You know we will say Tulane is better. AND IT IS! Do you really want to live in that backwater where W&L is? You want to be told to go to Tulane. I enjoyed my visit to Tulane and I love New Orleans. Maybe you should visit both schools.hahaha you are so correct i am laughing out loud. convince meeeee not to be a rankings whore!There are some schools where the rankings difference would be real and choosing Tulane at equal money would be a pretty dumb move. Duke, for example. Cornell. Maybe Texas or Vanderbilt. Washington and Lee is clearly not one of those schools--and so, your choice is actually pretty easy. Tsk tsk. C'mon Monet, listen to the little angel on your shoulder, not the little devil . . . Angel: "You know it will be easier to concentrate on your studies at W&L, it's simply the right thing to do - you're going to law school to learn, aren't you? And don't listen to Halfie, he's a notoriously irrational W&L hater."Devil: "C'mon, all work and no play only makes for a dull Monet! Live a little! You can drink on the sidewalk here! Have you ever ordered a strawberry daiquiri TO GO?!?! Best feeling EVER!"Just something to think about. And before you all jump on me, my sister went to Tulane and loved it, so I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I'm just sick of everyone falling back on the one thing they know about W&L, that it's in a small town. I will be there and fun will be had, although most likely none that will compete with NoLa on the debauchery scale. Good luck to ya . . .

anyhow, one of the main reasons I chose tulane was because i thought it would be the place where i was the happiest. it was not the highest ranked school i got into, but i truly think that i am going to pursue an equally prestigious career path as i would going to any of the other schools i considered becomes i'm motivated to do so, i'll be involved in great work at tulane, and i'm coming from a nationally recognized school. plus I AM GOING TO HAVE FUN DOING IT!!!!!!
