A) it's in the South and for as cool as the school might be something tells me it's crawling with conservatives
I'm not sure what gave you that impression, but it's not true. You should've seen Tulane & Loyola right before the war. The city itself is pretty politically mixed, except in the suburbs, which you'll never go to anyway. I'll put it this way - I'm uber-liberal, and I've had a fantastic time living here for the past 10 years.
B)i went to wash u and felt that i lived in a bubble...tulane seems very similar...
I think that depends mostly on the person. I felt like that in San Francisco, but never have here. Other people I know feel like that here, but adore S.F.
C)ive spoken to tons of people that go there and they always describe it as "relaxed" "fun" a place where you can have fun and party...unfortunately, to me that translates into Tulane being an easier and less competitive place...which is bad especially considering it's located in New Orleans , far away from the big cities where legal jobs are difficult to get...
This part we agree on. It can be hard for people to adjust to New Orleans, especially if they like to party. If you don't have that under control when you get here, you'll be in trouble. Does that translate into poor job placement, though? Their employment stats look pretty decent and they place very well in NYC (if you can stand a few years of New York...blech). I haven't looked into their job placement as much as they other schools I'm considering since they're already
in the city I'd really like to work in, but I've heard anecdotes and seen stats indicating they do pretty well in New England and Texas.
