week the university does host a lot of its own events, basketball games, concerts, speakers, etc and is a very active campus, much like any traditional university. but a tulane student’s life is also enhanced by new orleans, and much of your socializing will also take place off campus. i cannot think about my tulane experience without thinking about new orleans.</p>
<p>to try to get at your question, there are a ton of activities to participate in on campus, as well as off campus in the surrounding neighborhood, and in the rest of the city. you basically get the best of both worlds…a traditional university campus as well as the experience of the city.</p>
<p>oh, and i forgot to answer your other question…most tulane students spend their time at the bars in the uptown area near campus…namely maple street and oak street, and as you get used to the city, magazine street (which is a little further away). the more time you spend at tulane though, the more you branch out and explore other bars and areas of the city, but the uptown area is always the home base, so to speak. unlike the new orleans stereotype, most students do not head downtown to bourbon street/french quarter unless its a special occasion or every once in awhile when they are tired of the uptown bars.</p>
<p>gdubbs…i do not know how much you know about Tulane, but I got the impression that you might think Tulane is a suitcase school where many students go home on the weekends…only 14% of the students are from LA and only 33% from the entire south (including LA) from the Atlantic ocean (Carolina’s, Georgia, Florida) through Texas. 34% from the Northeast and 33% from mid west, west and international. therefore, very few even have the option of going home.</p>
<p>And just to be a bit more specific, there are a ton of clubs. Everything from ballroom dancing to juggling to sports to video games to…well pretty much anything you want. <a href=“http://tulane.edu/studentlife/clubs-and-organizations.cfm[/url]”>http://tulane.edu/studentlife/clubs-and-organizations.cfm</a> I know there are some that are not on these lists, so it probably doesn’t include the clubs that were formed this year. Most of them meet during the week.</p>
<p>Also, just to add further emphasis to the above comments, Tulane is the opposite of a suitcase school. They state that Tulane has more students from 500+ miles away from home than any other school.</p>
<p>Just from the nature of your question, I don’t think you will be disappointed in the atmosphere at Tulane.</p>
