[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the appeal (fun city, great weather from Oct-Apr…you avoid the summer muck, etc), but while most people have heard of Tulane I don’t think it has a huge national reach.

Kids I know from the DMV struggled to get internships in the DMV.  Both finally stayed in Houston and NO for an internship.

I think any kid going to Tulane should plan to live in that region of the country to start their career.  That should be fine for most kids…it should be part of the reason for attending.[/quote]

Fun city. Have you visited New Orleans in the last year? Anything but fun. Scary is more like it. [/quote]

I bet you are from Potomac or McLean or some such Basic place and check to make sure your car doors are locked if you have to drive through downtown DC because it is sooo scary. OMG, look -- homeless people! So many POC. OMG. Lock the doors. Lol. [/quote]

Actually, no, not from the DMV area. Have family that lives in New Orleans and grew up there. They are even discussing leaving. If you call, unconscious men, naked from the waist down line in doorways, OK, or unconscious women, dressed in rags, laying in the middle of the sidewalk in the French quarter OK, or drug deals in plain sight during the day near Jackson Square or getting harassed, walking down the street for being a female OK, then New Orleans is for you.

This. We went to New Orleans last year and we will never go back. This isn’t the edgy slightly seedy New Orleans of the 90s. This is dangerous, blighted, very sad. Once the city council made it impossible for law-enforcement to remove incapacitated people from the streets you will be stepping over them or around them as you make your way through the French Quarter. There’s a reason why there was a recall for the mayor. The city of New Orleans is in crisis.[/quote]
