[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was accepted with great merit aid. We toured - lovely part of New Orleans.

DD was totally turned off by the dorms. I know - fickle kids. And I wanted to be open minded but I couldn’t pull the trigger on sending my DD to New Orleans.

Years ago I was at an annual sales meeting for a large software company. On of my colleagues called down to the hotel lobby to complain about the noise in an adjoining room early one morning.

Turns out it was one of the subcontracted AV guys being murdered in the room in a ritualistic black magic slaying.

This is not an urban legend.

A lot to like about New Oreans and I liked Tulane.

Do you think Tulane students are at high risk of being exposed to black magic and being murdered ritualistically? This is a serious question. [/quote]

PP here.

Never in my life did I think anyone I had any remote connection to would be at risk of such an act. And yet it happened. So with all the schools in the world why am I going to send my DD to an environment where I know it's possible. College students are young and by their very nature they lack maturity and my DD did not grow up having to be street smart. New Orleans can be a dangerous city. So short answer as much as I tried to have an open mind - I didn't.

My DD also looked at Fordham and that wasn't happening. My DD does not have the street smarts to be on Fordham Road so why am I going to put her in that environment.

Ironically, I would have been ok with DD attending Columbia or Barnard because we know the area and we would have advised her accordingly. Morningside Heights is quite nice but it's an enclave that is surrounded by some dangerous neighborhoods. And it is sad to say but folks that do not respect that do so at their own peril.

So, to answer your question yes I think Tulane students do have a higher risk than most college students of being the victim of a violent crime.
