150 Tulane students registered at Boston University

<p>Tulane Students Find Shelter In Boston</p>

<p>More than 300 Massachusetts students were enrolled in Louisiana schools. The University of Massachusetts system is offering admission, as is Babson College, Simmons College, and Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire.</p>

<p>NewsCenter 5’s Amalia Barreda reported that Tufts University will offer visiting status. Boston University is working on a plan and Harvard is considering its options. As for housing, some will live at home, while others may find ways to cram into the dorms, still others are being helped by local landlords. Two students found a welcome mat at Steven’s apartments in Brighton.</p>

<p>Students Charlie Greenwald and Josh Singer were supposed to start school at Tulane University this fall. They plan to go to Boston University instead. The school has registered about 150 students who were supposed to attend Tulane.</p>

<p>“We don’t really have anything except for what we were wearing,” Greenwald said.</p>

<p>“None of us had Internet set up or TV or anything, and we didn’t know how bad it was going to be,” Singer said. “We’ve had to evacuate every year since I’ve been at Tulane.”</p>

<p>“This is really the first good news we’ve had in two weeks,” Greenwald said.</p>

<p>EDIT: Harvard is already offering places to students displaced by Katrina and is considering doing more as per message sent yesterday to alumni.</p>
