WineDrinker - There are definitely varying degrees of partying, though, and it does affect the atmosphere. I went to 2 schools - one on the “stone cold sober” list (non-religious, just hard core studiers), and one on the “Party School,” “Reefer Madness,” and “Lots of Beer” lists, also highly ranked academically. Both had strong academics, and I learned a lot at each, but they were definitely DIFFERENT. It depends on your personality which is a better fit for you.

I have never been a student at Tulane, nor do I have a kid there. However, I know several people who work there or have worked there. It is indeed a party school. However, it is big enough that you can certainly find friends and groups of people who rarely or never party. What you need to ask yourself is how you feel about living with and being around people who party a lot. This probably doesn’t matter as much in later years when you can move off-campus, but it will affect dorm life. New Orleans is a party city, but there are lots of great things to do without drinking - music, dancing, festivals, etc.
