Tulane University Reviews

Type of housing: on campus then 2nd - 4th years off campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? Off campus living is really where it's at, its like a university village around the School's campus are and being that next door to Tulane you have Loyola University, living off campus is truly where the social life is.

Personal comments:
I was put inot a dormatory (on campus) my first year, teh accomodations were average, however the experience of living in a US dorm was amazing. Teh school does offer on campus housing for 2nd 3rd and 4th year students but that's not where the life is. As for otehr accomodations you really can't ask for more, a pool, tennis courts, raquetball courts, a weight room, great computer facilities, etc... the food could be a tad better at the mess halls, mut that goes for all uni's globally i think.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
I'm a born snob, and a party animal, so I liek some of the more distinguished places. I would recoomend DosJeffes on Tchapatoulas, Whiskey Bar, Whiskey Blue, Foundation Room, The Matador, DBA, the Spotted Cat (all downtown), the Colums Hotel on St. Charles Ave. For places around campus there's always Phillips, which boats attractive female bartenders and has a wonderful ambiance, as well as an outside patio when the owner decides to open it. The local watering hole "The Boot" provides Tulane college students with their daily intake of alchohol adn tabacco, as well as a number of other local bars. For the true party animal, I would reccomend Igors (St. Charles & Jackson Ave), Snake n' Jakes (Oak) and Miss May's or known to the new crowd as "The Club" (on Magazine and Napoleon) The last get good at about 4-5 am and are open 24/7. Have fun and be safe.

Course recommendations:
The school is in the top 50 in the USA. I eman come one people, its a keeper.

Language of instruction: English

Main source of funding:
Government assistance

Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings

Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits:
Food and going out is considerably more expensive in Denmark than in New Orleans, thus although I ate out more and went more to bars and clubs In Ner Orleans, I ended up spending less. Housing on the other hand was more expensive than at home, this was due tot he fact that in Denmark I lived in a dorm , while in New Orleans I rented a whole house with just one person to share it with. Obviously I did more travelling when on exchange, thus spent more money on it.

Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.

Telephone: was the same price as at home.

Food, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.

I wish I had known...
I had no problem at all

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
