UNO campus
The city campus of UNO provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. New Orleans has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. UNO accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
