New Orleans’ universities will be welcoming the influx of returning and new students to their doors and into our community. As our New Orleans Bed and Breakfast is just a short streetcar ride to Tulane and Loyola University campuses, we are always glad to greet returning parents and welcome new ones to New Orleans, LA.
Streetcar pick up just outside the Grand Victorian!
Bed, Bath and Beyond allows you to order dorm room or apartment supplies online and pick them up locally, instead of packing and moving all those boxes. Don’t forget sheets, a reading lamp, coffee maker, picture frames and some basic cooking supplies.
