<p>The link is erratic. I just clicked on the link in the other thread Colleges... and it works (it did not, earlier, while the link on this thread did.)</p>
<p>Add George Washington U to the list:

<p>That's George Mason University.</p>
<p>I've just spoken with my son's friend who is a freshman at Xavier U:</p>
<p>Here is her account:
-Students were avised about Katrina at about 1pm Sat
-She does not recall being advised of a mandatory evacuation
-She is not aware of any school-sponsored evacuations
-Many students were not able to get flights out (lack of financial resource for an expensive ticket, or lack of available flights (All airlines cancelled flights on Sunday, except USAir)
-The Guard did not evacuate the dorms. Rather, the dorms were turned into a refugee shelter and,as such, evacuations were not offered.
-Students remained in two dorms, one male, one female
-At last contact, students and refugees were on the 5th and 6th floors with water up to the third.
-None of her friends remaining behind have contacted their relatives or freinds since the storm (they are suspected still in the dorms/shelter)She is aware of MANY students left behind</p>
<p>*She made an important point: unlike some of the other schools in the area, where students were just moving in and many had yet to arrive, Xavier studenst had been on campus for two weeks. Parents were long gone and they had settled in. For them, this was a total displacement. Those who were able to evacuate left everyting behind (as other students at other schools have, I'm sure)</p>

<p>According to this article, UW-Madison is accepting displaced students who had previously been admitted to the school, and UW-Milwaukee is willing to make arrangements for displaced students, in addition to the previously mentioned Marquette information.</p>
<p>Columbia University in NYC. See <a href="http://www.columbia.edu%5B/url%5D">www.columbia.edu</a></p>
<p>added Murray State University, Murray, KY, to the SCUP (see my post above) list of schools willing to work with displaced students and faculty.</p>
<p>SMU is enrolling displaced students as guest for the semester at no charge. I don't know how they are handling housing, but they said they expected hundreds.</p>
<p>johns hopkins university</p>
<p>JHU hasn't done it yet, though I hope(and expect) they will. It is somewhat sad, though. There are likely a dozen or so pre-meds at Xavier who are from the Baltimore area.</p>
<p>Add Penn to the list. Free tuition, but no on campus housing available.</p>
<p>and bc (not only for loyola)</p>
<p>It is very touching how some colleges are willing to help our Tulane family of students and faculty in light of the Katrina tragedy.</p>
