Most college students work, and that's both good and bad

The vast majority of college students today work, but their motivations and experiences vary widely based on demographics.

No fixation on Tulane here — simply helping to discuss factors to be considered for this decision. Its possible the financial gap could be bridged, but there are pros and cons to that. I would also point out again that OP and parents could consider going back to Tulane if this is the top choice, ask for more $ and say they will commit if the numbers make sense.
