<p>Does anyone have a recommendation? We are trying not to rent a car. Also, do they allow the parents to help with the move in at the dorms?</p>
<p>As usual, I posted before doing a search. The Hampton and Iberville Suites were booked. We're going to end up at the Best Western St. Charles, which looks o.k. I will probably rent a car for Saturday.</p>
<p>Welcome, jmellicant. There are several of us soon-to-be Tulane parents on cc this year. As well as a couple of very helfpul "veterans."</p>
<p>Are you also planning on attending Parents' Weekend? I found that even more difficult in terms of finding a hotel. Just FYI.</p>
<p>Since I heard it mentioned on this forum. When is it?</p>
<p>Parent's Weekend is September 30-October 2. You would be best served checking into a hotel room now for parent's weekend, althought the school does have a travel agency that I believe prebooks rooms. You will get something in the mail about this. </p>

<p>I just may do it. My wife might have a business trip in N.O. in November so I may go in Sept.</p>
<p>FYI: Last year for Parent's Weekend the rooms were booked and there wasa a huge conference in town. So, my wife and I stayed at the Airport Sheraton -- $45 per night on Priceline -- and rented a car. We found parking easy and were able to get all over with ease.</p>
