5 . New Orleans in 1834 was one of the busiest international port cities in the world. However, the city wasn’t just importing goods from across the world. It was also importing deadly diseases like yellow fever and smallpox. In an effort to treat these diseases and train more doctors, the Medical College of Louisiana was formed.
In 1847, the Medical College of Louisiana was a newly established public institution, later known as the University of Louisiana. But in 1884, Paul Tulane, a native wealthy businessman from Princeton, New Jersey, wanted to express his appreciation for the city that brought him a fortune. He donated more than $1 million in land and cash for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral and industrial education. His generous gift transformed the University of Louisiana into Tulane University.
Now, Tulane University has become one of the most honored educational and research institutions in the country. To be exact, Tulane University is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, a select group of the leading research universities in the United States and Canada with outstanding programs of graduate and professional education and scholarly research. Tulane University is also ranked by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a university with very high research activities. Of several thousand higher educational institutions rated by the foundation, Tulane University remains in an extraordinary category that includes only two percent of universities nationwide.
In 2014, Michael Fitts was named the President of Tulane University. Fitts introduced a new era at Tulane University — focusing on creating the most meaningful student experience anywhere and greatly increasing and deepening the university’s level of interdisciplinary teaching and research. His efforts were quickly establishing Tulane University as a place where the best minds from the widest variety of fields seek solutions to the world’s most urgent problems throughinterdisciplinary cooperation and innovation.

Teaching and learning
Cambridge is known and respected across the globe for the excellence of our teaching and research, and the quality of our graduates. You’ll be taught by inspiring academics who are experts in their field, and our supervision system means you’ll receive personal tuition and support.

Cambridge is a great place to be a student. There’s loads going on within the University and Colleges, and there are also over 500 student clubs that you can join—a great opportunity to meet like-minded people or to try something new.
Accommodations
At Cambridge, rather than choosing a hall of residence for your first year of study, you live in a College for the full duration of your course. The majority of students are guaranteed accommodation in College-owned property for three years, and many Colleges provide for fourth-year students too, so you don’t have to find private accommodation during that time. Your College is where you do a lot of your studying and socializing, and each College community offers pastoral (生活辅导的) and academic support.
