Housing
There are several different types of housing at Tulane. Some options include co-ed dorms, female-only residence halls, two and four person suites and an undergraduate apartment complex. Tulane also offers several theme-based living arrangements. You can read about all of the options below.
Tulane's residence halls – which are equipped with study lounges, kitchenettes, laundry facilities, air conditioning, and internet connections – provide a convenient center for student life on campus. All first and second year students reside on-campus unless they are approved to reside at their family’s home in the Greater New Orleans area.
