Hi rcf - For your first question, most students stay at Tulane for fall break, although I imagine those whose homes are within driving distance (i.e. Louisiana, nearby gulf coastal areas, etc.) may choose to go home. Those that have made friends with fellow students from further away often invite them to come along. But the vast majority stay.

For your second question, it is a fun weekend for all, with the game, free food, and a chance to see the campus and city at a time when the weather is often close to perfect, if you haven’t had that experience yet. Many have only seen it when it is hot and humid. Also, it is nice the freshman year because it is the first chance your child has to show you around with the knowledge of things they have learned in their month+ there. But it is homecoming and they traditionally do cater some to us alums. But I am also sure you would have a great time. Frankly, I probably wouldn’t go after the freshman year though. Did that with my son at another school and while it was great to see him of course, it was not really worth the trip otherwise after freshman year.
