Dillard University and its community
Located between the New Orleans lakefront and the historic Treme area, the neighborhood of Dillard is home to Dillard University, which opened in 1930 and quickly took over much of the area. Even today, the community gets much quieter in the summer when many students are away from the college. Thanks to the university’s large presence, the surrounding community has a fair selection of local shops and national chains. “It’s a nice area,” says Davonte Campbell, who grew up in Dillard and now owns Honcho Mobile Detailing. “It’s a beautiful area, but there isn’t much to do except on the outskirts of the neighborhood.”
Dillard is a primarily residential neighborhood.
Dillard University has large oaks for relaxing walks.

University athletics without many parties
The university has a variety of sports like basketball, cross country and volleyball, so there are plenty of opportunities for residents to catch a game. Homecoming takes place each fall, bringing together current students and former alum to celebrate the university and the work of its scholars. While there are Mardi Gras celebrations, Campbell says the school is not known for being too wild. “Students will have a few parties, but it’s not a college that really parties. Students usually go to a different school for that.”
Dillard University offers athletic programs in several different sports.
Dillard University has many modern buildings that stand next to historical buildings.

Cemeteries and City Park
For green space, this university neighborhood is somewhat lacking. Ahavas Sholem Cemetery offers a macabre but grass-covered space to walk around, but for larger spaces with more amenities, residents will have to travel to nearby City Park, which also houses the Louisiana Children's Museum and the City Park Disc Golf Course.
Ahavas Sholem Cemetery is a peaceful green space in Dillard.
