The person waving the flag is a young American adult who is part of the Catholic ministry at Tulane. He grew up in Northern Virginia and went to school in MD.

I know this young man - if anyone wants to support his ministry, I can provide his contact info.

Catholics can reach out to this ministry on campus.

Tulane has been on a tear upgrading buildings and dorms. School looks amazing.

Probably because of my anecdotal experience, I think of Tulane as a Jewish school. Academically, I think it has an ok rep, and as much as I love NOLA, I don't think of it as a safe city and wouldn't want my young adult there. But to each his own.

Right. Because places like USC and the University of Chicago, Penn and Temple, Johns Hopkins, Emory, NY schools, GWU, etc. are in so much safer environments.

GWU is quite safe. But I agree some of these are in dodgy areas.

Emory? You put Druid Hills in the same category as "dangerous". That is funny.
