Well, academically it’s great overall. Not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze comparatively (ie, there’s a lot better bang for the buck) but there are certain many that consider it quite elite.
It’s extremely liberal, large % of students from the NE US.
Location - the Uptown Audubon area there is beautiful and relatively safe, but it’s still Nola, so there’s always a little risk but a lot of awesomeness too.
