The Tulane University of Louisiana

Tulane is incredibly overpriced despite the fact that I have a hefty scholarship. The professors (at least in my major/dept, cell and molecular biology) are incredibly condescending to the point of being a**holes. Getting letters of recommendation was like pulling teeth, and I am a pretty involved student both in and out of the classroom. Also, because of the skewed curves here (the curve is set to B, which means that in a class of 30 there will be 3 As, STIFF competition and you definitely feel it in the air, hint most other colleges set the curve to a B as it is helpful to their students when they're trying to apply to graduate school or get a job) *cough* anyway as I was saying, Tulane definitely doesn't do their overcharged students any favors with the screwed up curve. Take my advice, don't go to Tulane, it is not worth the money, and the longer you go here, the more bitter you will become about how long it will take you to pay off all of the debt you owe to the school that you hate so much.

I graduated in 1999 with a BSM in Finance. Overall, I regret attending Tulane. The university's name does not hold weight when looking for a job. The Career Development Center at Tulane is very poor and not helpful.

Tulane is a great place, one of unparalleled sociability and academics. Do not come to Tulane if you cannot handle a life where you go out 6 nights a week, do not go to a life if you cannot handle a life involving alcohol and drugs, do not go to Tulane if you cannot handle loud dorms. The life that Tulane kids live can be envied by celebrities, and if you do not believe you can handle a fastpaced (but also extremely relaxed) extremely social environment, than you need to choose another school.But if you believe yourself to be a socialite and scholar, Tulane is the place for you. Life at Tulane centers around Bars and Fraternities, not one or the other. To have a good time at Tulane, you do need to have money, because like I said, its both a bar and fraternity scene, and if you don't join a fraternity freshman year, it is solely a bar scene. You will have the best time of your life, a truly memorable 4 years with no regrets except the nights you drank to much. There's harvard, yale, and stanford, but none of them compare to tulane.
