There are athletics at Tulane? Jk The football team is an embarrassment but hopefully that will be turning around with the new coach and new stadium that they are wasting way too much money on. Surprisingly, Matt Forte actually played at Tulane so we must have been good at one time. The boys basketball team is halfway descent but they're not going to be in the playoffs anytime soon. Baseball is supposed to be pretty good, actually. I think we've had a few players go pro, but no one famous I don't think. A few people go to the basketball/baseball games because they're on campus but football is in the Superdome so people only go to Homecoming and their first game freshman year... to see the Superdome.

It Doesn't Get Better Than NOLA
Seriously. We go to school in the middle of New Orleans. The only nights that don't have out of this world drink specials are Sunday and Monday. A lot of people stay uptown near campus, especially first semester, because its way easier to go to the on-campus bars/frat parties and it's all Tulane/Loyola students, but downtown is always a solid option. We are super-spoiled in that we live in on of the culture capitals of America. There are tons of bars/nightclubs that are 18+ or don't care about the drinking age (just not on Bourbon). Most people are surprised to go home Freshman year and find out that their friends don't spend their Tuesday nights drinking 50 cent shots. If you are 18, you will have zero trouble getting alcohol here. If you are "21", it's laughable how easy it is.

Public Health
Most majors at Tulane are really comprehensive, respected programs that are (mostly) manageable. Obviously, majors like chem or engineering are going to be intense, but that's pretty standard at any top school. The school of Public Health is well-known and a very good program. It has a 4+1 Master's program and a grad school in addition to the undergrad.
