northwesty - I agree. I wonder why, knowing that Monroe, Sharp, etc would not have AC or even basic power they don’t advise alternate plans. I know they had enough pull with Entergy to get the power back to campus before much of the surrounding area. My D, in a house essentially right across the street from campus, didn’t get power back until about 24 hours later than Tulane. Still, given the heat and humidity this time of year…

In the end the kids came through it fine, many made new friends quickly and I loved hearing about those that learned new skills, such as how to play poker. Now that it is over and they are all safe, it is a story they will tell all their lives. Overall I would give Tulane a B+. I think there are still some communication issues and on the ground issues that could have been a bit better, keeping them from an A. I hope they can handle in-room water damage (Butler seems to have been hit hard this way) quickly and completely.
