New Orleans Colleges and Universities

As Louisiana's largest city, New Orleans has a lot to offer residents and visiting students. New Orleans is famous for its annual Mardi Gras celebration, which fuels the city's fun-loving attitude. Sports lovers at New Orleans colleges and universities can cheer on the New Orleans Saints football team and the Hornets NBA basketball team. Students who crave an exciting nightlife can enjoy the many pubs, restaurants, and nightclubs that blanket Bourbon Street.

New Orleans continues to rebound from the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and New Orleans colleges and universities are a major part of the renovation process. Schools like Tulane University and Loyola University have fully recovered, and again are welcoming students from across the world. Among public New Orleans colleges and universities is the University of New Orleans, a member of the LSU system.
