<p>Fallenchemist, you like to assume a lot. I’m actually very happy at Tulane and don’t need to “see a counselor”. My perfect GPA and community/student involvement reflect how well I adjusted to this school, and I wouldn’t transfer for the world. I do, however, have a problem with being charged (forced to live on campus, at that) around $6,000 a year to live in filth and noise pollution. It’s not complaining, it’s standing up for what is right. If this wasn’t a university, there’s no way people would put up with this. I was raised in a home that considered a cockroach on the same level as a rat, and I’d prefer not to see them squished in the middle of the halls and left, or crawling in my bed at night. (Which, yes, has happened.) And I don’t want things in my room shaking for ten hours a day. I’m pretty sure this want is universal, so I thought I’d post something here.</p>
<p>Concerning my other posts, I stick to my belief the city of New Orleans is a ruder city than I am used to (which is backed up by another poster) and that some Tulane kids are highly obnoxious (which you yourself claim is the case for any college.) The difference is this city has rich-poor dynamics, and not everyone appreciates rich kids flying into a poor city and attending a school they can’t afford to send their kids to. I was trying to explain that. </p>
<p>It always amazes me how some people can misinterpret being honest or standing up for what’s right as “complaining” or a sign one is just generally unhappy. Obviously we were raised in two different worlds.</p>
