<p>Well for one it is arguably in the world’s coolest city. It’s a beautiful campus, too. Students are academically inclined but not cutthroat. Tulane is what you make of it. If you want to put in a modest effort, party and have a good time, and have a respectable degree that will get you a job, it will do that for you. If you want, rather, an academically rigorous experience in preparation for top law schools, or PhD programs, or whatever, it will do that for you, too.</p>
<p>One important note is that Tulane and New Orleans at large have a very close relationship . . . there’s really no question here but that Tulanians are real New Orleanians . . . so getting to know the city and the community is a big part of life here, which has been stressed more and more in recent years, which I think is a good thing.</p>
