[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Timely topic as our DC is seeing many of their friends sharing Tulane ED admissions. Every child we’ve known who has chosen Tulane is looking for the fun, party scene first and solid academics second. They are certainly solid students, but they are partying extroverts above all else. Let’s call a spade a spade. [/quote]

So they have fun and get a good education.  Sounds like a smart move.[/quote]

That's what I told my DD who was accepted. I'm excited for her.  I went to a pressure cooker school for undergrad and an even tougher law school. I had no fun and ulcers. My DD is academically inclined enough that she will be responsible and do her work, and throw herself into it. She likes being a good student. But she also wants a social life and to some fun.

She'll be able to do both at Tulane.

I'm dancing around for her instead of wishing for her what I endured. [/quote]

I feel the same way for our DD that was accepted.  This is a pivotal time of self growth.  DD’s friend is a freshman and he finds Tulane academically challenging, but he’s had opportunities to make great friends and is truly happy there.  DD plans to visit in the spring to check it out more closely (covid-permitting).  Tulane also has a great environment for service and giving back to the community.  I’m hoping this will be a time for her to not be all about herself (i.e., stuck in the grind) and spend some of her time helping others.  There will be plenty of time later to grind it out during grad school and beyond.  [/quote]
