So last week we had that big event we were anticipating--our first Honors Weekend. We catered Nacho Mama's food, we handed out t shirts, and we had big inflatable things on which people played. Overall it was a huge sucess.
One thing I was impressed with was how informed the students seemed about Tulane. Though many of them hadn't heard from other schools, they certainly had their facts right about Tulane. Anything they didn't know they weren't at all shy to ask. Though they did tell us they were waiting to hear from those other schools, they also mentioned how excited they were that Tulane had already accepted them.
So this goes out to all of the freshmen out there right now still trying to make up your minds. We have many other days during which you can come visit Tulane. Like your fellow future classmates, you should come get a sense of it yourself. I think most of the students at Honors Weekend were happy with what they saw. It was a gorgeous New Orleans spring day and absolutely perfect for touring the campus and getting the essence of Tulane.
As a freshman, the fact that I was already accepted by Tulane in October, a scholarschip recipient by December, and visiting by March really weighed heavily in my decision to come here. Tulane made it seem like they really wanted me, pursued me (even in high school when I received pamphlets and admissions brochures), and would go to the end of the world to get me as a student. The individual attention during my admissions process struck a chord in my heart when I realized how much the faculty, staff, administration, and students cared about getting another good student for their university. I assure you, no other university will treat you the same.
So come out and check it out-- here are some pics so you can see the fun we had!
