The University of New Orleans was a busy campus near the New Orleans lakefront not that long ago. There were about 1,400 students when what was then the Louisiana State University at New Orleans opened in 1958. That number grew to more than 17,000 students by 2003. Hurricane Katrina changed much of the southern Louisiana landscape, including the UNO campus that sits at the end of Elysian Fields Avenue.
