Everything you read about NOLA is that it's a cess pool of vomit all over the place. Sounds like a very depressing place to live for someone who doesn't want to be drunk 24/7.

I stayed for awhile with a friend at Tulane. It has to be the coolest campus in the south. That part of NO, at least, is sick.

Yes, Most of Louisiana is. It's run by morons

Only the lower 9th Ward is that way.

There are amazing, beautiful parts of New Orleans, and I am not talking about the French Quarter. It is a great city. You should get off of Bourbon Street.
Go Uptown or over by Bayou St. John or the Marigny or a dozen other places. Yes, there is crime, but if you aren't in on a drug deal in a bad neighborhood, you are probably fine.
New Orleans is like the Caribbean - not like the rest of America. It is more like Key West than anywhere else I have been in America. And, for that, I am grateful.

other than crime, shitty roads, bad education, a rampant homeless problem, a heroin epidemic and severely deteriorating infrastructure, it is the bees knees
Yes you have to boil water about once a month or so.
Also watch out for brain eating parasites, but I think that was only found in an adjacent parish and not in Orleans.

Has the state of Arkansas gotten a dental school yet?

It's obvious who's spent time in New Orleans and who's been a tourist in the FQ a couple of times.
Great food everywhere, compact enough to be walkable, and always something to do. New Orleans just has too much personality for you Protestants to feel comfortable.

They have obviously never been to a 3rd world country or went the month after Katrina

NO is a filthy party city you generally go to just to party and be filthy.
It has some redeeming qualities like the dday center but meh.
Lots of history if that's you're sort of thing but I'd hate to live there.

Most people who say this stupid shite have never been to Santo Domingo or Guatemala City

No, but it's unsafe in lots of areas. Too commercialized to be third world.

Here's an analogy: Nola is Buenos Aires, Baton Rouge is Mogadishu.

NO has some pretty bad areas but has some very unique areas you'll have a hard time duplicating. Stay in decent parts of town, it's a great experience for a few days.
