Tulane has downsized - but that is not necessarily a bad thing. S is a senior and finds the school to be comparable to before Katrina - with much better facilities (every building was renovated and the new student center is now open as well). New incoming freshman are more committed to the school and to the city and have created a positive culture. A smaller school is also a benefit - I think a school of 5000 undergrads is an ideal size. All the varsity sports that were cut last year are being phased back in. I think the push to get applicants will ease off in a few years as the word gets out. My next son has been admitted into the class of 2011 and it’s very high on his list.
