<p>alam, read post #22 and you shall have your answer</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually I didn’t but the data you provide indicates there are virtually no part time students. After all, if there are almost 1200 full time freshmen, and a little over 3500 sophomores, juniors and seniors (about 3x the number of full time freshmen) then there are no part time students for practical purposes.</p>
<p>Not sure what nonsense you are talking about. Oh, it must be your leaving out the CR scores, giving incorrect data, and other errors. Yes you are right. That is nonsense.</p>
<p>but fallenchemist that is not what was being said at the beginning of the thread, was it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>fallenchemist then why did you make this statement without knowing the truth, especially since it was a blatantly false statement by you?</p>
<p>" Lehigh only counts full time students."</p>
<p>I didn’t quantify it at all at the beginning. I could have meant slightly, I really didn’t say, did I?</p>
<p>OK, they do count their 50 or so part timers. Sorry. That is such an insignificant number compared to Tulane’s 2,000 or so, it didn’t seem worth mentioning. I didn’t see the CDS, I just took the number of freshmen matriculated and saw that it was about 25% of the total. 50 is just rounding error.</p>
<p>Oooooook. So this got a little off topic. I hope mods don’t lock it… I believe fallen chemist you support tulane and john lehigh, so if you two could provide one last post each laying out your positive reasons for either that would be very helpful. Don’t worry about checking the reasons posted I’ll do that. I wish someone would jump in fighting for umiami lol. Thanks for any other posters opinions too</p>
<p>fallenchemist, so you are saying that tulane has 2,000 part-time undergraduate students?</p>
<p>about 15-20% of Tulane’s undergraduate students are part-time?</p>
<p>what does it say about the quality of education and academics of an institution when it has so many part-time students?
</p>
<p>USC take some time to read the thread.</p>
<p>My posts were intended to show that it is not clear that Tulane is much better than Rochester and Lehigh academically as was being stated in the beginning of the thread - no more no less.</p>
<p>Tulane has a completely separate night and weekend school called the School of Continuing Studies. And you cannot show the points you were claiming to try and make with inaccurate data. Also, I defy you to say where it was stated that the academics at Tulane were “much” better. Your ignorance is astounding, so out of respect to the OP I am done with you.</p>
<p>USCreject - I do apologize for the distractions, it is just hard to let such inaccuracies and misstatements stand. At this point there really is nothing to add as far as I can see. I gave you the reasons I thought Tulane might be a better choice for you. The only reason I would add anything is if you told me that you were thinking of finance as your area of focus. Tulane has some very exciting programs there, especially.</p>
<p>fallenchemist it is common knowledge that Math SAT’s are better indicators of successful business majors than Critial Reading SAT scores. That is why the Math SAT scores were compared.</p>
<p>but, again, you knew that, didn’t you?</p>

<p>Thanks fallenchemist, I am interested in finance so that’s god to hear. Tulane did take me by suprise. Because of it’s free limited app, I thought down on it until I visited. I still have my doubts sometimes but it’s seems to be held in a higher regard than I previously thought.</p>
<p>John, I did take time to read the thread thanks, but when it got done to argument over symantics I didn’t care for that. I looked at information that was relevant to me. I thank you for your passion in your posts, but instead of bashing anothers school statistics, presented accurately or not, feel free to make your argument for one school positively stronger. I recognize lehigh as a great acdemic institute and business program but I do worry about the area.</p>
<p>usc, when you say you worry about Lehigh’s area, you do realize that it is only about 50 miles from Philadelphia and 90 miles form NY City.</p>
<p>regarding its campus, it is easily the prettiest of the schools that you are looking at, with about 1,600 beautifully lanscaped acres compared to Tulane’s 110 acres.</p>
<p>From NACUBO – </p>
<p>$807,859,000 is Tulane’s endowment</p>

<p>KY, yes, thank you…we have concluded that that figure is the correct one…</p>
<p>OK then USCreject, take a look at these links that talk about some very interesting aspects of Tulane’s finance program in particular:</p>

<p>John,
The town of Bethlehem itself wasn’t incredibly inviting while I was there, but I do realize it my not be tht bad. “about 50 miles” is actually 70miles. I agree though that lehighs campus is very pretty and not clustered, while tulane does seem more compact. But there is the audobon (sp?) national park that goes down to the Mississippi river.</p>
<p>Edit:
Thanks for the links fallenchemist!</p>
<p>USC oh, ok, thanks…I guess Lehigh is fibbing a little when they say 50 miles to Philly:</p>

<p>USC - Audubon Park. Not a national park actually, but it is large and gorgeous and does go to the river, with the zoo on the way. Tulane’s campus is compact (isn’t that a rather good thing?) but as you can see from the pictures on the Tulane web site it is beautiful also, and various movies have been filmed there because it does have that “classic campus” feel. It is about 4 miles from the French Quarter and the way you get there is a streetcar ride by some of the most spectacular homes around. Very pleasant. But as you point out, the park is right across St. Charles from Tulane, like 30 steps. So it is essentially part of the campus. And of course you can enjoy it most of the year, with the more pleasant climate during 80-90% of the school year.</p>
<p>Lehigh is a great campus also, of course.</p>
