Question: I have recently been admitted to the Tulane MBA program and was seeking housing advice. Are there any neighborhoods or apartment complexes that you would recommended?
Answer:
Part of the New Orleans experience is living on tree-lined Uptown streets in charming old houses with front porches and backyards.
We don’t really use North-South-East-West much in New Orleans, we use up- vs down-river and river- vs lake-side. The most popular areas are between campus and a few blocks past S Carrollton upriver and Jefferson Ave downriver. Some live river-side of campus, while not so many live lake-side. On http://neworleans.craigslist.org/apa/ you are typically looking for Uptown, Tulane, Universities or Audubon, but there are many other names including some misleading ones, so find the address on Google Maps to be sure.
