New Orleans has sports and recreational outlets too. The Louisiana Superdome is home to the N.F.L. Saints, while Zephyr Field and the Municipal Auditorium play host to popular minor league baseball and hockey teams, respectively. Audubon and City Parks and Lake Pontchartrain are counted among the city's recreational offerings. The Audubon Zoo and the Aquarium of the Americas are among the best of their kind. People from all over the world come to be treated at New Orleans hospitals, which form a major medical center.
Students cross-register for courses at several area universities.
Students who choose Xavier get New Orleans too. It is a compact campus, located near the heart of New Orleans. Situated near major thoroughfares, Xavier offers easy access to several city transit lines, placing the entire city at the door step of the Xavier student. The campus is a short distance from downtown, with its commercial, entertainment and sports offerings. A student can see the Louisiana Superdome from his or her dormitory window.
