Overview
There is definitely academic excellence in the city known for Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street, but you have to go a bit southwest of the party to find it. In the New Orleans Garden District about 5 miles west of the French Quarter sits Tulane, side by side with Loyola University on a park-like campus. New Orleans and serious scholarship do not often co-exist, but they do live comfortably side by side at Tulane.
