[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tulane. School is beautiful but could not get over how unsafe we felt in New Orleans at 10pm. And I (and DD) are not new to cities. I have worked in DC and Baltimore. But felt relieved to get back to hotel. Definitely crossed off list. But to be fair, it was a reach for DD anyway. Excited to be UVA bound (which was also reach but legacy). [/quote]

I went to a conference there once, for four days. One participant was robbed at gunpoint standing in front of her conference hotel. A second was shot eating dinner in a nice restaurant when someone's gun fell out of their jacket and accidentally went off.

My colleague went to Tulane and was robbed at gunpoint.

While the history and culture of the city is very interesting and appealing, I was also turned off by how much they emphasize partying/alcohol to tourists (pre pandemic). And like you, I have lived in Baltimore and DC, as well as New York City--so no babe in the woods.

To be fair, I have not been on the Tulane campus, and cannot speak to the crossover between city problems and campus vibe.  [/quote]
