[quote=Anonymous]I went to Tulane because they gave me a great scholarship. I'm a foreigner so had no idea about NOLA- this was pre-Katrina. Imagine my surprise landing at NOLA!

I loved every moment I spent at Tulane. I was (still am) in love with the city and how there was music everywhere. Yes, there were tons of parties, and yes, we did do things we shouldn't have done. But, 15+ years out, I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience.

Would I want my children to go to Tulane? I don't know. Hopefully, they will not be in a position to need aid like I did. But if we were deciding between someplace like Mount Holyoke or Denison or some other small town school like that, I would *hand down* choose Tulane. If my child can attend a school that's ranked 10 places higher than Tulane, I would send them to the better ranked school. If not, the cultural aspect of the school and the city (in my opinion) are a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

In terms of academics/career, I have friends who've done really well, and some that have not. I think that's true for most schools. I ended up going to a T14 law school and am a lawyer now. And I am dreaming of moving to NOLA the day I retire. [/quote]
