As you make your travel plans, please remember:
Students have required orientation “Hullabaloo Hello” activities beginning at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, January 9. If you wish to spend time as a family exploring New Orleans, plan those activities before your student’s Move-In time. Housing and Residence Life will email students their move-in time slots in mid-December. Find more Move-In Information here.
The Tulane Travel Portal offers discounts at a collection of New Orleans hotels (both major chains and local, independent hotels) and three local bed and breakfast options. Click on the hotel or B and B logo to access its booking screen.
We look forward to meeting you in January! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email families@tulane.edu. We'll answer or connect you with the relevant campus department.
