Is Tulane a party school?

I find the “party school” thing to be so tired. Tulane is and always will be in a “party city”, but it’s also a large, diverse, culturally significant city and decent sized-school with tons of other things going on. I’d rather that then be in some place in the middle of nowhere when all there is to do are parties involving a keg and red solo cups, no matter what any “rankings” say.

I went to an elite Ivy in a much more innocent time and I couldn’t believe the amount of binge-drinking and drug-using that I encountered. It’s many, many years later and I can still smell the vomit. Kids were hospitalized or asked to take a break from school pretty regularly. But there wasn’t social media or CC so nobody knew about much of it who wasn’t there in person. Stupid young adults on their own will do stupid young adult things wherever they are.

And why anyone would bother with a CC forum for a school their child neither attends nor is currently considering is far beyond me.
