School Responsibilities

That really depends on the individual kid and if they are surrounded by close minded people. New Orleans certainly gives you the opportunity to experience a wide range of people and cultures. It's not like it's the backwater of civilization. So, there are many cultural opportunities here that can't be had in other places. It just depends on of the kid is willing to take advantage of those.

Yeah, we're not in disagreement. I didn't mean provincialism in the pejorative sense of being bourgeois -- more like the parochialism of "why would you want to live anywhere else".

As I referenced, I think NOLA is much more welcoming and cosmopolitan in thought since Katrina but, particularly as a fellow non-Jesuit kid :hihi: , I was definitely projecting my own biases and desires when working with my kids on their college decisions.
