I love New Orleans. My daughter went to Tulane and it is a great town. I just couldn’t see myself living there. But visiting was amazing. She had a blast. But, I would have chosen Malibu too.
We moved from Miami to the LA area 10 years ago. We kept our Miami place as most of our family is there. But my husband’s family has a place in Malibu. Our niece is at Pepperdine now and she absolutely loves that lifestyle.

One doesnt even have Football….They are all completely different environments. The only thing they have in common is that they are all expensive Privates in the T50 to T80 range and the avg kid there is wealthy….
Bingo. With all of that said, I would prefer to live in Malibu and be close to LA then in the craziness of Miami or New Orleans.

Yes but this is the same with the “Hispanics”at Pepperdine. It is hard to find a “hispanic”looking kid based on the typical US definition of Hispanics on campus….they are look white. Not too diverse to begin with.

It if funny that between us (we are all between 30 and 45) we have always thought of our Tulane relatives as the ones with the better ranked school/pedigree….then Pepperdine and last Miami. Even our Miami family members thought so….
We were having fun the other day looking at recent rankings and the effect that changes (specifically with USNWR) over the last 2 years have copjmeltely turned around the rankings of these 3…. Miami way ahead of Tulane and then Pepperdine.
2021 - Tulane 42, Pepperdine 49, Miami not top 50
2022 - Tulane 41, Pepperdine 49, Miami not top 50
Jump to 2025: Miami 63, Tulane 63, Pepperdine 80
Wow…Yes I know methodology changed….but that is quite a manufactured change…..
One of these schools is NOTHING like the others
Yes, one is for wealthy Jewish kids, one for wealthy Christian kids and one for wealthy Hispanics…
FIXED
True - but Tulane gives decent merit and financial aid.
wealthy hispanics? the ignorance is so blatant it's almost funny
With 25% Hispanics at Miami, yes. Wealthy Hispanics. My son is at Miami. While I’m american/white, his father is venezuelan/white and he listed being in White, while technically he should be considered Hispanic for US racial purposes….Lots of kids at Miami are in the White category, but with mixed parents and are fluent in Spanish like my son…
