University of New Orleans

My son is going to grad school in NO, and I%26#39;m wanting information about the college...where is it located in relation to the French Quarter?

Is it in a safe area?

Any info will be appreciated. Thanks@

UNO is on the lakefront, several miles from the French Quarter. The ';lake'; neighborhoods are very nice and the ones closest to Lake Pontchartrain sustained little to no flooding in Katrina. The UNO campus was damaged to some extent but as largely been repaired.

It%26#39;s a very good university. It%26#39;s part of the LSU system and is known locally for being ';tougher'; than some of the regional universities. Your son made a good choice.

I second what CajunWave said. The area%26#39;s very nice, reasonably safe, and the school is excellent. I went there, and my daughter will be there in 2008.
