<p>Fallen -Thanks for the response. He visited American a long, long time ago, unfortunately their honors weekend is not until mid-April, but he feels he needs to go back to refresh his mind. All I can say is wow, wow about Tulane. I had never seen the school until this weekend. Every kid there was happy, friendly, helpful, well spoken but most of all such a big fan of the school. We felt a great sense of community. Perhaps you are correct about what an undergrad experience should be like… I just don’t want to squash his love of activism, political speakers, political discussion, which that DC experience may possibly provide more (?) of… though I don’t doubt for a minute he would be intellectually stimulated and challenged and have a fabulous undergrad experience at Tulane…And oh those Azaleas!! Thanks for the advice.</p>
