<p>Help! Northern Californian can't decided between two very different schools. UW or Tulane?
Large or Small
Northwest or South
Rain or Heat
Seattle or New Orleans
Head up to Canada or Head to New Orleans and help rebuild?
With $$ from Tulane, RB and Tuition is the same at both schools
Is UW too big?
Will Tulane regain its status?
Keep northwest liberal culture, or experience a very different culture?</p>
<p>Any advise or comments are greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks</p>
<p>Also from Bay area here. Was up there this weekend visitng my daughter who is a freshman there. Cannot believe how absolutely beautiful the campus is. Traveling there by plane is quick and pretty cheap. Because of sections and freshman interest groups (FIGS) classes/school doesn't feel so large for my daughter. Her English class had 20 students. Her Italian classes have had 24. This quarter is the first time she has had a huge class and no section. She picked UW over Davis, UC San Diego, University of Oregon and Santa Clara for the most part. She is very happy with her decision.</p>
<p>What do you want to study? Tulane has cut back on the breadth of its offerings post-Katrina. </p>
<p>And you left out one more question: With or without cockroaches? :)</p>
<p>I would pick UW in a heart beat. I think as someone from NorCal, you will just have a better time at UW.</p>
<p>political science. and as far as the cockroaches go, Tulane's dorms are cleaned daily. UW's are the ones i'd be concerned about. actually, I was seriously considering joining a frat because of the horror stories i've heard at UW</p>
<p>mal,
I don't know about horror stories, but S's UW dorm is clean. :-)</p>
<p>not that they're dirty, just i've heard alot of people get put into triple rooms and they are far smaller and older than the one's at tulane.</p>
<p>Sounds likeyou've already made up your mind, maaldrid:) In UW's defense, my son's suite in McMahon seems very clean. As for getting stuffed into a triple, they key is to get your housing application in on the very first day possible -- unfortunately, I think that day has already passed.</p>
<p>no way, i'm 100% split. Dorms just happens to be, in what i've seen on tours, heard from friends, etc., one aspect where tulane wins. still, big v. small. they're very different experiences and I'm not sure what I want. thirteen days to decide!</p>
<p>I wont pretend to know much about Tulane, but just in comparing the locations of the schools... I'm not sure how you could possibly chose New Orleans over Seattle, it just has so much more to offer...</p>
<p>new orleans= great city where everybody's cool and relaxed yet party hard in the warmth, and have sick music
seattle=city where everybody's wired on starbucks coffee, think they're really hip and it rains constantly.</p>
