people are NOT questioning whether tulane will make it back. Tulane is there, it's opening, it's ready. As for new orleans, the areas that most likely won't 'make it back' are areas that you would never ever ever ever want to set foot in as a student, unless you want to get beat up by some cops or have your shoes stolen or something.

yeah, im not worried. it is the oldest city in the united states, I think it can deal with some flooding and broken windows in the long run.

[maka nani]

many cities are older.  jsia

[shae]

I'm tempted to say Baylor.

[benheely]

i believe the oldest city is st. augustine.

NOLA's got to be the oldest city outside the Northeast.

Actually, Detroit, Savannah and Santa Fe are all older. Don't know if you can go to law school in Savannah or Santa Fe though.

[Steve Butabi]

ok, that may be true, but new orleans is about 300 years old. I dont think a hurricane is going to obliterate it.

well - he didn't say oldest city with a LS...I don't think.

anyway it is really St. Augestine...oldest continually settled city...but...really...it is not a city as i think of a city.

NOLA will be fine. The Ninth Ward is gone, but it needed a good rinsing, anyhow. Utilities are coming back. The part of town where Tulane is, Uptown, is on higher ground and didn't suffer too much from the flooding. Residents are returning to the suburban areas. New Orlean is still an important location from a commerce standpoint; hurricanes are the cost of living there.

Tulane has kept most of their faculty, and they're not allowing their students to transfer. The school's going to be fine, as is the city.

perhaps, but surely their applicants will be much different.  this could easily drop and the school's rep could fall.
