Np but southern frats have angering amounts of sexual harassment and assault that goes underreported and title IX has failed to protect women in these instances. It’s not prejudice to lay out the truth that those spaces arent made for women.

I never understand the people who mindlessly promote the weather in New Orleans, Texas, Atlanta, Arizona, Houston (all locations of oft-discussed schools). Do you even know what you're talking about, as you type from Bergen County or Stamford?

New Orleans weather isn't "warm" (except in February). It's balls hot and the sticky AF. It's swamplike, truly. And because it's belowish sea level, New Orleans flat out stinks between May and Thanksgiving.

This is not a reason to take Tulane, Rice, SMU, ASU, Baylor etc off your list. They all have their merits.

But for the love of godd, please stop and think before you type that 104 degrees for days on end is "warm, good" weather (Dallas, Austin, Tempe). Or that 87% humidity is "warm." No, it's a fetid swamp.

You are aware of the months of the year that students are generally at their school, right? There are few 104 degree days during those months. There are a lot of below freezing days at schools up north during those months.

My experience is from Texas and this just…isn’t correct.

The weather stays 100 or so until nearly the end of September now. Then it moves into a heavy rainy/flooding season that you in DC might call fall. Then it gets colder and the weather is fine. Then in January/february/sometimes March it’s 20-40°, and then sometime in April you’re back to 90° and sweating bullets. It’s not a nice climate, and I’m not sure how anyone could perceive it as such

+1 southern weather sucks.

Tulane's campus isn't exactly adjacent to Bourbon St.

It's way up St Charles next to Audubon Park in a neighborhood of mansions.

Sure and uchicago isn’t in O-block, but everyone here talks about it like there’s daily shootings on campus.

I've lived in both Chicago and New Orleans. Tulane is in the leafy, wealthy Uptown of Nola with fancy mansions that look like the White House. Hyde Park is a place I would not want to live.

Austin averages three 100 degree days in September. There were zero in 2024, one in 2023, and zero in 2022. Meanwhile, it averages 4-6 days of rain per month during most of the months, and January is the coldest month with average highs in the low 60s and the average high in April is 80. Dallas isn’t particularly different on any of these fronts. You can’t just make stuff up.

Compare this to months of cold and snow in New England and the Midwest, and it isn’t hard to understand why kids view the weather as better during the school year down south.

The people on DCUM typing away against Tulane with this "No not impressive" stuff are pounding away at their keyboard in their dingy pajamas as the 32 yr old DS who lives in their basement makes attempt no 3 at GMU.

This is the fallacy of the excluded middle. There's a lot of schools that aren't Harvard or Tulane. Most of them, I would rather send my kid to than Tulane. Overpriced finishing school for party kids. At least he'd learn something at George Mason.

I did a prof degree at Tulane and a grad degree at George Mason. Your assessment is way off.

This is clearly some parent whose kid couldn't get into any school better than George Mason or a peer institution. Disregard the crazies.

What? No. I don't even have a kid.

Dallas is pretty different. We had 55 100°+ days in 2023 and 23 the past year. We just finished up an ice storm and the city is picking up heat just to drop back down to under freezing this coming week. Dallas is a plains city; Austin is in the middle of the state and carries the humidity from Houston much nicer. Austin is the plainest climate in the state.

Title IX has failed to protect women in all instances. Just saying.

Why does anyone live in Dallas? The last 90° day was October 23rd. That’s miserable.

But very few of those were in September 2023 and I believe none last year.

You got some ice. Much of the north got buried in snow that won’t melt for weeks or months. You have a bunch of sunny days in the 50s and 60s coming up. Much of the north is praying to break above freezing.

That’s why people make comments about places in the south having better weather during school months, even New Orleans (we all know summer sucks down there). No one is saying it’s perfect, but compared to the alternative.

Difference is infrastructure. There’s a big difference getting some ice when your cities never plan for them and you have a faulty power grid. You really should understand that common cold weather is about expected as intensely warm weather is in the northeast. People die from these things.
I also second the comment on the west coast. If you want good weather, go there.

The last 100° day in 2023 was September 24th. It’s not the temperature is swinging under 70 in shifts for 100° days. That’s obnoxiously hot and those high temps were common until nearly thanksgiving.

Yea because the basement of a frat house with rapey elitist white males is so much better.

Ignorance + extreme inclination toward judgement is an ugly combination. I bet you make these kinds of biased judgements about everyone but are smart enough to keep them quiet with regard to other groups.

Np but southern frats have angering amounts of sexual harassment and assault that goes underreported and title IX has failed to protect women in these instances. It’s not prejudice to lay out the truth that those spaces arent made for women.

Tulane is in the South, yes. But the Frats are made up with more than 70% from NE Kids and 20% West Coast kids….
