Wall Residential College Application?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University
1

<p>I received an application for this dorm next year - it has 250 students. Not sure what the benefits are for being in this dorm besides some random committees they assign you. Anybody know if it's even worth applying for this dorm - does it give you better connections at the school or anything?</p>

<p>Also, im taking 3 AP tests next week - AP European History, AP Physics B, and AP Spanish Language. I'm not sure my scores on these even matter at all - I know I need a 4 or 5 to place out at Tulane - but are any of these subjects a part of the core curriculum?</p>

<p>It’s definitely the nicest dorm.</p>

<p>And that suite-style set up sounds a helluva lot nicer than community bathrooms.</p>

<p>How about for making connections at the school? I dont really care about set up - I’m used to the worst conditions from boarding school</p>

<p>Just living on campus will help you make connections, regardless of the dorm you sleep in. Plus, TU often has events and activities on campus and whatnot. Meeting people will be easy, even if Wall isn’t the biggest dorm they offer… </p>

<p>Tbh, I’d just think of it this way: you can still party with the kids who live in Sharp, Monroe, etc., but you just have a quieter place to sleep and do work at night…</p>

<p>did you receive that application in the mail?</p>

<p>Smile: My son received the Wall Application by email.</p>

<p>^same 10char</p>

<p>Turned in the app today! Wanted to live there all along… The app is a pain, so if u don’t have a special interest in Wall, spend your at least 2,3 hours on sth. else!</p>

<p>Saw the application. Why did you apply?</p>

10

<p>Smile: My son received the Wall Application by email. </p>

<p>thanks much…
Did he receive it through one of his old e-mail accounts or through a new one established with Tulane.</p>

11

<p>never mind…we found it</p>

12

<p>I applied because I didn’t want to have to live in a crazy dorm without quite time. But if u like parties, just go to Sharp or Monroe!</p>

13

<p>I like parties but i also wanna be able to study and sleep at night. is that not possible in those dorms?</p>

14

<p>It’s possible, but it’s just that there’s more of the parties at Monroe and Sharp compared to Wall. Plus Wall is a community oriented dorm, residential college. So, u need to be involved to be able to stay in wall… It definitely is a newer and nicer dorm though!</p>

15

<p>It is definitely possible to study and sleep. I live in Monroe and I’m always able to do both very well.</p>

16

<p>Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone applying for Wall is writing responses near the word limit for each question…?</p>

17

<p>No, we don’t write our essays based on the word limit! We write 3 x limit, so they won’t have time to read our essay! LOL

Haha, well… actually, I turned mine in already. Some are a bit under, some are couple words over. I suppose this is just like any high school essay you’d write. There’s a word limit, and u decide how much u want to write yourself!</p>

<p>guhengshuo are your main priorities at tulane going to be your studies? and where else did you seriously consider attending school?</p>

<p>my son is writing the essays for Wall. He is having some reservations about living in a dorm with a family. His vision of a college dorm does not include kids running up and down the halls. I told him that I suspect that the family will be housed in a separate housing unit attached to the dorm. Is this true?
Do the students in Wall have the privacy that the other dorms have when it comes to over night guest?</p>

<p>There are no halls to run up and down at Wall like there would be at Monroe and other hall bath dorms, and in any case we are talking one professor in a special suite. I think the previous family had a small child, perhaps even pre-running stage. [Tulane</a> University - Time Well Spent for Professor-in-Residence](<a href=“http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/102309_wall_professor.cfm?RenderForPrint=1]Tulane”>http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/102309_wall_professor.cfm?RenderForPrint=1) I thought there was a new prof-in-residence for this coming year, but I am not finding that news item at the moment. Perhaps I am confusing it with whatever professor was selected for the new dorm for sophomores, SoHo. In any case if your son’s vision of a college dorm are students running up and down the halls instead of pre-schoolers (i.e. communal bathroom arrangement), then Monroe or Sharp are the right choices. Otherwise I think he has little to worry about.</p>

<p>The privacy issue is no different at Wall than other dorms. You have a roommate, and that is the same no matter what dorm you are in. I suppose there is the additional issue of sharing the bathroom with a specific smaller group, as opposed to the entire hall, but I am not sure how this is a privacy issue. Maybe I don’t understand what you are asking.</p>
