@htyt3bre My daughter is a freshman there and she has found a nice friend group --they all are serious about academics, and while they like to go to have fun on weekends —like most freshman do, they do not get “drunk and high.” My daughter is in the honors program and has found the academics rigorous. Students who don’t take academics serious and put in the required studying effort will do poorly. There will always be some students at every school that party too much, you just need to actively seek out friends with similar values and interests. There will be plenty of opportunities to do so --as well as an ample number of students. Tulane has increased dorm space to accommodate the larger freshman classes the past few years due to skyrocketing applications (35,622 applications last year) and enrollment. Tulane admit rate last year was 21%, the current freshman class has 1897 students and the trend will likely continue.
