Tulane University
New Orleans, LA
A private research university in New Orleans known for a strong pre-med track, a well-regarded business school (Freeman), and a required public service component built into nearly every undergraduate's degree, reflecting the school's post-Katrina rebuilding of its identity around civic engagement. New Orleans itself — Mardi Gras, music, food — is a huge part of the social experience, alongside a large Greek scene and American Athletic Conference sports.
