What Current Students Say See All 13 Comments >

There is a strong bond between all business students. Everyone helps each other learn. It is in no way a "dog eat dog program" all the students recognize that every student is a resource and friend. Also we get great treatment by our professors and resources to computers, printing, library, and job opportunities. We have our own library. I think we are the only school at Tulane to have a library in our building. Tulane has been a great place to motivate me to succeed.
