Tulane is unique in at least two ways.
First, it is in New Orleans which is the most unique city in America. Love it or hate, no other city is like NOLA. Plus, New Orleans is very much a part of the educational experience of Tulane students.
Second, Tulane is dominated by students who come far away from home (with a huge proportion of students from the Northeast). 75% of Tulane students come more than 500 miles to attend the school. This bucks the pattern of regional dominance at most colleges, even most elites.

Personally, when I think of schools similar to Tulane, I think:

Washington University in St. Louis
Vanderbilt University
Rice University
University of Miami

But given its uniqueness, even those four are a bit of a stretch.

Virginia Tech is nothing like Tulane. Totally different, other than VT students are happy and the alumni love their school too.

Perhaps Northwestern University shares some of the similarities which OP is looking for.
