Tulane University is located in Uptown New Orleans. The Uptown campus is on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, across from Audubon Park, and approximately four miles from the French Quarter. Experience our Interactive Campus Map.
When flying to New Orleans, the destination airport is Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY). Armstrong International is served by 15 airlines to 48 nonstop destinations, both domestic and international.
New Orleans is served by Amtrak's daily City of New Orleans and Crescent routes, as well as the 3-days-weekly Sunset Limited route, through Union Passenger Terminal. The UPT is on the Loyola Streetcar Line (red cars).
For your convenience, we recommend taking a taxi or using public transportation when traveling around the city. Parking in both Uptown and Downtown New Orleans is hard to come by, and garage parking at downtown hotels can be expensive.
Due to limited parking in the Uptown area, we strongly recommend you use public transportation or a taxi to get to Tulane. The Office of Undergraduate Admission is located in 210 Gibson Hall, at 6823 St. Charles Avenue. Download and/or print an illustrated map of campus (PDF).

If you're driving to campus, we recommend you plan to arrive early enough to find parking and walk to Gibson Hall from your vehicle. There are six parking spaces in Cowen Circle outside the admission office for daily admission visitors, but parking on and around Tulane's campus can be very limited, especially for larger vehicles. Please note that the only other available spaces on campus are metered; unmarked spaces require annual parking permits every weekday.
