TULANE LAW SCHOOL THREAD

[Hedley Lamarr]

Not working but visiting to look for housing.  What type of job did you get?  My last day of real work is tomorrow, but I am thinking about getting a bartending job to tide me over.

can't decide btw. getting a normal job (like waitressing) or just adding my summer expenses to my loan "tab" and taking a volunteer position with an organization doing katrina recovery work. leaning towards the second. . .

You could be a roofer and take care of both.

hey guys & gals.

so this isn't the biggest deal, in fact it may seem downright trivial or materialistic to some of you.  but for those of you that are living in new orleans now (or have down so in the past)...how comfortable are you with your "possessions" in NOLA (and in the housing available to law students)? 

i'm not overly concerned with another storm of Katrina's magnitude causing an incredible amount of damage to NOLA again.  but before i pack up and move my life from Boston, i'm just wondering what i should take.  is the typical storm season rather harsh?  is the area around Tulane rather safe?  are the homes for rent in decent condition?

just wondering because i have some rather valuable stuff and will be moving from, well, boston...so i'm debating whether i should rent storage space somewhere, leave irreplacable things with family, etc.  any insight would be, as always, most appreciated.

hmm.

Miss Mae's serves $1.00 drinks and is open 24 hours a day; could be the answer to people's rent/alcohol issues.  or, well, could become the cause of said issues.

[JamesD]

But its probably the worst bottom-shelf alcohol ever.  God, I would have such a horrible hangover... because its so cheap... and I can drink like a tank.

[Bow Tied Up]

true; when i was there i quickly upgraded to the $3.00 grey goose.  but still.  coming from Boston, i was rather impressed.

and since it's open 24 hours a day...people could always just live there.

So glad someone brought up miss mae's, a second home =-) and yes you can get call brands for basically nothing, too.

Received my official acceptance notification from Tulane today.

Dean's Scholarship: $20k for maintaining 3.0.

I have to ante a $300.00 initial seat deposit by second week of May to keep a hand in, and an additional $700.00 by beginning of June.

I never thought I'd get into a school of Tulane's stature. Truth is, I never thought I'd get in to Hofstra since I didn't finish college.

I'll mull my decision later. Right now I'm going to celebrate with a po' boy.
