I'm an agribusiness senior at LSU now, and Im not really happy here. I was thinking about going to Tulane as an exchange student for a semester. My GPA is pretty bad, but might as well give it a shot. I probably shouldve gone to a smaller college out of high school like Oberlin or Sarah Lawrence.

What is the experience/ vibe at Tulane like? What are the people like?
Is it fun? Sports? Im sure NOLA is way more fun then BR.

If you can't make it here at LSU, you don't stand a snowballs chance in hell at Tulane.

If your family can afford to send you there then give it a shot. Smaller classes may be what you need.

Loyola and UNO could be other affordable choices.

Going out around Tulane and Loyola is 10000x's better than going out around LSU.

If you aren't doing well in college and your first concern is how fun the city is then save your Daddy some money and quit now.

I paid for my school and that question was WAY down on my list.

Go be a bartender.

If your GPA sucks at LSU, what do you think it would be at Tulane or Sarah Lawrence?

Why do you think Tulane will accept you, especially if your grades at LSU are sub par?

This. They aren't only going to look at your ACT score like they may have coming out of high school.

I'm sure Tulane will ignore your shitty grades at a lesser, public institution and defer to your desire for a smaller campus and class size.

Good luck and Roll Wave!
