When did Tulane become a national university?

Yes but being surrounded by people who grew up outside NOLA, from Florida, swamps outside NOLA and other places got you plenty of exposure to southern culture. As a New Yorker, I dated Southern girls for the first time, which was an eye opener to say the least, none from NOLA. You learn culture from people, not buildings.
That said, half the people I met were from NY, Chicago, Boston … So back to the original point, it was a national school at least as far back as the 1980s from first hand experience. But there were plenty of southern born students too. It was distinctly NOT international. I don’t recall meeting ANY international students at all. I transferred up to Boston University and met lots of international students there.
