  • Hey everyone! Happy New Years and welcome back to my channel!
    If it wasn’t already clear from the title, this video is going to be a little different from the ones I’ve made in the past. Basically, I want to take you along for a day in my life as a college student at Tulane University, so you can learn a little more about me and also because I live in New Orleans, which is one of the coolest cities in America.
    Tulane is a private university that was founded 1834. At Tulane, we have around 14,000 students, most of whom are not from the South, including myself since I’m originally from Chicago.
    Now I absolutely love living here, but there are definitely a few things that took some getting used to when I first moved to New Orleans:
    1. Hurricanes
    2. Cockroaches. Everywhere.
    3. The worst roads in the entire country.
    4. The language.
    Here’s some more info about some of the places I visit in the video:
    Tulane University: The only private research university in Louisiana. I’m a junior at Tulane, where I study Finance, Political Economy, and Italian.
    Maple Street: A quaint street within walking distance from Tulane with lots of small businesses and restaurants.
    Carrollton Cemetery: One of New Orleans’ many historic above-ground cemeteries, located in the Carrollton neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans.
    Audubon Park:
    An Uptown park on the banks of the Mississippi River. Audubon is a popular hangout spot among Tulane students, especially the part closest to the river that’s nicknamed “The Fly.”
    City Park:
    A 1,300-acre park located south of Lake Pontchartrain. City Park is one of the most visited urban parks in the United States and is 50% larger than Central Park in New York City.
    The French Quarter (Vieux Carré):
    The oldest (and one of the highest) neighborhoods in New Orleans. Most of the buildings were constructed in the late 18th century, when the Spanish ruled New Orleans. The French Quarter is also the neighborhood in New Orleans that is most visited by tourists, especially Bourbon Street and Jackson Square.

      Connor Gleason fair enough! I went to ny, dc, Miami and Vegas the summer before last and I’ve been to LA as a kid but I’m as interested if not more in places with less of a tourist scene

    • @connorgioiafigliu
      @connorgioiafigliu  3 года назад +1

      @@yourfirstsecondlanguage4782 Well New Orleans definitely has a tourism scene--there's like 1.5 million people that come for Mardi Gras alone. But it's mostly domestic tourists, and not many foreigners.

    • @yourfirstsecondlanguage4782
      @yourfirstsecondlanguage4782 3 года назад +2

      Connor Gleason domestic tourism doesn’t ‘count’ for me for purposes of somewhere being ‘too touristy’ ... I like to be a hypocritical holiday maker ie find the places without other foreign tourists and where applicable, places where English isn’t spoken as much by the locals, shopkeepers etc

    I got accepted into Tulane, but I’m having trouble figuring out how I’m going to pay for Tulane since it’s so expensive. Any tips on what I should do?

    • @connorgioiafigliu
      @connorgioiafigliu  3 года назад +4

      Tulane accepted me with a sizeable chunk of merit aid and I wouldn't have been able to attend without it. On top of that, I applied to lots of scholarships through Tulane and back in my hometown. One of them was the Paul Tulane Award, and even though I didn't end up getting it, Tulane increased my merit aid offering because they liked my essay.
      My roommate Alex Suh spent an insane amount of time researching scholarships and it really paid off for him. He's got a couple videos about it on his own RUclips channel. But ultimately, if you can't find a way to make Tulane work financially, it's probably best to pick a cheaper school. I absolutely love Tulane, but there's no school in the world that's worth 25 years of student loan repayments.
