Your college experience is more than just time spent in the classroom. It includes being part of the university's academic, recreational, and social communities. This living and learning environment is one that can't be matched at home or in an off-campus apartment.
Students at UNO can choose from dormitory living in
Ponchartrain Hall, family student living in
Lafitte Village, or private apartment living in
Privateer Place.
At the University of New Orleans, you will have the opportunity to form friendships and relationships with people from diverse backgrounds that can benefit you and your career long after you leave the University. With these new friends, you can enjoy campus life and the charms of the city of New Orleans. Our mission is to provide our resident students with the highest quality living and learning environment at a reasonable cost.
