<p>Scorpio - I have no problem at all with Zaichev (not Zach, your “he” is a she) having another opinion, or even a negative opinion. What I was trying to point out as constructive criticism is that her posts are extremely negative with somewhat hyperbolic language
</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but it seems to me if we have all these spoiled rich kids she talks about attending Tulane, there is no way they would put up with those living conditions. At the least, conditions as bad as those would lead to a lot of complaints to parents that pay the bills, and there is ample evidence that most of them are not shy about making sure Tulane would do something about it.</p>
<p>But my main point is that she then says
OK, so if that is the case then I assume she would want other people to want to have a similar experience. I am trying to get her to see that presenting nothing but very negative comments with no balancing positives could make students not even consider Tulane, and I am assuming (sorry, I have to make these assumptions) she doesn’t want that. I know if I were a student researching Tulane, those and the other statements she made would make me cross it off the list.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with being honest, but let’s remember the forum. After all, why did she post those comments on CC? Did she really think it was the place to get things fixed? No, she wanted to let people know what she thought of these aspects of Tulane, yet she loves the place and is dedicated to staying. But this site is largely a place where people research universities, so yes, I do have a problem when Tulane is presented in such an unrelentingly unflattering light with no positives by someone that then says they are very happy there. I think the inflammatory language and one-sided portrayal are not remotely representative of the total reality of the Tulane environment.</p>
<p>If it really is as bad as she says in Warren, she ought to get parents and kids to protest in large numbers for better cleaning and other improvements, and if she really thinks it is unsafe she ought to contact the building inspectors and make her concerns known. If they don’t respond to her satisfaction, well that is what newspapers are for.</p>
