Favorite NOLA Restaurant:
Pizza Delicious. It鈥檚 the best New York style pizza in town and they catered my wedding!
Favorite Spot on Campus:
Newcomb Art Museum. They鈥檝e got a really cool collection, especially work from amazing local artists like Rontherin Ratliff and Carl Joe Williams.
My 鈥淥nly at Tulane鈥 Moment:
Tulane has really incredible faculty. Tulane Professor and Historical Geographer Richard Campanella鈥檚 work has informed the way I work and live in New Orleans for a decade. And Jesmyn Ward teaches here! Thankfully small class sizes make it easy to get to know your professors 鈥 take advantage of that.
My 鈥淥nly in New Orleans鈥 Moment:
There are way too many to choose from: opening for Tank and the Bangas at Tipitinas; finally catching Mr. Okra鈥檚 truck to buy produce; walking in the Chewbacchus parade; dancing at Mimi鈥檚 or Hi-Ho for DJ Soul Sister鈥檚 sets; AND eating my favorite vegetarian sandwich in the world: a french fry po鈥檅oy at Parkway. New Orleans is magic.
My Best College Search Process Tip:
Fit is so important. You鈥檙e not just picking the college that sounds the most impressive or looks the best on paper: you鈥檙e choosing the place, people, location, and resources that are going to help shape you into the person you want to become. Be honest with yourself and go with your gut.
