U.S. News and World Report ranked Tulane University 51st in the National Universities category in last week’s Best Colleges of 2011 report.
Tulane administrators said that Hurricane Katrina’s effects on Tulane skewed the six-year graduation rate ranking, lowering the school’s potentially higher rank.

One of the first things I did when I started looking into colleges was check out the U.S. News college rankings. I compared all the colleges I was considering and even sent applications to random colleges just because they were close to the rankings of my favorite schools.

When it came time to decide which school […]



Game-By-Game Football Preview

By John Scimeca | Aug 27th, 2010 | Category: August 27th Print edition, Featured Articles, Issues, Sports

Sept. 2 vs. Southeastern Louisiana
The season opener is much kinder than last year’s opening games against Tulsa and Brigham Young, so expect the Green Wave to open the game aggressively against their only FCS (formerly Division I-AA) opponent of the year. Anything short of a multiple-touchdown victory would be a lackluster, if not disappointing, start for Tulane.

To eat, or not to eat

By Jonathan Estuart | Aug 20th, 2010 | Category: August 20th Print Edition, Featured Articles, Issues, Views

It’s that time of year again. Parents invade our humble homes, help us get our dorms the cleanest they will probably ever be, constantly fret over our safety and well-being and — perhaps most importantly — fund our indulgences into New Orleans’ supreme cuisine. The New Orleans restaurant-to-parental-love barometer (Commander’s being the paragon of pure […]

Different Notes For Different Folks
POP: Hosting Jay-Z to Dave Matthews, “mainstream” festivals get their reputations because they bring in these big acts and the normal people who like them.

I am a World of Warcraft addict, just one of the 11.5 million subscribers whose definition of “getting to the grind” is going to fulfill a quest rather than going to work.

The football team’s training session concludes Saturday with a spring scrimmage. The Hullabaloo gets Toledo’s take on Griffin, Moore and more.
