What impressed you positively?

How the environment of the school was so laid back yet the students did well in their classes and really enjoyed interacting with each other. I also really liked how there was so much diversity in the student body because all the students were from different states across the nation. Also, the student host that let me stay at her place was absolutely amazing, so sincere and friendly in addition to all the other students I'd met that day.

What impressed you negatively?

My reservation with the student housing got a little messed up because they accidentally put me in a room that someone was already using. Fortunately, the person had already checked out by the time I stayed there. Hehe, people recommend me to live uptown and not in Deming and I can see why, the rooms resemble a motel too much ... kinda depressing for a student to live in for the next 4 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

New Orleans is a pretty rundown city but from what I've heard from students, once you know where the dangerous high crime areas are and avoid them, it's one of the funnest cities to be living in. There's so much do there and the city is just bursting of culture and liveliness. The atmosphere of the school and students just makes you fall in love with everything about Tulane. Also, my third interview was with a first year med student during lunch and was very casual though it felt kind of challenging to pick up my food, eat it, and interview at the same time.
