Which is more prestigious: BU or Tulane

[Anonymous]

BU for its location-Boston which is the center of research and tech!

Why AOC worked as a waitress when she has a degree from BU?

Why wouldn’t she?

Because you do not need to go to college if you will work as a waitress.

Her dad died while she was in college. Her mom cleaned houses and drove a bus to help her thru school. AOC stayed home to support her mom when she graduated. She worked at a nonprofit and some side jobs like bar tending.

She also had the guts to run for a us Congress seat to represent her constituents. Lots of folks here sitting on their fat butts dissing her. How about they try running for Congress and winning?

Oh please do tell us how you came to know “many” kids at Tulane and how you came to this conclusion about a school you’ve most likely never seen.

What? I'm from Texas. Many of my friends and classmates from my small private school went to Tulane. I went to UT and visited Tulane many times (best friend went there) to visit on weekends and some holidays. I met many of the kids there and had known a good handful from school. I even toured the campus during my tours. And yes, my original statement still stands. Going to undergrad in NOLA takes a special kind of kid. It takes party school to a different level, and I say that having done undergrad in ATX.

My friends at BU had a completely different experience.

Thanks. Your experience from 1975 is interesting, but hardly relevant now. Unlike you, I actually know several students there now - they all love it and I would not describe any of them as partiers.

Again, your assumptions are still off. I'm not that old but I do grant you that I sound distinguished - particularly by comparison. I know kids there then and now - both from undergrad and law school. Can you believe it? I've known kids from there for a long period of time. Crazy given that I lived in Houston so long which is only hours from NOLA. Why is this so hard to grasp?

My original statement still stands. I wouldn't send my kids to Tulane given the amount of time that I've spent there. I would send my kids to BU. You, however, can do you - as the young people say.

NP - I visited NOLA twice, and I would never send my kid to college there. Ever.

+100. The setting is no small matter.

I know a handful of kids who went there, and yeah, it took them ....awhile....to "unlearn" the habits they picked up on while at Tulane.

I had a friend who was Type diabetic and went. IDK what his parents were thinking. He died his first semester. So, no.

That is so unbelievably sad.

It was. Just tragic. Great kid, whole life ahead of him, serious but manageable condition. I’d known him literally my whole life. But his parents never said No, because he had so many other health related restrictions. They seemed to be making it up by not setting limits.

Hard to be mad at the parents, who are still friends with mine. Terrible judgement, but God knows they paid for it. So, I guess I direct anger at Tulane. Maybe not fair, since they don’t hide what they are.

But still, lots of parents send kids with strong family history of substance abuse or health problems or kids who they know were going beyond experimenting a bit with alcohol in HS and were already significant drinkers. I get it’s your kid, your call. But, I’ve seen what can happen, so I disagree with it for a subset of kids. A college’s atmosphere matters. Some kids can drink like fish in college and have fun and be fine. And some kids can’t. And parents should really consider their kid’s medical and family history and personality and any problems in HS before sending a kid to Tulane. It’s just next level alcohol use. If you have a diabetic, a kid with a strong family history of substance abuse, who is already demonstrating signs of problems with alcohol— WHY?

I get it. I have a diabetic kid and we decided together that a school within 2-3 hours of home would be ideal. This has worked out for us. You write about this friend dying and his parent’s poor choices on EVERY Tulane thread. Do you really need to rehash this all the time? I am truly sorry he died and, as a parent of a diabetic teen, that is my worse nightmare. But can you try and be respectful of his memory and his family and let it go?
Would

This anecdote is directly relevant to the thread topic, and, as an NP, I had not seen it before so I'm glad this person posted it. It illustrates exactly why Tulane could be a bad idea for some people.

This is a very sad story and I am sorry to hear it. However, I can personally offer a contrary anecdote. My husband, a Type 1 diabetic since the age of 7, went to Tulane. He had a great experience and his health was not an issue.

This is the point I was trying to make above. A Type 1 could die from not managing their lifestyle, over drinking and going into a coma at virtually ANY college. It is a horrible story and I am so sad for the poster and the family that lost him. But the truth is that the kid was immature and engaged in risky behavior. I am on forums for parents of diabetic teens and read about diabetics dying after drinking in college every few years. This happens at colleges all over the country.

I think that students should usually pick schools based on things like net cost, student satisfaction ratings, and grad school and employment outcomes data, not prestige.

But Boston University is tied with Northeastern for being the fourth most prestigious school in Boston.

Aside from Emory and, very arguably, the University of Miami and the University of Florida, Tulane is the most prestigious school in the entire Southeastern region. Tulane is much more important to the Southeast than BU is to New England.

Tulane is also in what is really a more interesting, more cosmopolitan city.

So, in my opinion, Tulane seems as if it’s more genuinely prestigious.

For purposes of choosing an underground graduate school: Strong, streetwise students who can drink without becoming alcoholics and have a chance to go to Tulane, and who would pay about the same amount for both schools, should choose Tulane over BU for most majors, because Tulane is a fine school in an amazing, fragile place. Go to New Orleans while it exists.

Other students who would pay about the same amount should usually pick BU, because they’re less likely to be killed by a cop or a criminal at BU, and
they’re much less likely to be evacuated due to a hurricane.

Ummmmm..., Duke, Vanderbilt, UNC, Washington and Lee, Davidson, even Wake Forest are better schools than Tulane that are in the South. Not just Emory

You’re responding to me here. I was thinking of a region that includes Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and maybe Arkansas and Kentucky. Duke and Vanderbilt are both clearly more prestigious than Tulane. I’m not sure about the other North Carolina schools you list really are. If Wake Forest is, maybe The Citadel and Sewanee are. But I see a lot of Tulane professors on TV, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Citadel or Sewanee professor on TV.

The only BU faculty member I’ve ever seen on TV is Isaac Asimov.

So, at a prestige parlor game level, I think Tulane beats places like Sewanee.

NP here. You knowledge of geography leaves a lot to be desired. It is silly to claim that "maybe" Arkansas and Kentucky count as the Southeast but not Tennessee and North Carolina.

I cannot recall seeing Tulane professors on TV. But I do see Ibram Kendi from BU on there an awful lot.

I read Ibram Kendi's book. It smoked pole. Wouldn't pay $70k a year for my kid to "learn" from him.

You haven't seen Tulane's John Berry on TV?

http://www.johnmbarry.com/events.htm

(he wrote the book on the 1918 flu.)

Anyway, I went to a school in new orleans as I was born and raised there. NoLa brings out the absolute worst in everybody. If your child is prone to sloth, they will be sloth-y-er. If they are prone to overeat; they/'ll do that. Drugs, sex, alcohol, music...it's all there. Kids who thrive at Tulane are dedicated. Those who aren't drop out. Many ended up at my no-name university.

Knowing nothing about BU except it's located in Boson, I'd say BU. Also, kids will be cold so maybe they'll study more.

Tulane has over an 85% graduation rate. Not quite as high as the schools it aspires to (e.g., Vandy, Emory) but damn high. Kids ain't dropping like flies left and right as your post implies.

John Barry is one. I don’t recall seeing him, but you said “a lot.”

I don’t think lots of kids drop out of Tulane now. I think that is its old rep.

I think the drinking perception of Tulane is totally overblown. I graduated from Tulane in 2002 so obviously some of my advice is dated but my understanding is that it has gotten harder to get into (eg higher SATs required every year) so if anything more prestigious than when I went there. My best friend went to BU and obviously this is anecdote but he visited me freshman year with a bunch of his friends and they went absolutely wild while here- because they were visiting and not living here. My entire group of friends did the French Quarter thing a few times freshman year and then were basically over it- my friends who visited all wanted to do only the French Quarter the entire Mardi Gras and the kids who went to Tulane just wanted to do parades.

We had decent access to bars (many you could get in at 18) so our exposure to drinking was more gradual/ European rather than the access at other schools where the only access is at frat parties, which I think just encourages more binge drinking. We would easily go to a bar and have a few drinks and go home because we could do it more often. When I visited friends at other schools I felt like we only did parties and I was astounded by all the bungeeing drinking.

Anyway, I think NOLA is a fabulous city to go to school and the Tulane campus is gorgeous. I think prestige-wise the schools are pretty comparable but I personally liked having a school with a campus- obviously many other people make other decisions. But I think that people saying that NOLA should be avoided because of drinking culture are very mistaken- there is access to alcohol at all colleges and having more city-wide access to it is not necessarily a hindrance.

I have many successful friends from Tulane- doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs.

Why wouldn’t she?

Because you do not need to go to college if you will work as a waitress.

You don’t have to go to college to be a SAHM or run some businesses or be a farmer ... yet many do. Also she had other jobs during the day. The idea that bartending is below a college graduate is not a good look.
