<p>OK.... I know I have been asking the differences between UMiami and Tulane, but the more I read, the more I am getting the impression that Tulane is similar in "feel" to Wake Forest. By that I mean:
Rigorous academics
Preppy-dressed students
No big sports support
Spirited - but because of the bond a small private school provides
Greek life is popular</p>
<p>Any comments???</p>
<p>That’s probably pretty accurate, although I thought Wake was big into basketball. Has that tapered off?</p>
<p>Certainly one of the biggest differences in these schools is location. New Orleans vs. Winston-Salem presents about as great a contrast as you can get. Well, I suppose a rural town in Alaska would be even more contrast, but you get the idea. Also Wake has a religious foundation and I think that still influences the makeup of the student body somewhat. How much that matters I have no idea. I know I often see questions from Jewish students that are looking for schools with large Jewish populations, so it matters to some people obviously.</p>
<p>So I think this one really comes down to New Orleans vs. W-S, unless there is something really specific you are looking for, such as a religious aspect.</p>
<p>No real religious aspect anymore. And no real basketball team anymore. So, yes, maybe it comes down to NOLO vs W-S. Hmmmmmm…</p>
