What is with Tulane?

I went with my son on a visit to Tulane. He has been accepted there with a partial (about half tuition) merit scholarship. The figure we were told was 90% of students who left due to Katrina closing returned afterwards. The school was deservedly proud of that figure.

I thought the campus was very impressive and looked beautiful. Son has not made his final decision, but we receive mailings from Tulane on a weekly basis. I think they just do have a very agressive marketing campaign for good students.

We received the same kind of full tilt aggresive approach from UVM, which he never really considered going to. And from our our state best public college, SUNY Geneseo. They even sent him a t-shirt, for heavens sake, and he hasnt even heard about admission yet.
