Best Friends Ever!!


Best Year____ Ever!!

Andrew Lemoine, a rising sophomore, wrote an awesome blog series highlighting why he loves Tulane. Check out his previous posts to hear more from Andrew!

            So freshman year is in the books, and boy was it one I will never forget. As a local kid from Louisiana I didn’t know what to expect by staying in state for college, but it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. New Orleans is one of the most unique places in the world. I think that this statement pretty much sums up my experience at Tulane this past year. Unique!

Best Friends Ever!!

            When I came to Tulane, another thing I was really looking forward too, was the huge diversity among the student population. Having a RA from Kenya, a suite mate from Thailand, and a floor mate from England, I immediately had the chance to experience so many new cultures and ways of thinking. I was so intrigued by how different everyone was. In high school, all students were from the same place. Most people held the same beliefs and ideals, and It was truly an awesome adventure to meet all the new people. Its so cool that in just one friend group, one person is, for example. from Louisiana, one from California, another from Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Oregon, Missouri, and Florida. Having that huge spectrum of people is just, that awesome. I don’t really have other fancy words to describe it. I think that your friends really help make your college experience what it is. Throughout getting involved through sports and other organizations on campus, I really got to see the entire spectrum of the many people on campus. And by doing this, I think I was lucky enough to have the best freshman year ever!!
