To whoever asked about being a non-drinker/places to hang out: I went to Loyola, TU's next door neighbor. NOLA *is an alcohol friendly city, but you can enjoy lots of activities without it. You may have to put yourself out there to meet new people in the beginning, and ask yourself about your level of comfort around alcohol being around you/temptation to drink. For example, I had lots of friends who didn't drink that were still went to house parties, still went to festivals around town, or still played video games or ultimate frisbee [with drinkers] regularly. You will find your niche. And as I mentioned, Loyola is next door, Xavier University (an HBCU) is about 2 miles away, and a few other schools are very close to get to if you have a car where you can socialize. There are a ton of bars within walking distance of campus though. I also want to add I didn't drink my first year of college, and many of the friends I met in 2011 are still my friends today.

Thank you for these videos! I’m thinking of transferring to Tulane and was wondering if you could still apply for those scholarships. Also, it would be so helpful if you made a video of what it’s like to transfer to Tulane.
Unfortunately, you cannot apply to the same scholarships that I was referring to, but their are some partial merit scholarships offered to transfer students that you can see here: admission.tulane.edu/transfer/aid I cannot speak from experience regarding transferring to Tulane; however, I do have a few friends who were transfer students. To be honest, it may be difficult to find your place at Tulane - it is very critical that you get out of your comfort zone and join student organizations right away to meet new people - and be patient. With that being said, most of the friends you see in my videos I did not meet until my second year at Tulane. Friends groups have formed, but as long as you put in the effort you should do fine!
Hi Alex! This is Krystal from Florida! I've been watching your videos and absolutely love all of the info you're sharing. Thank you so much for doing them!
Dude I feel this about the lacking in diversity with Asian populations!! I graduated from Mississippi State and I kid you not I was probably 1 of 20 Asians in my class of 1,500. That was the one thing I noticed was a significant issues and I honestly felt like I was contributing to change, but also feeling excluded. But I can definitely relate to that
i mean there aren't a ton of asians in Mississippi to begin with. No offense but what kind of person regardless of race would want to move to Mississippi or go to college there it's in the middle of no where. That's like moving to Idaho voluntarily. The diversity isn't there bc most asians don't want anything to do with that area
Ashley Cha I completely agree. The reason people choose to go to MsState is because of their programs. It’s honestly a great school with great athletics. But when the school promotes it is the most diverse university in the state and there really isn’t that much diversity, then that’s where the rubber isn’t meeting the road if you know what I mean. It’s a great school, I just wish they did more outreach amongst diverse communities
Ashley Cha and on top of that, there is a group of Asians who have a presence in the state near the delta from immigration, but the newer generation is unaware of it unfortunately
@@crawfordandrea10my asian parents along with many others number one concern is the prestige of the college, cost and how far it is from home. Plus asians have an ambigious relationship with colleges mentioning diversity since it might be referring to AA which means "less asians" typically in more prestigious colleges.
Ashley Cha yeah I agree, because I come from an Asian background. That’s why I chose MsState, because it has a prestigious program for what they specialize, they’re have been ranked top 1 and 2 in athletics, and it was away from home. Idk where you’re from, but in the south the culture is huge into sports, so that’s another reason why people choose a bigger university like an SEC school. It’s just other SEC schools have a larger diverse population, so it would be nice if MsState had a larger diverse student body
Residential Learning Community (RLC) (housing.tulane.edu/residential-learning-communities) - it's sort of a way to get more involved within your community. Not everyone takes advantage of the events, but the ones who do will make more out of their dorm experience!
Thanks for the video! it was very informative but I do have a few questions. What do you know about the Art Studio (MFA)? How does it compare to other graduate programs? Are graduate students allowed to live in the dorms or do they have to seek off-campus accomodations? Thanks!
Hey! Unfortunately, I am very unfamiliar with any art (especially graduate) programs at Tulane. This link is the best I could find: liberalarts.tulane.edu/departments/art/academics/graduate/studio-art Most graduate students live off campus. There are a few who are RAs though..
You're required to major in cell and molecular biology - it's the most straightforward path to med school. Also, you have to apply by May 15th before your freshman year starts - essentially as soon as you commit to Tulane
i thought i had found something on tulane's website about a medical humanities program for undergraduates but i can't find anything about it - is it a real thing? it seemed really interesting and would be something to write about in a why tulane essay, but i'm not sure if it exists lol. do you know anyone who is in it?
So the medical humanities program that you're talking about is only for the school of medicine. It's not really for undergrads. I suggest not writing about it...
Unfortunately, they are not Tulane tuition-related scholarships. Rather, they are nationally competitive scholarships, such as Fulbright, Rhodes, Marshall, etc. More information can be found at the link: honors.tulane.edu/content/list-scholarshipsfellowships
Hey, Jill! Wow, a little late to responding to this question - I'm not entirely sure but one of my friends is Pre-Dental. I can connect you with him and he can share his experiences!

I’m only in freshman year, but I really hope I get in Tulane in the future 🥺
Work hard and it'll pay off!
What is an RLC? Great video!!

Good stuff man 👌🏾
Hi! Are you required to be a specific major for the TAP-TP program? Also, do you apply by May 15th of your freshman or sophomore year?
You're required to major in cell and molecular biology - it's the most straightforward path to med school. Also, you have to apply by May 15th before your freshman year starts - essentially as soon as you commit to Tulane
does tulane allow keurigs in the dorms?? thanks!
Yep!
How rigorous would you say the academics are at Tulane, especially for a pre-med student?
It is a top 50 school, so it's not easy... For pre-med, it can be tough at times, but definitely doable!
@alexsuh how much of your tuition is covered in tulane thinking about coming
Got 100% covered - but that's bc I applied to every scholarship possible
Is Tulane open right now April 2021. When is graduation day for 2021
Yep, it’s open rn with decreased restrictions. Commencement will be on May 22nd!
I made it into the video !!:)
oop
do u have to be a certain race to be in certain clubs???
NOPE!! students of all backgrounds are welcome!
i thought i had found something on tulane's website about a medical humanities program for undergraduates but i can't find anything about it - is it a real thing? it seemed really interesting and would be something to write about in a why tulane essay, but i'm not sure if it exists lol. do you know anyone who is in it?
So the medical humanities program that you're talking about is only for the school of medicine. It's not really for undergrads. I suggest not writing about it...
Alex Suh ah okay thanks, I had seen that
So students in the Honors Program can get additional scholarships later on too?
Unfortunately, they are not Tulane tuition-related scholarships. Rather, they are nationally competitive scholarships, such as Fulbright, Rhodes, Marshall, etc. More information can be found at the link: honors.tulane.edu/content/list-scholarshipsfellowships
is tulane a good pre-dental school?
Hey, Jill! Wow, a little late to responding to this question - I'm not entirely sure but one of my friends is Pre-Dental. I can connect you with him and he can share his experiences!
are there any international students :/
many, many!
Is this another April fools joke?
Watching this even though I know I’m gonna get rejected 💀
❤
