We have discussed about Tulane being Party School (not really) and related to that is being preppy. How preppy is Tulane?
My opinion on this is: Contrary to popular belief aka political correctness, Tulane is not Exclusively for rich people school. I for one am the example of poor people with a kid graduated from Tulane dual degree with Vandy and immediately has been hired after graduation and been working in Aerospace Company in Cali (with high paying job as engineer). Anyhow, who wants to dress shabby, scruffy and stinky in college? also who wants to dress up with jewelry, riding BMW, Lexus, Baby Benz, Lambo to school?. Have you checked and looked at the parking lots in Tulane? do you see all name brand cars? if not then Tulane is not for rich kids. Also, If I were a rich parent, I certainly would pay my son’s school by my own money. However, Tulane has given lots of money to any students coming from all walks of life. Kindly, compare Tulane to other schools in term of giving school funds to kids. Well, Tulane is not school for rich kids.
Lastly, the question is do you want to go to college to get college degree and have better pay for entry level job or do you want to go to college to show-boat your jewelry, expensive car, etc? or perhaps you want to go to college with shabby, scruffy and stinky clothing to look cool?.
