<p>I just sent in my deposit, and it wasn't to Tulane. I'm going to Northwestern in fall. Regardless, I do want to thank everyone who has helped me through this whole Tulane application process. I really really loved Tulane, and it was in the lead by a long shot until I visited Northwestern and I fell in love with it. It's in no way a reflection of Tulane at all-just that I felt like a fit in a little better at Northwestern. </p>
<p>So thanks to those who answered my questions and convinced me that I really should consider Tulane as this great option, and I wish everyone who's going there a great year. (And warmer weather year than I'll have, for sure!)</p>
<p>Hey, we cannot win them all! Really sorry to lose you, definitely Northwestern’s gain. Did you figure in the cost of Eskimo clothing into your COA? LOL. Best of luck there.</p>
<p>Chicago is a beautiful and exciting city (won’t comment on Evanston) regardless of the weather. You will have a great time at a great university. </p>
<p>One very early winter morning I was standing on a Lake Michigan beach near NW with the temperature at about –15. The sun was coming up and “steam” was rising from the lake. It was as though I was on another planet, simply one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen.</p>
