Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students at Tulane, especially the first semester, enjoy taking advantage of the liberal attitudes toward alcohol and the general laid-back feeling of the city. Travel down to the Quarter, and at any given time you’ll be sure to run into people from all over the country and the world who come to New Orleans to have a good time. On top of tourists, New Orleans has its own set of interesting inhabitants who provide a flair to the city’s atmosphere that is rarely seen. New Orleans is also an old city with lots of beautiful architecture and interesting history. It really does have a character unmatched by any other city in the country and is very attractive to students who are always looking for something to do.

Art and music are also in abundance here—on any given night there is live music of all variety as well as art galleries and museums. Local and famous bands come through to perform throughout the year – many musicians and artists make their home in the streets of New Orleans. In terms of sports, New Orleans has football, baseball, and basketball teams to root for. The Audubon Zoo and the D-Day museum are great for animal lovers and history buffs, respectively. Regardless of your interests, you’ll never be able to say there is nothing to do in New Orleans. There is always some sort of festival, parade, game, gallery opening, book reading, or musical group performing at events like Jazz Fest, Frenchmen on Halloween, or the famous Mardi Gras celebration. There are so many opportunities in New Orleans that it seems nearly impossible to do everything. Just remember to take full advantage of the city, and you’ll always find yourself with a good time.

Only in NOLA

Attending Tulane allows for a college experience that is unlike any other all due to the fact that Tulane is located in New Orleans. There is always something fun to do on or off campus that can appeal to a diverse group of interests. Also, Audubon Park is right across the street from campus if you ever want a nature-y feel anda break from the whirlwind of NOLA.

It *Is* New Orleans

I'm from up North, so the friendliness of New Orleans was a pleasant surprise when I moved down here. There is also a ton to do, for every interest, and students (with IDs) tend to get in cheaper to most museums and zoo-related establishments. The streetcar and bus lines make getting around easy, and Tulane offers a shuttle (or you can take a cab) to and from the airport.

Tulane is right next to Loyola, so there are some events and classes the two campuses share, which is awesome because you get to meet all sorts of people.

Big Easy

There's literally so much to do in New Orleans. Whether you like the going out bar scene, music venues, good food, there's always something to do. Tulane also has started to offer events on weekends for those who don't like to go out.
