<p>Can you guys please give me your opinions on Tulane university in NOLA.</p>
<p>It's good.</p>
<p>Students seem very happy with the college experience. Academics are a notch below Vanderbilt and Emory, but still well-respected. New Orleans is a city on the mend, and there are lots of community service opportunities. Lots of places to drink and party.</p>
<p>My s turned down Emory for Tulane. I'll let you know how it goes. He is excited.</p>
<p>Is my computer messed up? Because it looks like the answer was provided before the question. That's a little suspicious. Even more suspicious is that the question was posted a minute after the answer.</p>
<p>If I didn't know better, I would think that the person meant to answer his own question, but posted the wrong post first.</p>
<p>I don't know why it did that either, it's weird.</p>
<p>lgellar, I too am seeing that, which suggests either koq did post first, or there is a database issue for the forums. </p>
<p>Either way, Tulane is good school, and seems to havely recovered from the havoc of Katrina. Definitely worth looking at if they offer the academic area of greatest interest to you.</p>
<p>A former prof there told me that Tulane is Party Central in a partyin' town.</p>
<p>The KOQ/lgeller posts have the same problem so I'm guessing a database issue.</p>
<p>Like every other school, the party is there if you seek it out. All of the Greek life is off campus, so you have to look for it. The academics are excellent, my DS is a rising sophomore (in Chile at the moment with the Latin Studies program studying South American economics--well organized, Tulane profs, and $4k total for 8 credit hours) and he worked hard for his 3.125 GPA freshman year. He was considering Wake Forest, Vandy, but Tulane is like no where else. NOLA is like no where else. He loves it, therefore so do we.</p>
<p>John Kennedy Toole, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of A Confederacy of Dunces, attended Tulane undergrad.</p>
<p>That makes it automatically awesome in my book.</p>
