Tulane University of Louisiana Top Questions

Students at Tulane are not as diverse as other schools due to the cost of tuition. However, Tulane does have students from all over the world and country and I have found in my experience that all are friendly. The majority of Tulane students are comprised of career-track students, those wanting to complete degrees in Business, Medicine and Law. There are, however, a large number of Philosophy and English majors who tend to be different from the other types of students. In addition, the Architecture school also provides another unique type of student, not found on all college campuses.

They definatly spend their weekends out partying, but they are academically focused as well. I'd say they have struck the perfect balance. Tulane is for smart kids that like to party.

The students who attend Tulane arrive from all over the country. Aside from the Ivy League schools, Tulane has one of the most geographically diverse student bodies in the country. I am from Chicago and I have made friends from all corners of the country as well as students from other countries. I believe that this diversity is one of Tulane's strongest assets. While geographically diverse, Tulane is not however very ethnically diverse. Going to public schools in an urban setting my whole life up until college, I have been used to interacting with people of many races and socioeconomic backgrounds. At Tulane, most of the students are wealthier white kids and many of them have not grown up in racially diverse settings.

There really aren't any racial groups at Tulane because pretty much everyone is white. All the black students are athletes, there aren't many asians, and there aren't any hispanics. I think it's bad because many of the kids don't have any cultural knowledge. When my parents came to visit during parent weekend, there were a group of SigEp brothers who started yelling racial slurs at me and my parents. I mean seriously...are you kidding me? You're like 20 years old, grow up! I also won't forget about how they flicked off my dad when we got into our car. Students at Tulane are just so self absorbed. It's gotten to the point where I don't even feel comfortable being on campus. Most students come from a middle-upper income family. A lot of students are from the Northeast. It's kind of annoying because there are so many Boston area kids. Because of this, most students are liberal and care a lot about politics. There are a lot of Obama fans here.

Students at Tulane run the spectrum of fashion. When it rains, out pop the brightly colored rain boots. Students often have boots covered in vibrant colors or patterns, making the gray, rainy day more cheerful. During the very mild winter weather, many female student wear mini-skirts with Ugg boots, which seem silly in a place that rarely gets below 50 degrees fahrenheit. During any type of weather, there are always a variety of flip-flops, sunshine, rain, or snow. It is not too unusual to see a girl wearing a strand of pearls with her gym clothes. Students go to class in anything from sundresses, skirts, blouses, and heels, to sweats, t-shirts and tennis shoes. Boys wear anything from jeans and t-shirts to suits.

Many are religious, few attend their respective religious locations on a regular basis. Tulane is a liberal, northern school in a southern state. LGBT accepted, but there isn't a huge population. Vera Wang, J Crew, Coach, and Longchamp are extremely common brands

The students, at least within the Greek community are very alike. A student who is very shy and/or has trouble with socializing would have a very hard time fitting in at Tulane as students like to engage with one another, faculty, and even administration while still contributing intellectual ideas. My roomate freshman year was very shy and had a much much harder time adjusting to life at Tulane than someone who was not afraid to talk to people they did not know.

The type of students that will feel out of place at Tulane are the students who are not involved. Everyone wears tee-shirts and shorts with flip flops, or some dress up casually. Most Tulane students are from California, and up north. No one really talks about how much money that they will earn one day.

tulanes pretty homogenous. most black kids on campus are athletes, or they don't go here and are visiting an athlete. everyones pretty wealthy for the most part. lots of kids are on scholarships (up to like 20,000 for merit). nerds would feel out of place here. don't come here if you don't like to have fun or be social. tulane is small enough to get to know a large circle of people but big enough that you won't meet everyone while you're here. people arent really preoccupied with money/theirs or their parents money, but everyone wants to make $$ when theyre done here, obviously. money is shown through clothes and drugs of choice.

- because of its location, you can find pretty much any different type of student at Tulane - but they all coexist peacefully - Tulane students are from all over the country; many are from the northeast, but there are also a large number from the south

Most of the student body are from the North east of the U.S. and of an age range of 17ish to maybe early 30s. It is the students from 17ish to the mid 20s at most that will get the most so called help. I found NO wish to have people of other backgrounds to mix, OR have students of other years/time at the school to aid other students in a REAL way. Many students have a sink or swim feeling and a blind unknown feeling of what to do OR how to find help with the things they want/need or should do.

The diversity is awesome - there aren't many cliques left over from high school and you can learn a ton from hanging out with people from all over the country.

there are students from everywhere at tulane so its hard to say. a lot of northeastern students. not as many louisiana studetnts as one might think. i loved being able to meet people from all over the country and it is one of my favorite things about tulane. there is no clear political stand for the enitire student body, it is very diverse in the sense of geography and political views and all that but not so much racially or soci-economically. i mean, its not a cheap school!!

Tulane might as well be a mini-Long Island. Majority of its students are from Long Island, South Florida, and the suburbs of Chicago. Be prepared for rich kids with an interest in fashion, both guys and girls! Upper/middle class financial backgrounds are the most prevalent on Tulane's campus. Students are not afraid to flaunt their money...those who have it spend like they have it. Designer jeans, sunglasses, bags, and shoes are the norm.

Very involved students. Students who are anti-social may feel out of place, as Tulanians are always out and about. Drinking is a big part of many students nightlife, but certainly not all. I know many people who don't drink and are not pressured to.

Very clickish. Highly involved in greek life or organizations of that nature. Overall, they are good people.

You will find people from all over the country and all over the world, but generally everyone is middle, upper-middle, and upper-class suburban kids, and very often from the North-East, Mid-West, or Louisiana. There are all different types of people though, and most everybody is really friendly. Students tend to be very politically active, and the campus is definitely a liberal campus, not that there aren't a few conservatives, it is a southern school after all. Many students are very concerned with making their fortune after school, and others are clearly there to find a husband. But for the most part people are just passionate about their hard work and major studies.

I don't think a student CAN feel out of place at Tulane. It's a radically eclectic place. I take that back. Most of the student body at Tulane has money. This means that some nights I didn't get to go out while other kids did. It wasn't socially crippling, though. There's a ton of stuff to do on campus and we still had fun. I think that different types of students interact well. I think that this is partially owed to the party atmosphere of Tulane. We're not divisive or elitest. Everyone parties together and in a cafeteria - eclectic groups sit together.

As far as Tulane goes, there are kids that are on extreme financial aid and then extremely rich Northeasterners, without much in between. However, most rich kids aren't stuck up, although sometimes they don't realize that they are alienating their less-than-wealthy classmates, like by routinely going out to dinner or by continually opting for the top shelf liquor and beer, when other kids can't quite afford to do that all the time. Everyone gets along, and I routinely hang out with kids who in high school would be classified as jocks, nerds, preppy, Emo and everything else you can think of. Everyone has a good sense of humor, and can take jesting in stride, and if they can't, they usually don't have very many friends. In class, kids wear whatever, I have a friend who wears his pajamas to class and another friend who is dressed like Jackie-O for our 8 a.m. class. Tulane is welcoming of all races, sexual orientations and religions, and there is a strong Jewish population, with more than 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body being Jewish, earning Tulane the nickname "Jewlane." Tulane students are all different, but the common theme is definitely high intelligence and a love of drinking and partying.

Tulane is a northern school located in the south. Don't expect to be surrounded by southern accents. Many students are from the east coast and many students are very preppy. NO ONE wears pajamas or sweatpants to class. Girls also typically are considered to be "slutty" and guys get around too, but this is not true for everyone.
