After the storm

·

One year after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, New Orleans natives enrolled at IU are still dealing with their losses, both in financial and emotional terms. Despite everything that has been taken away from them, these students remain optimistic that the rebirth of the city will come. IU senior Carrie Bart, a New Orleans native, said a lot of her friends are transferring from schools across the country back to Louisiana just to return home and be a part of the rebuilding. "All my friends and family have returned to the city," Bart said. "Some of my friends are even transferring to Tulane (University) because they just want to do whatever they can to help." Bart's family returned to New Orleans in January while her younger sister finished her senior year at a boarding school in Dallas.
