    Additional Considerations

    Transportation
    The program will provide transportation to internship sites Monday through Wednesday.  Limited transportation to program activities will also be provided on an event by event basis. Additionally, New Orleans public transportation is an available option for many sites across the city.

    Dining Information
    Each student will receive a $150 debit card redeemable at Tulane Dining facilities.  However, those options are limited during the summer, with most facilities closing at 5:00PM.  Students will want to budget additional money for lunchtime meals during their internships as well as spending money for dinners or other social activities they choose to participate in.
