University of New Orleans

The University of New Orleans (UNO) is a public university on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana, known for strong programs in business, computer science, engineering, nursing, biology, psychology, and the liberal arts plus a small‑to‑mid‑size, commuter‑heavy campus and Division I athletics. Students often rave about the city‑campus blend, easy access to French‑Quarter culture and internships, many clubs and events, and a diverse, student‑focused environment.

“I love UNO’s city‑campus mix, how easy it is to sneak into French‑Quarter gigs and lake‑area hangouts between classes, and the many student‑life events that make the campus feel alive, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the heavy commuter vibe, some older dorms and the way campus energy can thin out after dark were all more noticeable once I stopped just visiting and started living there.”
