[quote=Anonymous]I'm the 11:34 poster, back with a few links.

The one I was thinking of was this one — https://www.reddit.com/r/Tulane/comments/1c9ushz/thoughts_on_tulane_as_someone_who_experienced_a/ — with the key excerpt being "Tulane definitely wasn’t what I expected it to be. In all honesty, I did expect it to be a little more academic/intellectually focused. Party culture is very, very strong here, and if you aren’t at all into party culture, it can be very, very isolating at times. People go out on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, sometimes Wednesday or other nights. That was a very big culture shock for me. I knew people partied in college, but the scale most certainly shocked me. The hallways in the dorms very frequently smell like weed. Coming from a mid-sized to smaller town, I was completely unfamiliar with party culture (other than pasture parties), weed culture, pre-game culture, and darties (that was a word I learned at Tulane). The culture shock was a lot. I’d like to add that I don’t have an issue with partying inherently as long as people do it safely, but Tulane’s party culture truly, truly shocked me. If you’re considering coming to Tulane, that is something to be aware of here."

There's also this post — https://www.reddit.com/r/Tulane/comments/1c0tti8/where_do_tulane_students_go_out_is_tulane_a_party/ — which asks in the title "Is Tulane a party school?" and then gets so distracted doing reviews of different bars and noting "I have been given drugged vat a few times at Ksig (although sometimes they hand out pancakes, which I do appreciate)" that they never actually get around to answering the "Is Tulane a party school?" question.

As a counterpoint, there's this post — https://www.reddit.com/r/Tulane/comments/1bs0m7j/can_academicnonpartying_kids_enjoy_tulane/ — with a couple of people noting their ability to navigate the scene. But in light of the other two links, if I were advising a friendly, academicky kid on the two schools, I would 100% steer them towards William & Mary.[/quote]
