I heard last night on the radio that several Canadian Universities are taking in students who were supposed to be headed to school in New Orleans and other Katrina affected areas. I imagine it is a mad scramble for so many university kids to try to find a place to go now that their education has been so suddenly uprooted this week before they were supposed to start! Not only LA residents but kids from around the US. I hope a network has been set up to link students with accepting schools.

www.tulane.edu has had updates by I believe the president of the University stating the qualifications and such for students if they would want to get credit later on from Tulane. Pretty much any accreditited college elsewhere will get you credit at Tulane should you choose to return.

Our local colleges (JAX, FL) and schools are accepting students whose schools were closed due to Katrina. (both gulf coast and and south FL)

I read that FSU and UF, along with smaller schools, are also accepting students.

Yep, UT-Austin is taking in any students who graduated for TX highschools, plus are taking in graduate students and faculty so they can use our research facilities (our dept. just took in 2 new members). Rice and SMU are also taking in as many as 300 students.
