Tulane University of Louisiana Top Questions

I chose Tulane because it offered the full degree in Biomedical Engineering

the city and culture around me

Tulane has a very fun atmosphere. There is always something exciting happening for students to participate in.

I think the feel, as weird as that sounds, is what's unique about Tulane. We are an old school, founded in 1834, and have a mixture of old and new architecture. I've also heard that we are a Northern school placed in the South (33{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students are from the Northeast), and that we are the Harvard of the South. We also have the largest free-standing dome in the Northern Hemisphere, McAlister Auditorium! We also play football in the Dome. Who else can say they do that on a regular basis?

Tulane has these ancient gorgeous live oaks all over campus, as well as modern art installations. There are always events going on in the quads too - live music, free snowballs and icecream. The live music is my favorite - you never know when you'll turn around a corner and a band will be playing. I also love that because the weather is so warm the quads double as an awesome place to tan (and you can tan up untill...december? yeah, your friends at home will be jealous). Another thing I like about campus is that its so bike friendly. And right across from a beautiful park! I'm pretty sure no other college campuses have the streetcar running right by either (except for Loyola, since it's right next door to Tulane!)

Tough to replicate the compact, but green feel of uptown New Orleans. Being across from Audubon is also a plus.

New Orleans is pretty awesome. Basically imagine Disney Land if the goal of the park instead of entertaining children was getting 20-something mad hammered. Welcome to the big easy. Tulane exists in a land-locked grid of about a square mile surrounded by a some-what affluent up-town community, and then surrounded by the biggest party city in the nation. On any night - given you're willing to throw down around a hundred bucks and are morally ambiguous - you can seemingly do anything. Get trashed on daqueri, play checkers with a homeless man, go to an all male strip club are all wild adventures Tulane and its city have provided me. This is seriously a crazy city and three years later, I haven't even scraped the service of what this place has to provide.

The best, and most unique, thing about Tulane's campus is the fact it's in New Orleans. Because it's Uptown, the campus itself is surrounded by a pretty quiet neighborhood but just $1.25 and a 15-20 min streetcar ride and you're right downtown, able to experience all that New Orleans has to offer.

The small size keeps classes personal and professors accessible.

New Orleans is the best possible environment for me to attend college, tons of learning opportunities, the spirit that comes from being in the city that is emphasized by TUlane is great
