UW-Madison freshman Sam Melameb, who intended to study at Tulane University this year, arrived on campus from New Orleans last week with “eight articles of clothing and a pair of sandals.” Despite the traumatic circumstances that brought him to Madison, Melameb is responsible to pay tuition to both institutions. According to Tulane University, students who are enrolled for the current semester and are studying elsewhere will not be immediately refunded, despite the school’s temporary closing.
