Pros

Great City! Great Food! Great Music!! good culture mixed between partying and school. Great if you like warm weather and either like or dont mind the rain. Good career advice and help if you are in the business school. Lots of free stuff. There are two bars extremely close to campus that are easy to get into.

Cons

Not a huge school. You will see people the next day that saw you drunk at the boot. If you are not in the business school there is much less help getting a job post-grad. Cockroaches fly down here! No beach. Its not impossible to get into a class if you REALLY want to, but it can be challenging. Also, there is a decent sized greek culture.

It is a good place to stay. There are lots of festivals in New Orleans. The shuttle of university makes your life much easier.

Safety is always a big problem. Sale tax is 9% which is higher than other state. There are not enough parking spaces at Downtown campus.
