Rather depressing review of Tulane, clarify?

OK, I will assume by looking at your other posts that you are serious. And you seem intelligent, which makes it more surprising that you would post that. I mean if you have questions, fine, but that isn’t the way to go about it. First of all, everyone on that site is anonymous, and the pics mean nothing. I saw pics of babies and cartoon drawings, and the teenagers could be anyone. Second, I saw a ton of positive reviews on there. Why pick the worst one? Third, since there are no controls on a site like that, how do you know that person even went to Tulane? As we have seen on CC many times, there are people that flame for all sorts of reasons. Maybe they got turned down by Tulane. Maybe they got kicked out. Maybe they flunked out. Maybe they just are a bit “off” and think it is funny to post things like that on sites like that.

Of course there are things about Tulane that are not perfect, or even good perhaps. But that review is absurd. The odds of it being from an actual Tulane student are pretty small. “A sinister edge to the partying”??? That is a hysterically bad line. Wait until you are in college, you will see how bizarre that line is. Also funny is that they say it is so horrible, yet they enjoyed it so much.

There are numerous factual errors a real Tulane student would have known better. The engineering program was not canceled outright, it was reduced to Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. They got rid of civil, mechanical and electrical. Kept 2, got rid of 3. The lines about feminism and date-rape awareness are equally ridiculous, Tulane has been strong in those areas for some time. I won’t waste time refuting every point, I just find it disappointing you could read this and think it has any credibility, it is so clearly over the top. It is also distressing you focused on this one when there were so many on that same site that said exactly the opposite.
