That’ fair - we were there in 2019. Football day. We visited LSU the previous day and my daughter and I loved it. Didn’t apply (Hillel director doubted the # of Jewish students Hillel said they have) but she loved LSU. Tulane -she loved the French Quarter - all the activity - but the dorms - one I remember thinking was like a Super 8. Had outdoor entrances to the room and she was taken aback, I believe in part because it’s such a wealthy school so she expected pristine. While she loved the city itself which in the French quarter isn’t the nicest but has so much character and other not so nice things - she wasn’t a fan of the campus. Interestingly, she loves her campus (Charleston) which I think is dumpy - I mean, her dorm should have been condemned and it’s being renovated now - but I suppose the cities have some similarity.
But you are right - I’m speaking four year ago. But again, the school has such high satisfaction from those who go and I have a friend’s daughter there who stayed for grad school she loved it so much. And from those few I know who have sent kids - nothing but fantastic experiences.
So I’m sure they do college right!!
