Message: [QUOTE="SaltineWarrior, post: 752515, member: 925"] As a life-long Syracuse fan and a Tulane grad, I would say that Tulane is ahead of SU in terms of academics, and that SU is clearly ahead of Tulane in athletics. You are right, both have similar profiles but Tulane is fighting for its life athletically; SU just completed a successful navigation in this conference realignment. Academically Tulane is below the Ivy/Duke/Northwestern/Stanford/etc. level but not by much. Probably on par with Vandy, Rice, etc. in terms of selectivity. SU is probably a notch or two below (but still well ahead of most institutions in this country). Now if you are going to compare Dinosaur BBQ/State Fair/Lake effect snow/Tip Hill vs. Commanders Palace/Jazz Fest & Mardi Gras/Hurricanes/French Quarter, that really isn't fair. Syracuse is a great place to live; NOLA is a great place to indulge. [/QUOTE]
