Diversity at Tulane

Ethnic minority groups tend to band together (self segregate seems to be the modern term for it) at all universities. This is a common issue, but also a self imposed one. If your D wants to be a part of any group or relationship without regard to ethnicity, that will not be a problem at Tulane (or most other campuses for that matter). The vast majority of students these days seem fairly uncaring as to whether a person is white, black, polka-dotted, gay or straight, etc. They just like interesting, friendly people.

I have read where Tulane instituted resources not just for international students but for all students to help them deal with being away from home. Many students at Tulane are 1000-2000 miles from home, if not farther, and the issues are mostly similar to what an international student might experience, but of course other issues are likely to be a bit more unique. They do have specific resources for international students though.

The Center for International Students and Scholars provides immigration information, housing assistance, cross-cultural programs, counseling and advising.
