Tulane is not the best school in the South, but it's pretty good.
The best schools in the South/Southwest (excluding California) are Tulane, Vanderbilt, Rice, Duke, Emory, UNC, and UT-Austin.
Of those schools, only Rice, Duke, UT, and UNC are clearly better than Tulane. Maybe Vandy, as well.

I recently got admission to Tulane University Law School in New Orleans but I'm not sure if the place is safe. I need information with regard to infrastructure and basic services to make my decision.
Any input will be appreciated.

New Orleans has always had a high crime rate, and yes, crime has gone up since Katrina (not counting the first few months when hardly anyone had come back). But it's not THAT bad, especially uptown near Tulane. Just like in any urban area, be sensible, don't wander around alone at night, stay in lit areas, get extra security (locks, alarms) for house, car, bike, etc. if you can.
Basic services are mostly OK now uptown, such as mail, trash collection, etc. There is public transportation in the form of buses; they're redoing the streetcar lines. Many homes are still under repair, but no, most people are not living in trailers now, not in that area at least. You will probably be living in a house rather than an apartment building (there aren't many of those), unless you do go for campus housing, which is ridiculously expensive.
The campus and surrounding area is beautiful, and I don't think the law school has been affected as much as Tulane's other colleges by some of the cuts and other problems wrought by Katrina debts. But you really should visit yourself; seeing the area and speaking to current law students will be most helpful.

Question:
IIT or Tulane?
I am trying to decide between the Illinois Institute of Technology and Tulane University. These are the facts-
IIT
I am worried there will not be enough people. My highschool is about 4,500 kids and IIT's undergraduate class is only around 2,300. Then there's about 3 guys for every 1 girl which also kind of bothers me. My biggest worry though is that it's not a great school for architecture- I visited the program, but it was a bunch of biased facts to try and reel me in. Any statistics or rankings would be great.
Tulane
I come from a Chicago suburb and i love the giant city life- there's always something to do. I'm afraid that in New Orleans I wont enjoy myself, what's the life like down there? I also know nothing of their architecture program- it's a great school in general and there are so many opportunities with rebuilding going on still. Again, stats on the Architecture school and rankings would be great.
Thank you!

Tulane! I'm a student here, and I find the size to be just right, I think about 6000. And if you like the city, you'll fit right in here. New Orleans has a very distinctive character and a very active night life. Though, for most people on campus, going out to bars is the primary pastime. However, I've found lots of other fun things to do as far as theater, plays, museums and such, and the french quarter's always fun. The architecture program is one of their most well-known and respected programs. My roomate is an architecture student, and she works all the time. It's very competitive. You should come here!
here are some random facts http://www2.tulane.edu/about_facts.cfm
and an article about the architecture program with some links in it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulane_School_of_Architecture

I've been accepted to Tulane & Emory (Int'l health MPH) and Minnesota (Nutrition MPH with global concentration). I need to decide which to attend, and soon. The city doesn't matter too much to me--I'll be too busy to do much and I can find things I like anywhere. I already did undergrad at Tulane and even though it's post-Katrina NOLA, that's ok. I figure I'll be pretty absorbed in study.
What I can't find out is which of these schools is the most respected in the International Health arena. I plan to work internationally and wonder if it matters.
If anyone went to these schools, can you give me a run-down of the pros and cons? It's difficult to get a straight answer from some of the university student groups.
Also, though it's not too important, if anyone knows the U.S. News & WR grad school rankings of these schools, I'd appreciate knowing!
Thanks for your help!

Tulane is ranked 44 and will probably only move up a couple of spots, and UT is not very far behind at 47.
When I say better I do mean education wise: professors, number of programs, quality of programs, etc. despite the number/size of the student population..basically my question is where would I get a better education? It's not so much what I make of it as it is about the quality of education given.
Btw, I am planning on majoring in either Biology or doing Nursing.

What do you mean better? What exactly does this mean? Education is what YOU make out of it.
