I will be starting a phd program at Tulane in about a month. I have a question about housing for those familiar with the area. How much of benifit would living right next to campus be? I've found a pretty sweet place, with a roommate, that is one street over from campus. However, for the price, I could afford a nicer place if I moved a few miles away from campus.

What title do you give when people ask what you do? Just curious

So the semester is over and while it was my worst semester, I did not do as poorly as I had expected. I busted my ass and pulled out an A in cal based physics 2 and two C's in my geosciences class. I am also doing field work this summer for 6 credit hours and will most likely end up with a B.

Anyone else have any expierence with this ?

There were no specified GPA requirements included in my offer, only that I must submit my final transcript before I can register for classes.

I've also already secured 4 years of funding .

My overall GPA is 3.7

I could go into the reasons but the fact of the matter is I will most likely end up with 1 b and 2 c's this te. How bad is this?

I've read conflicting info?

Awesome! I'm headed there next year to start a phd program in geology.

Just looking for outside opinions. Thanks

I'll be attending Tulane in the fall for grad school. Any advice on finding housing? Would like to keep it at @$800/mo

Thanks for the encouragement.

I have been accepted to a Phd program at a top 50 university for geology. I could not be more excited. However, I have completly run out of money and have had to take on two jobs. I am taking three very difficult classes ( cal based physics 2, and two other science courses) this semester while working about 40 hours a week. Needless to say, I am not doing well in my classes. There is a small chance that I could end up with all C's. As it stands my GPA is 3.73. I'm freaking out that the school might recend their offer. They did not say anything about having to keep my GPA at a certain leval. Anyone heard of this hapening? Ugh!
