Tulane University of Louisiana Top Questions

the tulane administration doesn't go out of their way for the students

i would be willing to bet that 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of people who come here would say that tulane has the most exciting night life of any school in the country. every person who has visited me from another school says that the night life in new orleans made their school look like middle school. on the other hand, this is probably the least accomodating administration in the world. people come here for new orleans, not tulane. it is impossible to do anything at this school without being referred to someone else by at least ten or fifteen people before finding the administrator who can actually solve the problem. the administration is worse about efficiency than my high school, which is saying a lot. if the social scene here was not overwhelmingly awesome, i would see absolutely no need to continue to put up with the garbage that i get everytime i try to handle any sort of housing/academic problem.

I think Tulane is the perfect size for a university. You definitely meet a ton of people, but it's not like at the big schools where you meet a new person one night and never see them again. Campus is really small but just a streetcar ride away from downtown New Orleans, a fantasticly cultured and exciting city that just never gets old. The attraction of the city draws focus away from a lot of campus activities like sports functions. Students definitely have a LOT of school pride, but not many people go to games.

It's a beautiful urban campus, which you don't find often. It's the perfect size- you run into the people you don't want to see and never seem to find the person you're looking for. It has the best location. The students are very smart, but also have great social skills and know how to have a good time. There isn't as much school pride as large state schools, but you'll always see people walking around campus supporting the school.

Tulane is the best college as far as I am concerned. This city is the most amazing place to go to school in because not only can you have an amazing time any day, any time, but you can also be a part of history as we rebuild New Orleans. I love the people, the atmosphere, the beautiful campus, the amazing and caring teachers...I LOVE TULANE. There is only one problem with Tulane, there are not enough cute gay boys. If you are gay, and cute, come to Tulane, we need you and you will LOVE it here.

Tulane is just right in size. There aren't so many people that the classes have 500 kids in them, but you could go all 4 years and not know everyone at the school. The smaller class sizes make it easier to develop relationships with professors who can write you a letter of rec later on down the road. When people hear I go to Tulane, the first things that come to their mind are Katrina and the party lifestyle of New Orleans. There's always something to talk about when you mention that you go to school in New Orleans, which is pretty cool. I live off campus, so I'm mostly on campus just for class, food, the gym, and intramural games. People are proud that they go to Tulane, but not really for the sports teams. I'll always remember when Katrina hit, because Tulane was part of history. Even though it was a terrible tragedy, I came out of the experience a stronger person, and the school really bounced back quickly. The most frequent student complaint I hear is that sophomores have to live on campus now, which wasn't the case when I was a sophomore. It has really negatively affected the fraternities, because usually sophomores are the ones who live in the fraternity houses.

-The best thing about Tulane is the location. New Orleans is a great place! -One thing I'd change is the slow internet in the dorm rooms. -I think the size of the school is just right. Maybe a little bigger would be good though, because information gets around fast. -People from home, most people don't know what Tulane is; but people with higher jobs (.ie. doctors, etc) all know what Tulane is and know its a great school. -Hahaha... most Tulane students would laugh at my answer to this, but I spend most of my time at Bruff Commons... not eating all the time though; to hang out and do work also. -One experience I'll always remember? How about all the experiences I won't/can't remember? -One complaint I always hear is "Why can't the boot accept GreenBucks?"

Tulane is in New Orleans, and this city changes every single student who goes to Tulane. The NOLA culture in amazing and every Tulane student is proud to be part of the community.

The best thing about Tulane is the city. It is a great cultural and historical resource, plus it is a lot of fun. The size of the school is great; you can meet new people all the time, but there will always be some way to relate that person back to another person that you already know. New Orleans is the same way; it is a big city, but the neighborhoods give it a smaller more personal feel. The Tulane administration seems evasive. They talk a lot about trying to do things the way the students want them done, but they either do not ask them about major decisions, or pick a small group that does not represent the entire school. There is a lot of school pride, but it is usually mixed with some of the stereotypes above. People do not really get that involved with school politics, but there is a lot of involvement in activities and community service. I think that is a major positive trait, the community service opportunities available.

The best thing about Tulane is the school we're in. No other school in the country can offer the culture and environment that New Orleans has. It's truly an amazing environment to go to school in. I'd change and hope to improve the administration's relationship with organizations, specifically the Greeks community. The school isn't too big or too small, but it's great when you walk down the street or look around class, and you can know everyone or no one, it's entirely up to you.
