Tulane Law students?
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 12:31 pm
Any Tulane students or alum care to answer questions?
Here's one question: I've read some stories about certain incidents that Tulane law students have been involved in. Apparently there was a ball that got way out of control?
--LinkRemoved--
Also read about students being involved in some incident where they dressed up like Mexicans in an insensitive way. Ouch.

Are these kinds of incidents the exception or the rule at Tulane? I don't mean to smear an entire student body b/c of the stupid actions of a few, but still ...
How would you define the culture among most of the students at Tulane? Is it an isolated, clicky, party culture? Is there a tension between white students and students of color?
Main reason why I'm asking is b/c I'm concerned about the rep of the school among peers and legal professionals, and the climate there. I don't want people to look at a JD that says Tulane, and think, he was drunk half of his education. Plus I don't want to go to a school where I'm welcomed in on account of merit and diversity, but not really welcome as part of the law school community once they've "got me." Make sense?
