Tulane University of Louisiana Top Questions

The only stereotype I can think of for Tulane is "Jewlane," due to the high number of Jewish people that attend. I don't think that's exactly accurate though. While, yes, a number of students at Tulane are Jewish (there are two Jewish centers for Tulane), there are many other types of people present.

Most, if not all, students are Tulane are academically smart so yes that one is correct! Also while a good many students do go out and party most of the time, there is a large percentage of the student body that do not all the time, which makes that one incorrect!

wealthy. jewish. non-local. often-partying. white. Difficult to find a kid who doesn't fit at least three of those descriptions. you can pick a tulane kid out of a crowd in two seconds in new orleans.

People think that this a party school with tons of jews at it...It is. The best I can argue is that there is much more than to see. You just might need to do quite a bit of digging.

To an extent this is definitely true. The school is at least 50 percent Jewish and Greek Life is definitely very apparent. Students definitely work hard--but it seems as though they are mostly working hard to get the grade rather than actually caring about what they are studying. That said, there are definitely people who don't fit the stereotype but it's hard to find people between the two extremes of complete fratstar and total bookworm.

Tulane students definitely party and drink a lot, but wew also work hard academically. While there are a lot of Jewish people at Tulane...that's not every body. Tulane gives out a lot of scholarships so not everyone is rich.

No. The post-Katrina Tulane student body has changed dramatically. This is a school for the socially-conscious individual who is interested in contributing to the community through any number of initiatives. There is, however, some truth to the stereotype that Tulane students make some of the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the campus miserable. Then again, the school has been there since 1847 and I'm sure the residents of these neighborhoods had notice.

Not entirely. While many well-off students do attend Tulane, many of them enjoy the city and its inhabitants and are happy to make a difference whenever possible.

I would say yes. There are a lot of kids from New England who have plenty of money, and there are a lot of Southerners here on scholarship. And yes, most of Tulane likes a good night out. However, at Tulane you can find students from all backgrounds and walks of life, with a wide variety of intrests.

The stereotypes are fairly accurate for the most part. The drinking stereotype is accurate for all universities, so i don't really know if it's really a Tulane stereotype, but rather a college stereotype.
