UI is only a party school if you want to party - certainly no more so than Ann Arbor. Iowa City is a very cool place to live, as well. The CW program isn't very large, but she'll have multiple opportunities to enter at different stages. If she's serious, she should definitely visit, and possibly consider a workshop - it's definitely worth seeing the campus and campus life.
Tulane is doing very well post-Katrina - two friends were in law school during Katrina, and to hear them tell it, the campus has come out amazingly well. My impression has never been that it's particularly "capital-S Southern", but that's because it draws from all over the south (and nation).
From my limited experience there, I've always felt WashU was similar in many ways to U of Chicago - the differences being primarily the differences between STL and Chicago.
