Housing for men and women is available on campus in Loyola’s modern, air-conditioned residence halls.

Many apartments are available near campus if you plan to stay in New Orleans for a longer period of time. For more information about living off-campus, visit http://loyno.universityrentallisting.com. We recommend, however, that you initially live on campus. There are several cafeterias on campus which serve three meals daily at moderate prices. There is also a wide variety of inexpensive restaurants in the university area.
If you decide to live on-campus, you will need to fill out out a housing application and contract. This is available as part of your application to LIEP.
