Worst of Tulane University

Alcohol and Weed

Tulane is in New Orleans, so there is a lot of alcohol. I have also noticed a lot of pot use, but I would say alcohol is much more prominent. Still, it isn't all that difficult to avoid it if you wish; there are definitely opportunities to go out and socialize without having to drink.

Safety on Campus

I feel safe generally safe on campus. I would feel unsafe if I were walk alone off campus at night. However, this is to be expected at any university in an urban setting.

Cafeteria Is Not for Vegetarians.

Last year they had a platform in the cafeteria designated for vegetarian food. This year, though they still advertise it on their website, they have completely gotten rid of this as an option, making it extremely difficult to find a decent meal other than salad. They have many other stations that are able to cook you food sans meat, but the workers don't seem to understand that most vegetarians don't what their food to be cooked in a pan that hasn't been washed out since having meat in it. The managers claim that there is a vegetarian skillet at every single station, but the workers who cook the food don't seem to know what or where that is. Freshman are required to have a dining meal that costs around $2300 a semester. This is much higher than it would ever cost to cook my own well-balance meals.
