Where to Stay for Tulane Family Weekend, Move-In and Graduation

When
Wave Weekend 2026 (Family Weekend, Homecoming, Reunions): November 5–8, 2026. Commencement is held each May at the Caesars Superdome (2026 was May 16). Move-in is each August.
From the houses
About 15 minutes by car to Tulane, or a scenic ride on the St. Charles streetcar
Minimum stay
Set per night on our live calendar. Big event weekends usually require more nights; checking your dates shows the exact rule.

Graduations and family weekends bring grandparents, siblings and the friend’s family too. Instead of four hotel rooms, take one house and have dinner together every night.
