[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tulane has more name recognition nationally, is in a much more interesting city, and is more diverse. [/quote]

Cite that Tulane has more name registration?[/quote]

It has name recognition as a party school. [/quote]

This. This was evident during our admitted student day visit, esp. from the parent panel. [/quote]

Can you elaborate on what you learned at parent panel (parent of junior who has Tulane high on his list)[/quote]

Some things said (5 parent panel)- this is a sampling:

- I went to Tulane and my kid now understands the work hard, party harder motto. Had a kid said this, it wouldn’t be a big deal to me, but for a parent who had been there to say it, it bothered me.

- I came to visit my kid for a planned weekend trip, I saw him very briefly when I dropped off some food for the group — because he was out partying all weekend.

- our friends and family all have kids who say that they went to school to learn but are jealous that our kids when to school to have fun.

It was evident these parents love Tulane. Two of them were alumni, but this overall party school mentality concerned me. The parents on either side of me said they were concerned, too. I’ll add that when we toured Georgetown, there were tons of beer bottles and liquor bottles and party like trash littered everywhere. That was also concerning.[/quote]
