Campus Life

Bruff definitely struggles to create good food. Sometimes it can be just plain sloppy. They go through cycles because on some days all of the food will be good, but then the next day you cannot find anything to eat.

Bruff is the only dining hall. It gets old. The quality of the food is sub-par, and there is not much variety. No sophomores eat at Bruff. The LBC (student union) has decent food, but not many options. There is not enough on-campus dining options, and grocery shopping, in addition to board costs becomes quite expensive.

Meh, it could be better. Bruff is way too small for the size of our school, and it gets extremely crowded.

There are multiple places on campus to eat. Each place provides a different feel and style of food. There is always variety so never worry about becoming bored with the food. Also, there are so many restaurants right off campus that are known to be some of the best places in New Orleans.

I really like Bruff! There's a lot of choices! I haven't gotten bored yet! However, it can get a little messy and crowded. Fortunately, Loyola's dining hall (nicknamed Luff) is only a five minute walk away. It's smaller and a lot less crowed. Students also receive money on their splash cards that can be used in the LBC, which has Panda Express, Freshens, Einstein Bros. Bagels, etc.

No matter which part of the globe you are from, you will enjoy diverse cuisines that will make you feel at home anywhere you are on their campuses.

good

The Dining Hall is really nice for the first month or so, but it begins to get really repetitive and boring. Some of the produce is also quite unappealing.

You are in New Orleans, even the cheap restaurants are amazing. Finding the small po'boys shops and hole in the wall eateries are the most fun! The food on campus is very good as well which makes it nice when you need a quick bite or just don't feel like taking the trolley down the road.

I eat better here than I do at home. There's almost always something I want here, and they're super good at southern foods like friend chicken.

Greek life is a huge part of Tulane.

Hazing is found in EVERY fraternity, and many sororities. I would not recommend Tulane Greek Life. It is not centered around what Greek Life is supposed to be focussed on- very superficial.

So much Greek life it's disgusting.

Greek life is definitely present, but it's not overpowering. What's also nice is that pledging doesn't start until the spring, so you have all of fall to make friends outside of the sorority.

I pledged Phi Beta Sigma in the Spring of 1988

It's about half/half. Some people do it, others don't.

It's there if you want it. Second semester rush, so you can dip you toe into life here without having to decide immediately. Parties don't seem too exclusive.

The campus isn't dominated by greek life, but it's really popular and there are frat parties every weekend. However, you don't have to be involved in greek life to go to the frats.

Is avaialable

I am in a sorority, however many of my friends are not. Also, I have lots of friends in different sororities; even my sophomore roommate. Due to rush being second semester, you have time to get to know the school, the city, and make friends before rush; so it isn't all or nothing. Furthermore, Tulane is different in that greeks don't live in the houses. (*It is considered a brothel in Louisiana if more than 6 girls live in the same house). It was great to expand my social circle and meet new people and at the same time keep a social life outside of the Greek system.
