[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We are not in-state for Colorado.  The rough prices are $55k for Boulder and $90k for Tulane.  One concern I have is the 4 year graduation rate at Boulder which is 58% vs 77% at Tulane, which could mean paying 5 years tuition at Boulder.  The other concerns are info we have heard about lots of hard drugs in the dorms and the bottom 50% of students are pretty unmotivated.  Of course, Tulane has somewhat of a party reputation too although my sense is that there is a much higher percentage of motivated smart students.  [/quote]

My DC attends Tulane and has had a wonderful experience so far. There is definitely a lot of partying but the students seem serious about studying as well. There are a lot of supports available for tutoring, etc. to help keep students on track academically. Most of the classes are small to medium sized as well, so I think that puts additional pressure on them to stay engaged. We do qualify for financial aid, so I can't speak to the question of whether it's worth 90K.  [/quote]
