University of Maryland (UMD) or Tulane

To an international transfer student, tuitions are not big difference for me, so it is not a factor that really affects for me

Tulane: I always want to experience the education in a private university and Tulane is located at the city of new orleans, which is a big city in the south. Tulane and NOLA has some many crazy festivals and nice atmosphere

UMD: 30 mins away from the Capitol (Washington D.C.) It has one of the best football and basketball teams (being a sports fanatics, this really attracts me) and more Asian and Chinese food, which is my hometown cuisine.

They both have very nice academic standing in the nation. The only difference is that Tulane offers me to go to their business school. However, UMD did not offer me directly entering their business school. Instead, I have to take some lower devision business class and keep my GPA super good to enter business school and this is risky.

There is no much video for UMD on youtube which can helps me to know more about it. Tulane’s videos are super nice and appealing.

Both places are not super safe and my parents are worried about

Any alumni or students can give me some suggestion?
I have to make a decision by this week
HELP PLZ!!!
