Add your scoop

A few sentences is plenty. Write it the way you'd tell a friend who's about to make the same mistake you did.

TODO — THIS FORM DOES NOT WORK

These are local files with no backend. Nothing is sent, stored, or received when you press the button, and the button is disabled so it cannot pretend otherwise. A real submission path — where this actually goes, who sees it — hasn't been built yet.

Focus on the teaching, the place, the experience. You can name an instructor when you're writing about their class — what it was like to learn in it. Not about who they are. See The Rules.

Never published. A moderator sees it, and that's all. We ask for it so posts come from people who actually go here.

TODO — WORDING DEPENDS ON AN UNDECIDED BUILD

The form above collects an address; it does not verify one. Nothing on this site may say "verified," "verified students," or "we confirm every poster" unless a confirmation-link round-trip is actually built. If that gets built, posts become pseudonymous rather than anonymous, and the wording on this page will need to change again if that happens.

Find a place

Search for the thing you want to hear about — a dorm, a bar, a class, whoever taught it.

TODO — THE PLACE LIST HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED

The search now covers 176 places — dorms, dining, bars, restaurants, classes and core requirements. It has not been checked against Tulane's own current pages, so a name, a location, or an open/closed status here could be wrong or out of date.

Confirm the list in data.js before treating it as reliable.

Missing something? Add it.

If the dorm, bar, class or instructor you want to talk about isn't in here yet, put it in. Somebody has to be first.

TODO — THIS FORM DOES NOT WORK EITHER

Same as the scoop form: local files, no backend, nothing is sent or stored. Controls are disabled so the page can't pretend otherwise.

The name people actually use. If it has a nickname, put that in too.

Enough for a moderator to tell it apart from something similar — a street, a building, a floor, which section of a course.

Never published. A moderator sees it, and that's all.

New places are read by a person before they show up in search, the same way scoops are. If it's already here under another name, we'll merge it rather than make a second one.

TODO — PLACE NAMES ARE USER-GENERATED CONTENT TOO

A place name is a text field a stranger fills in, which makes it the same kind of risk as a review — and an easier one to miss. Someone can put an attack, a slur, or a person's name into the name of a place and it will then appear in search results, page titles and headings across the site, attached to every review filed under it.

The moderation rule for names has not been written. It needs to cover at minimum: no individuals as places (an instructor is added as a course and teaching entry, not as a person-shaped entity), no slurs or attacks in a name, no duplicates, and no joke entries. Trust-and-safety's call, and it blocks opening submissions.

Where does your scoop go?

Pick the closest thing. If it doesn't fit anywhere, put it under “something else” and we'll sort it.

TODO — CATEGORIES NOT VALIDATED

This list was assembled from the categories requested in conversation. Nothing here comes from research into what Tulane students actually want to post about, and the pitch has still never been read. Confirm before treating the list as final.

“Professors & teaching” permits naming instructors, as long as the post is about their teaching, not about them as a person. This is the highest-risk category on the site, and the rule allowing it has not yet been reviewed by anyone qualified to weigh in on that risk.

What people have written

Nothing here yet.

This site opened before anybody posted, which means the first scoop on it is still available. It could be yours.

TODO — NO REVIEWS EXIST

Zero posts have been written, so there is nothing real to display. No sample, placeholder, or illustrative reviews have been invented — inventing them would mean shipping fake student opinion on a site whose entire premise is honesty. The empty state above is the honest version, and it was the plan from the start, not a fallback.
