Categories Comments Great for these types of students Any whom are willing to put forth the effort, and have a drive that motivates them to do their best in order to achieve their goal in life (whatever degree you may be pursuing).
Tips for prospective students Be ready to jump in and work. Don't throw out all your study skills you've developed, because they will be extremely useful once the semester gets going. Don't let yourself slack off, because you'll be paying for it in semesters to come!
Bang for the buck Really great school, easy campus to figure out and get around, and for a great price that can fit most family's budget.
Am enjoying being here I love the people down here! My roommates are awesome, we all get along so well! It's a wonderful feeling to go somewhere completely new, and feel so comfortable while you're adjusting to that new environment.
Am learning a lot You learn a lot about yourself. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. You discover just what you're capable of doing and how much effort you're willing to put out there for what you want.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students USI is great for any student who wants a big university education with a small, friendly campus. The university is small enough to stand out and make a name for yourself if you want, but also big enough to let yourself blend in if you so choose.
Tips for prospective students Visit campus during one of USI's Southern Hospitality Days. They give you a tour of campus including the dorms and let you meet some of the faculty. They also break you up into groups depending on what field of study you might be interested in and let those groups meet with professors and faculty who are in that area. Going to a Southern Hospitality Day really lets you get the feel of the campus and decide if it is right for you.
Bang for the buck The education and overall academic setting and experience are well worth the money. USI has several nationally ranked programs... you cannot ask for a better education than that for less money! Almost all of the activities offered on campus, such as the movies, are free, which offers nice, cheap entertainment to students who are watching their dollars and cents. The dorms are VERY nice and worth the cost as well. However, only freshmen are allowed to stay in the dorms. Other students who wish to live on campus may sign up for on campus apartments, which include a small kitchen. While these apartments are extremely convenient, they are not very nice. The college pays students to paint and clean them over the summer... and you can tell. There is paint all over the ceilings, mirrors, woodwork, and carpets. The woodwork is broken off in chunks and the carpets are pretty stained and filthy. Appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers act up quite a bit, but the maintenance crew is very good about fixing them in a timely manner.
Am enjoying being here The campus is very well kept and the staff is extremely friendly. The advisors are more than willing to meet with you for any scheduling concerns, no matter how many times you need to see them. The groups and committees on campus offer many activities, such as new movies in the forums about twice a month or ice-skating during the winter. With all those kinds of activities, gym access, sports events, theater productions, etc., there is always something to do if you want. However, if you just want to take a break and relax, there are many quiet places to hang out or grab a cup of coffee on campus as well.
Am learning a lot The amount you learn depends on the amount of effort YOU put into schooling. The professors, like at any other college, expect you to put time in outside of class to do your own studying. They do not spoon feed you all the information you need for tests, but are extremely willing to help when you do not understand things you are trying to learn on your own.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security is very vigilant! Use basic caution though. Don't walk home alone after dark, but if you do or are attacked there are tones of blue emergency polls that you can get to and push and security will be there asap! Oh, and if you go out and party, be careful... Go in groups! That is off campus though..
Clubs and Activities As far as I can tell, there is a club for everything. There are different types of religious groups, book groups, singing groups, Greek life, etc. Research before you join. Each group has perks but each has TIME COMMITMENT! Remember why you are here? It is to get a degree! So have fun, but not too much fun!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a flag football game during welcome week, but you have to know someone who is going to find out the where and when. The Holiday lighting ceremony is always fun (free hot chocolate!). Don't forget each final has a midnight breakfast! Bring a canned good at about 9-12 to the loft during the advertised time and eat, hang, and enjoy then go back and study! Psuedostarbucks! There is this area in the library on the opposite side from Starbucks that people hang out and study at. If you are in need of some friends find a group of loud friends and say hey!
Bang for the buck USI has a good price tag. It is decently priced school. Not to mention you can get a good degree for a good price.
What to do for fun Join a club! Work on campus! Go to the Rec! During welcome week there are hundreds of activities to do that will be advertised all around campus. You can find your club or clubs during the club fair. Or possibly a group of friends during a trip to Starbucks or in one of your classes. Campus jobs are great because they work around your schedule. Everyone need a bit of gym time! Try zumba with Alice! It is one of the most popular groups on campus! Or check a rugby or basketball game! There is always something to do!
Food and Dining I really do not like the loft and if you live in the dorms you have to eat there a lot. On the other hand with your munch money I recommend Salsa Rico and Cyclone Salad! Avoid the fatty fried foods and go with some greenery! Salsa Rico has great quesadillas, but be ware of the queso. Cyclone has marvelous salads and great baked potatoes!
Dorm Life The real question when you apply is apartment vs. dorm. I chose Dorm first. Though the location is great the meal plan for the dorms is pretty scary. It made me sick most of the time. My room mates and I typically avoid the loft. With the apartment you are further from the library (and Starbucks!!) but you have a kitchen and a bigger living space. The problem is the bus is not on time, so standing out in the cold or walking quite a distance(depending on where you live) may be necessary. Being close to the library will help your grades, but depending on where you live and who you live with (aka choose roomies that will study with you!) the apartments are a better choice
Academic Rigor This all depends on your classes. PED classes like table tennis are easy and great GPA boosters. Pretty much every other class is hard and you have to work your tail off on in. Again, BIO 121 is HARD! Work at it from the beginning and please, what ever class you are in read the chapter BEFORE class. That way you have a head start on the material!
Tips for prospective students Relax your first year. Do not fret too much. Yes, you will have to study, this will be much harder than high school. Will this actually be fun? absolutely! you are studying for something that you WANT TO DO! Remember you are going to have to do core your first two years. So if you have to change your major you should be fine. Also, choose a back up especially if you are a nursing or engineering major. Half the nursing students will drop due to frustration with CHEM 141 or BIO 121. You will struggle. Everyone does. Even the geniuses.
In three sentences USI is the perfect school for me. There is a small town feel, where people actually care and it is still easy to make friends and be accepted, while having thousands around you everyday! The school work is challenging but there are professors who care and will help you if you need them and ask.

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students I honestly just wouldn't attend unless you know that you'll be transferring out. It's cheap and that's the only positive I ever found to it.
Bang for the buck Just not worth what you pay. It is cheap, but the school tries to act like it is a finer institution and it falls drastically.
Did enjoy being here I only slightly enjoyed it for the students that I met from other parts of the country. The locals aren't very accepting and very snobby.
Did learn a lot I felt like I didn't learn a lot. A lot of it felt like high school part two.

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Get ready to learn right away. Also, skipping class is a bad idea. Most classes after 3 times you're not there, you get kicked out. Other classes they won't let you come in if you're late, or they count you absent. so be on time.
Am enjoying being here Evansville is beautiful. There are tons of things to do, all the time. The dorms are extremely nice, with air conditioning unlike other schools. The people are also extremely nice.
Am learning a lot Learning is what you put into it. The teachers give you one on one, and the classes are way smaller than most schools, and it's good to actually interact with your teacher.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Anyone who wants an individual attention and professors that are always available to help
Tips for prospective students Dont procrastinate as it bites you harder in college than it ever did in High School also study for your tests
Bang for the buck Very affordable for most families and is a top notch school for that kind of money
Am enjoying being here There are many fun things to do around campus and everyone is nice and cordial to everyone else
Am learning a lot all the professors are very helpful and will see you to help you if you are having trouble

Categories Comments Campus Safety The security is very tight on campus. They make sure that if you need to have a ride they will give you a lift, help you if you locked your keys in your car all for free!!
Great for these types of students It's great for students who are used to be by themselves in high school and who are shy people because i had a roommate who was very very shy and within two weeks, she was very comfortable and had plenty of friends and having a good time there still.
What to do for fun You can do zumba, lifts weights, join a greek organization, or you can start your own and it can be what ever you would like it to be.
Food and Dining The food is really good to me. As long as you don't eat the same exact food everyday and have something new.
Dorm Life I love how I only shared a bathroom with one person and still had a dorm with four people living there. The only issue i had was that the walls are so thin you can easily get a noise complaint real easy!!
Academic Rigor I think grading wise, it's all the same if you go to a public school, but if you go to a private school, than expect the grading to be harder.
Tips for prospective students Never slack off on homework in any classes. I was taking general classes and I did in the beginning of the semester, and my grades weren't good as they could have been. Always do your homework straight after class if you have a chance so it's still fresh in your mind.
In three sentences It helps you get a one on one talk and relationship with mostly all of your teachers. You are also able to have a flexible schedule even as a freshman compared to a bigger university that has over five thousand freshman. Plus, there are plenty of things to do!!

Categories Comments Campus Safety overall safety isn't really a problem, i don't personally know anyone who has ever been harmed or threatened on campus. apparently there are a few people who have their apartments broken into, but every case i've heard it's usually someone who left their door wide open when no one was there. just don't be stupid and you'll be just fine.
Greek Life there are several sororities and fraternities on campus, and they are always trying to recruit more people, and run events all the time.
Clubs and Activities there are a decent amount of clubs, people are always creating more which open up an opportunity to meet more people who may also have a similar interest to you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there are running and walking paths that lead all over the place, and it can be fun wondering around and exploring.
Bang for the buck way better than i expected, its a cheap school and you can still get a great education.
What to do for fun there are clubs, free rec center, dances, games, events, and movies happening all over the week.
Food and Dining there isn't as many places to eat on campus which is unfortunate, but just down the road there's more than enough different places to eat. and on top of that most people here have cars.
Dorm Life dorms and on campus apartments are amazing and for their quality it costs much less than it would at most colleges. did i happen to mention that they all come slandered? heck yeah
Tips for prospective students try living on campus, u meet and get to know people way better than living off campus.
In three sentences it is a small but beautiful campus, where pretty much everyone is nice and meeting new people are fun. there may not be as many things to do on campus but it's okay because with all the free stuff and people i've met here i'm always busy. dorms and apartments are really nice, better than most other colleges.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is very high on campus. If you are afraid to walk at night, you can call security and they will pick you up. The good is that people down here are very friendly and almost never bother you.
Greek Life There are eight fraternities and three sororities on campus. They have two rush weeks. One during the fall and one during the spring.
Clubs and Activities There are dozens of clubs and activities always going on. There are also usually free prizes at these events. If there is not a club that gets your interest you can very easily start one by having three students and a faculty member sponsor you.
Great for these types of students USI is great for students who want to get an education and better themselves. If you want to make new friends and have fun without drinking, I recommend USI. It is a dry campus and most students here do not drink or drink very little.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is really only one tradition, and it's lighting up trees during Christmas time. The event is no very exciting, but is still nice.
Bang for the buck Overall, its a great deal. USI is the cheapest university in Indiana. It has plenty to offer for the cost.
What to do for fun If your an athlete, this would be a great campus for you. There a plenty of basketball and volleyball courts throughout campus. There are dosens of trails that already exsist, and plenty of room to make new ones. Every Friday there are tackle football games during summer, fall and spring. Pool and ping pong tables are also available at the rec center. Events are always happening on campus, whether its an activity or guest speaker, there is always something to do.
Food and Dining There are several dining choices here at USI. We have a Burger King, pizza joint, sandwich shop, and Mexican grill. There is also a cafeteria which is known as the loft. Unfortunately, the main entree is usually dry and bland.
Dorm Life USI offers dorms and apartment complexes for living options on campus. I recommend the apartments. They are more spacious and come with a kitchen and bathrooms for the same price.
Academic Rigor Classes here are not insanely hard as you might think all college courses are. As long as you go to class and pay attention and try hard, you will succeed. The professors are willing to help you every step of the way.
Tips for prospective students Bring a bike if you like to bike ride, USI offers hundreds of acres of wooded nature trails. You can also rent bikes for free until eight o'clock. If you do not have a laptop don't worry, there are plenty of computers on campus.
In three sentences USI is a great college for someone that comes for the academics. It has a friendly atmosphere and the staff is always ready to help. It has amazing resources that range from private study tutors to high technological computer labs.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Our campus is very safe. There are always security vehicles driving around to ensure the safety of students.
Greek Life Our greek life is fantasic. We have many different Fraternities and soroities. Thye are really nice and well organized. They do a lot for our community.
Clubs and Activities There are many different clus and activities. We have also any sport imaginable. We have great music and religious clubs as well.
Great for these types of students USI is a place for a student who is serious about their studies, but is also looking for a place to get involved.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One unusual placeis we actually have an art gallery. This is a place where you can see awesome art made by some of our very own artists.
Bang for the buck USI is a school that is not too big, but it is also not too small. There is a huge balance there. The housing is very nice and the campus is very clean.
What to do for fun Hanging out with friend is something we all do for fun. The Rec is aloso a nice place to hang and workout. The University Center is also a great place to hang whenthere is nothing else to do.
Food and Dining The food and dining here is pretty good. ther are quite a few choices, however, it would be great if they addeda bit more variety.
Dorm Life Dorm life is great. You really get to know the people around you. Italso helps that in our apartments we ahve a complete kitchen to deal with.
Academic Rigor There is a lot od academic rigor at this institution. There are many different outside of class programs offered to make sure students succeed at what they are doing.
Tips for prospective students My tip would be to manage your time. There has to be a balance between homework, social life and relaxation. Without this combination you will not succeed.
In three sentences USI is a very great school. The faculty and staff really want to see students excel. I really enjoy attending this fine University.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The safety is very well kept up and campus security drives around all the time. I get off work very late and I feel safe as I'm walking home each night knowing that security is looking after me.
Greek Life I participated in a sorority and I loved it, but towards the end I just found out it wasn't for me. All of the girls are super friendly and it's not all about partying, like most probably think. The girls participate in a lot of volunteer work, which I loved.
Clubs and Activities I love playing the intramural sports like soccer, softball, and volleyball. The outside sand volleyball courts are really fun when it's warm outside. Sometimes it's just fun to watch other people play, too. I love going to basketball games and rugby! I also enjoy the religious groups that they have on campus.
Great for these types of students USI is great for students who live a far. I live 5 1/2 hrs north and I have not once regretted going this far from school. I feel like this is my new home and I couldn't wait to come back my second year. It's also great for students who don't want a community college, but don't want a huge school either. I think it's perfect size!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The fountains are the prettiest part of campus! We also have a lake behind the LA building and it's always so pretty to walk past there in your free time or when it's warm outside. The campus is so gorgeous in the spring!
What to do for fun For fun I play sports, hang out with friends, walk on the beautiful campus, and go to my religious group. I also work.
Food and Dining I think the meal plans are over priced, but for my first year and for most of my second year I didn't have a car, so having the meal plans really helped ( seeing how I couldn't drive and go get food off campus ).
Dorm Life Dorm life is amazing! I met so many people through living in the dorm and it made my first year so much easier. I was so close to campus that if I woke up late, I'd still be on time for class. It also helps because you're so much closer to gym so it's easy to stay fit!
Academic Rigor Keep up on your studies and don't wait til last minute, especially when the weather starts getting nice. Usually people put off their homework or studying for their exams last minute and then they are forced to have to spend the rest of their day studying and usually that day happens to be a nice one where everyone is outside. I have only had one professor that I didn't like and it was an online class. My teachers have all been very helpful and wanted me to always succeed.
Tips for prospective students Meet new people because the more people you know the better your experience is at college. Experience dorm life at least once because that's where I met mostly everyone I know now and try to be involved, even if it's just one thing.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The Activity Planning Board (APB) plans all kinds of fun activities, like movies on the quad, dances and roller skating. Not too far from campus there is a movie theatre and the mall is only 20 minutes NE of campus.
Food and Dining I personally love The Loft, Salsa Rico, Cyclone Salad and SubCo. Burger King isn't too bad, but I honestly don't care for Archie's Pizza. The pizza doesn't taste good, and the food is really, really greasy.
Dorm Life You really develop close bonds with your dormmates. Most of my friends have become GREAT friends with their dormmates, though a few didn't get along very well at all. I suppose it depends on each persons personality though.
Academic Rigor I honestly have felt really challenged in most of my classes, but I love it. I generally have homework every night, but it's not impossibly hard and the instructors are so helpful when I get a little lost.
Tips for prospective students Make sure that you find out WHERE your classes are, not merely the building. Walk through the buildings you have classes in, familiarize yourself with their layouts and how you can get from class to class. Attend the free movies and other activities, you'll meet tons of new people and make new connections with people in your major!
In three sentences The professors are very open and welcome. USI also has a wonderful tutoring program in their education building. I absolutely love the campus layout, with the huge quad and dining in one area!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is big here, they always have people patrolling, throughout all of the night. They have the emergency buttons in several locations throughout campus.
Greek Life Greek Life is large at USI for being a smaller campus. With the choice of 7-8 frats, and 3-4 sororities, everyone seems to be in one.
Clubs and Activities USI has a great student staff who offer something to do every week, sometimes free, and sometimes that cost money to go to a ski resort for example.
Great for these types of students Anyone can find their place here at USI. Their are several different sororities and fraternities that offer a wide range of group of people.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They have one weird tradition that I know of, and that is on Valentines night, people try to sneak over to the water fountain-patio area, and kiss their girlfriend, or whomever at midnight.
Bang for the buck The school is a little pricey, but I think it is well worth the money.
What to do for fun Evansville is a college town. They have several things to do for the age group. While most kids are from around the area and go home, the ones who stay have a wide variety of bars, several restaurants, movie theaters, or anything else imaginable doing is offered in this city.
Food and Dining They do not have many choices for dining, but they do offer a dining hall that serves just about everything. They have a place called the c-store, something along the lines of a miniature grocery store that also serves and delivers food.
Dorm Life I did not live in the dorms, I lived in apartment housing. This is amazing however and definitely recommend it.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is very good here. It is a challenging program, yet the teachers will work with you and help you to pass the classes. They definitely want to see you achieve graduation and get your degree.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you ask about some of your teachers, as some of them need to retire from teaching.
In three sentences It is a very nice, clean school. The social life here is very alive and popular with several choices of a sorority or fraternity for being a smaller campus. The educational program here is great, with good teachers who are willing to work with the students.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There is a theatre close to campus and things on the other side of town. You would need a car to live here the bus system isnt the greatest.
Food and Dining All of the food is good and can be healthy on campus but, there's not alot to chose from.
Dorm Life I have not lived in a dorm
Tips for prospective students If want to be able to get to know your professors and have smaller class sizes this is the school for you.
In three sentences I think this is a great place to earn a degree. I have had a great experience here in Evansville, it's a small school but big enough for me. The campus is always clean and beautiful.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I feel that the campus is generally pretty safe. They have security around all of the time, and there are emergency polls all over campus. Also, Thursday through Saturday they have the police patrolling around the campus.
Clubs and Activities I love the International Club because it helps me to get involved with many people of many different cultures due to the fact that there are so many international students attending the university. There is a club for just about everything, and I'm sure if there isn't a club you want to attend, you could probably get with your friends and start your own club.
Great for these types of students Students who like to go to smaller schools and that like to live in a city that is not small and not big.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus People used to always put soap in the fountain on campus, and I have heard stories of how people would do other things to the fountain too like putting die in the water, but I think the school put a stop to it because it cost them too much money to clean it or something.
Bang for the buck I feel it is a good college to attend because it is cheaper to go here and you still get to have the great college experience without paying the extra money you would at say the University of California.
What to do for fun For fun people can join clubs on campus. There are many different clubs, even a Quidditch team. Also, there are many events on campus from seeing musicians to going to festivals, and it is a lot of fun.
Food and Dining I like that there are many places to choose from. I know at other colleges I have seen they do not have as many choices of where you can eat, so that give this college a hands up. I do think that there cafeteria could work on having better choices, and better portions during lunch time specifically.
Dorm Life Living on-campus is actually a lot of fun. I lived on campus for three semesters and it was a cool experience meeting new people, and having a convenient place to live close to my classes. Although I feel the rates for living on campus are getting a bit ridiculous, especially with the single style apartments.
Academic Rigor The University of Southern Indiana has a set of standards that are very reasonable. They are not too hard, but not too easy either. I feel it has a good variety.
Tips for prospective students Choose this college if you like a living in city that is not small and not big. Also, if you prefer a smaller campus size this college might be the college for you. USI also has a lot of international students so you should definitely think about that, if it is in your interest.
In three sentences The University of Southern Indiana is a great school. It has a small campus, but the people and teachers there are so nice and easy to talk to. The overall experience at this college is good because it's such a diverse school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security on campus is high and very well protected. The campus is very well lit and has many stations for emergencies. I never felt unsafe walking on campus even at night. The apartments are also very well secured and protected.
Greek Life Greek Life is available. I did not participate
Clubs and Activities There are several activities on campus such as intramural volleyball, softball and baseball. There are science clubs and academic clubs for all.
Great for these types of students University of Southern Indiana is great for the student looking for the larger student academic rigor without the large number of students.
Bang for the buck I considered private schools and some of the larger colleges such as Purdue and believe that University of Southern Indiana gives you the best value. All the private schools were twice as much and after speaking with a few of my friends they ae considering transferring.
What to do for fun Univeristy of Southern Indiana has a large selection of on campus fun. Each department is always doing something to ensure there are a variety of fun things to do to remain on campus. There are several weekend trips scheduled that allow you to be adventures without breaking the bank.
Food and Dining University of Southern Indiana provides a variety of food options for students. There are healthy selections such as salads along with pizza, subs and smoothies.
Dorm Life University of Southern Indiana provides one dorm for Freshman and the others are personal apartments. The apartments allow you to be safe but become your own person.
Academic Rigor Academics is challenging at Univeristy of Southern Indiana. I am currently enrolled in the radiology program and even though it is challenging it is what is needed to succeed in society today. Everyone needs a challenge and the professors are good at challenging you everyday. They are also there to help in anyway possible.
Tips for prospective students Consider University of Southern Indiana if you are looking for a large school curriculum in a small school environment. You are not just a number at the University of southern Indiana.
In three sentences University of southern Indiana is challenging. University of Southern Indiana provides everything a larger college does in a smaller atmosphere. University of Southern Indiana engages every level of student to achieve.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Everyday I walked to Ruston Dorms I saw a security car, they practically live on campus.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of different clubs at USI such as the Biology club to SGA. Their is a large varity of choices but activies are slightly low, they appear randomly throughout the months but nevertheless their are still some neat things going on campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus has a lake and some pond areas, one of the secluded areas is a gazebo and it is beautiful and cool to just sit down to take pictures in or read with somebody.
What to do for fun Hang out with people around the area, joining some clubs like quiddich club or chilling at the recreation center.
Food and Dining The food is good and their is a decent variety. But it can get old after awile, including the couple fast food places. We have a loft area where different food is brought in everyday and it helps with the variety so its not the same thing every day.
Dorm Life Depending on whether you live in the dorms or the apartments, living at USI can be great or not so great. I lived in the Ruston dorms my freshman years, I liked it a lot but the only downside is being unable to cook on a stovetop. Whereas at the apartments one can easily buy food and make a homemade meal.
Academic Rigor Most of the teachers are very friendly, I signed up for environmental sciences and many of the geology professors are very helpful and passionate towards what they do. I also met other staff members such as the University of Division department and was pleased to find so many peopole willing to help and guide students towards their future goals.
Tips for prospective students The campus is not too large, so it will only take a couple days to find your way around, but if lost, don't be shy to ask around their are quite a few friendly people willing to help out, including most students! Also don't skip class in first semester, it just goes downhill after the first couple times. Don't give up on yourself and keep a goal in mind to get you through the tough classes.
In three sentences The flowers blooming in spring and trees lined up all around campus throws out a sense of beauty and passion. The staff are friendly, kind and for the most part, passionate about their job. I feel sadness when I leave the campus because it has became my second home, University of Southern Indiana is beautiful, kind, and adaptable to many students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus life is completely safe their were never any fights or altercations on campus besides a few medical emergencies and security is always available if you need directions or help. The most dangerous part of being on campus is the the parking lot, which has been known to frequent some car accidents.
Clubs and Activities I was a member of the USI film club, where students who like movies or enjoy making them or being in them can participate in student made films which are shown later at a film festival, where they will be judged by audiences and selected committee.
Great for these types of students Great for students looking for a medium size college where their aren't an overwhelming amount of people. It's also a great place for people who want an affordable college where they can learn and focus on studying.
What to do for fun In the fall their is a Evansville Fall festival which offers a myriad of unhealthy food, such as deep fried snickers, brain burgers, frog legs. You can also go to many of the on campus events sponsored by campus clubs.
Food and Dining University of southern Indiana has some good choice of food to offer students. Burger king is located on campus at the university center along with a sub-connection shop which sells hot and cold sandwhiches. The best food in my opinion is in the campus cafeteria where they have actual chefs who make the food and it's freshly made.
Dorm Life I didn't stay in a dorm on campus but from what I heard, it was not a great place to stay. Their were numerous times when the power in the dorms went out and they had boil advisory's for the water. If possible find another place to spend your stay at.
Academic Rigor When you take any class remember that you are paying for it, in either your time or money. Don't waste your time giving half your effort, for a class do the best that you can do to make good grades, if you have trouble in a class don't be afraid to ask questions or seek help. Most times if you show a teacher that your working hard and trying to do good in a class they will remember that when grading your work.
Tips for prospective students I suggest always registering as early as possible, and finding out about good professors either online or from students who've taken similar classes. Also find out what books you will need for classes and try to rent them instead of buying them, it will save you alot of money. Get involved on campus, activities to help build a good resume and make networking connections. Make lots of friends, this seems trivial but the more friends you have the more people you have to help you, when you need to print, use a a computer etc.
In three sentences University of Southern Indiana is a quiet and gradually expanding university. It offers many general degrees to students, and has some great proffessors on it's staff. While the campus offers many opportunities for students, their are times when campus life can seem less than thrilling.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I always feel secure on campus at USI. There are a variety of trails that lead to campus from the apartments and I feel perfectly safe walking any one of them even at night. Security drives around 24/7 and keeps watch all over campus. There is also a variety of emergency buttons located in random locations around campus that you can push if there is ever a problem. My roommates and I often don't even lock our apartment door (not that I recommend that) but that's how safe I feel at USI.
Greek Life I personally don't participate in Greek life but those who do are really into it. There are a variety of fraternity or sororities you can join at USI. They have a process of recruitment each year and it is a big event. Of course it is a bit pricey to be involved in Greek life, but from what I've heard it's definitely worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The cone in the center of campus was just built this year and it is a building that makes USI unique. It's located in the University Center in the dining area but you can see it from all over campus. Soaping the fountain is a common tradition that many clubs and organizations find to be something fun to do. If you see soap overflowing out of the fountains on campus, don't be surprised.
Bang for the buck I definitely believe USI has great quality for the price, this is one of the main reasons I picked the school. Everything is so modern compared to other college campuses. It is definitely worth the cost.
What to do for fun Like previously stated, getting involved is a big part of having fun at USI. If you don't take the time to get involved in something, it could be very broing because nobody is going to force you to go do something. Joining sorority/fraternitys are always an option. There is also a variety of intramural sports you can participate in. You can sign up to go on monthly outings with other students to places like Garden of the Gods or Marengo Cave. There are also a few volleyball and basketball courts around campus that anyone can use to play ball with friends.
Food and Dining I have never had a meal plan simply because I can't afford it, though they do have a few different choices which are convienent. I can however put money (flex money) on my student ID and use it to pay for campus food which lets me not have to pay tax, like everyone with meal plans. There are more food choices on campus now that we have a salad place and a Mexican restaurant (Salsa Rico). They are also in the process of renovating the main place of dining (The Loft) which is a buffet so that it will be better. We also have a Burger King and Sub Connection. By the apartments at the Convenience Store they also make food such as chicken fingers and pizza, which is nice. The best place in my opinion on campus is the Starbucks located in the library. Like any college, the food could be better but it is not bad and is improving each year.
Dorm Life Though I personally never lived in the dorms as a freshman, I have seen them and they are some of the nicest and newest dorms I've seen out of any college campus. Definitely better quality than dorms at IU or Ball State. I have lived in the apartments both years that I've attended USI and though they aren't as new as the dorms, they are still decent size. The apartments are great because they have a kitchen and a living area and two bedrooms for four people. If anything goes wrong in the apartment that needs fixed, if you fill out a Fix My Home form online, someone will be there to fix it either that day or the next. The apartments are great and I plan to live on campus my remaining years at USI.
Academic Rigor The quality of education at USI overall I would have to say is pretty fair. It honestly depends on each individual teacher is what I have come to find out. There are some outstanding teachers at USI that could be teaching at Ivy League colleges in my opinion and then there are some who just aren't the best. I always have plenty of projects, papers and things to study though, so this is definitely a school for people who are devoted to their studies and is not much of a party school. Because USI is not super big, most teachers are willing to work with you and you can actually talk to them in person or at least email them and they will usually always help and answer questions.
Tips for prospective students To prospective students I would say to definitely try to have a pretty good idea of what you want your major to be and if questioning at all, start out with general studies. It can be frustrating and complicated changing majors and have taken classes that won't count towards your new major. Researching teachers (like on Rate My Professor) before signing up for classes is a must or you will end up hating your classes in most cases. I would also say to definitely participate in orientation to learn the basics of USI. Also, I recommend getting involved in something on campus, whether it be a sorority, a club or a religious organization such as Student Christian Fellowship (like me!) Being involved really helps with making friends.
In three sentences The University of Southern Indiana is a good college choice because you get great value for the money. The campus is not too small and not too big, in my opinion it is the perfect size. USI is growing and improving in many ways and is great for students who are serious about getting an education.

What to do for fun GET INVOLVED!!! The only way you will be bored is if you don't get involved. the school offers a wide range of organizations and activities to be a part of.

Food and Dining There is something for every one. If you have a meal plan or pay out of pocket remember to be wise with your finances.

Tips for prospective students Know who you are and what you main goal is. Keep an open mind. Get involved!!!!! Stay on top of academics and ask for help when you need it. Meet people and keep in touch with them. Don't expect to party all the time and don't risk your education by breaking any rules.

Clubs and Activities Many of Activities to get involved in. The main ones usually helps prospective students create their college life such AMIGOS, Multicultural Groups, etc. Activities such Springfest, Showtime at the Apollo, etc.
Great for these types of students Students live life just well for a year, but usually have to find a way to keep motivated because after a while living on campus gets boring.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Unusual locations are the locations a person is usually introduced to when on campus such as the Student Lounge, or better yet, the Carter Room.
Bang for the buck The campus is quite big in area. There are a lot of people a person will meet on campus. For a person who is unlikely to make friends in high school, is more likely to make friends quick at University of Southern Indiana.
What to do for fun The Rec center has a lot of activities. On campus there are events to attend during spare time. There are events daily, so time is never boring.
Food and Dining Food is great. There are a lot of options. The majority of the time the selection is quite wide.
Dorm Life A lot of party students, but not so much affects occur.
Academic Rigor As far as being just fair, the school is worthy enough to attend.
Tips for prospective students Work hard, study well and try to be the best at preparing, organizing and giving your best in classes.
In three sentences The University is decent, but the help students seek is not so well. The school instructors expects a lot of independent work. If a person goes to school to seek education, the education should be fair enough to help students in all aspects including the ones who aren't motivated.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The security on campus is amazing. Everywhere on campus there are the blue lights you can push if you feel you are unsafe, even on the trails on campus. You can call 7777 anytime to have them come by, and they even give you rides back and forth from campus and back to your dorm.
Greek Life The Greek life is amazing! They are against bullying and are against hardcore partying. They also are involved in great activities and philanthropies they volunteer for.
Clubs and Activities Like I have said, any and all student have clubs that they can enjoy! Even if you want to shoot zombies!
Great for these types of students Any student! I have seen all kinds of students all in love with this University.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One I am Vice President of is Humans Vs Zombies; it was started my freshman year by my friends and I, and it is basically freeze tag with nerf guns. The cone will be a familiar place if you visit the campus. It is a new addition to our UC. It is the tallest building on our campus, and is filled with several study rooms for students to hang out.
Bang for the buck Along with the FREE movies, REC, and Trail to Burdette, USI has many clubs; so many that each student can find one no matter what they are interested in. Plus the Greek life on campus is amazing. This campus is beautiful!
What to do for fun If you are the active type then the USI to Burdette Trail is perfect for the beautiful weather down in Evansville; it is a ten mile long trail. If you are not so big on outdoor activities but still want to work out the REC on campus is perfect for you; it contains xbox and wii games, ping pong, a rock wall yes a Rock Wall, full gym and weight room, as well as classes like Zumba. The REC as well as several clubs on campus are constantly offering things for us college students to do, like APB provides new movies before they come out on dvd free of charge.
Food and Dining The Loft was just renovated and adds a modern feel to the University. Manage your munch money and you will be set for the semester!!! The food quality in the Loft and at the various other restaurants are delicious for the student craving home cooking.
Dorm Life The dorms are huge! The dorms are in excellent condition and close to campus for freshman students! The apartments are a little further, but in excellent condition as well.
Academic Rigor The classes are challenging as well as interesting. Everyone hates taking classes out of their major, but the professors here make up for it. It is an excellent school to challenge yourself.
Tips for prospective students If you are a nursing major or anything in the health field get prepared for little to no social life. The library is everyone's best friend and not just for finals week. Manage your munch money and do not sleep the day away.
In three sentences Overall it is an excellent place to attend with a great atmosphere for a college student. However the advisers, depending on who you receive, are not very good at informing their students. But do not let a few bad seeds tarnish this beautiful university.

Categories Comments Campus Safety USI takes safety very seriously. There are emergency poles all over campus that with the pressing of a button security will be there ASAP. While standing at an emergency pole you can always see at least one more emergency pole.
Greek Life There are many sororities and fraternities at USI that you can join and help make a difference in the community while building a long lasting friendship with your new brothers and sisters.
Clubs and Activities There are so many clubs and activities available at USI. Clubs to help the community, or to just have fun. Whatever you can think of there is probably a club for it at USI. From Quidditch to Humans vs. Zombies there are so many fun clubs.
Great for these types of students Great for students who want a good education without paying the outrageous cost of other in-state schools. Great for students who like the small school feel where they feel like they truly matter to the school.
Bang for the buck Being the cheapest in-state school in Indiana going to USI is definitely the best bang for your buck you can get!
What to do for fun For fun you can go to the recreational building where you can partake in so many activities. You can: play basketball, play volleyball, climb the rock wall, play badminton, play pool, play ping pong, play video games, run, work out, rent Frisbees for the frisbee golf course, or even rent a bike.
Food and Dining The food and dining at USI is fantastic. With a meal plan you can get food from The Loft which is the schools cafeteria, but trust me when I say it does not taste like cafeteria food. The food you order is cooked in front of you and is always good. Other than the Loft there are several restaurants on campus. There is a: Burger King, Archie's Pizza, Sub Connection, Salsa Rico, Cyclone Salad, Red Mango, and a Starbucks.
Dorm Life Dorm life is a fun experience. You meet so many of your friends from your dorm. The dorms are all co-ed and are four people per suite. In each suite there are two bedrooms, a living or common room, and two bathrooms. Having your own bathroom in the middle of the night instead of having to walk down the hall to use a community bathroom is defiantly a plus.
Academic Rigor The courses at USI are challenging. If it wasn't challenging it wouldn't be worth doing though. With the education you receive from USI you will be glad that you toughed out the rigor courses.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students should do their best to get involved once on campus. Getting involved is so easy and it makes a wonderful difference in your college experience. There is a club fair in which you can walk around and look at a majority of the clubs and organizations offered at USI.
In three sentences The University of Southern Indiana is a great school with many majors offered. The class sizes are small and you feel a personal one-on-one relationship with almost every professor. The University of Southern Indiana is the cheapest in-state school in Indiana and is a fantastic school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus safety here at USI, is top notch, noone should ever feel that they are not safe, or cant do certain things because of safety issues. USI, is as safe as can be.
What to do for fun Go to the movies down the street, or to the mall, go see a gospel choir concert, or to a basketball game. There are soo many activities that go on at USI, that you should never be bored.
Food and Dining THE FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!!
Dorm Life Dorm life can be tricky, because you may never know what you are getting into, but it also forces you to create grown-up relationships, and to comunicate, and share. Wi-fi at USI, can be a pain in the behind, but there are so many facilities to work and study and do homework, you shouldnt have a problem getting away from dorm life to do what you need to do.
Academic Rigor USI academically is whatever you make it. No teacher will take time to help someone who is un-invested, lazy, or who doesnt want to learn. But, when you work hard, show up for class, and do your work, the academic side of USI can be a piece of cake, and the teachers ar every linient.
Tips for prospective students Dont be afraid to be afraid, because you ar enot alone. Home sickness with go away sooner than you know, and in the end all the days you feel like giving up will only make you stronger, and make your degree seem more worth something. Make friends, joing organizations, party, and enjoy being a college student, because some never get the chance.
In three sentences University of Southern Indiana is a place where friends can be made, and enemies can be too. Its also a place where education can send you on the right path, and its a place where life can cause you to burn bridges instead of build them. But one thing USI has that will help you through the tough times, is an amazing support system of faculty, and staff.

In three sentences The campus is beautiful, and every professor I have had so far is amazing at what they teach. There are no school traditions because the school is so young. It gets very boring on weekends, so if you are looking for a school with campus involvement- this is not the one.
