| For overall quality of experience and education? History focus. |

Right? I mean, what is the poster trying to accomplish? |

There are other factors than school x’s ranking in U.S. news. |

| US News is not the end all by any means, but some posters here seem unwilling to give any weight to academic reputation (not just in this thread). |

Agree. It involved the same colleges being mentioned. OP, if you have to ask, we can't help you. Maybe do you own homework and find out. |

Tulane for sure. The overall experience is excellent.

| I like the WSJ college comparison tool. It gives a pretty objective overview, ranking the schools on outcomes and student experiences, to include environment, resources, costs, and overall value. Georgetown blows Tulane away on almost every measure. Nobody who is actually looking for the highest quality education that can get with a clearer path to a strong outcome would select Tulane over Georgetown. if you want more fun, less pressure, cool city, sure, pick Tulane--and there's nothing wrong with that. I could see encouraging my own kid in that direction. But for education and overall experience, there is no comparison. OP is obviously just trolling. |

The parties are better at Tulane and expensive at Georgetown.
Tulane has a better football team. There. Now we have covered everything that matters. Enjoy. |

To be fair, PR ranks Tulane number 1 for student happiness, while Georgetown is not even ranked in the T25. I know Georgetown seems like the obvious choice for many, but this should be accounted for when academics are not miles away but other factors (like happiness) are. |

| My DD thought Georgetown's admissions process (interview, essays, etc.) was too time consuming. She had the stats but opted not to apply. |

She must not have really wanted to go there then. Maybe that’s a good screening tool they use. |
