Living in New Orleans

Mardi Gras

Our city is an American original. There is simply no other city like New Orleans. Music of all kinds bursts from clubs across the city. People from Uptown to the Ninth Ward argue over which restaurant serves the best gumbo and barbecue shrimp (and usually settle the dispute with more eating). A history unlike any other feels so close you can almost touch it. More than anything else, people from every walk of life and nation on Earth make sure life here is never boring.

Living in New Orleans is about celebrating the amazing things that happen here every day and being a part of uniquely magical culture and community. This makes it a pretty wonderful place for learning!
