Location<br />

The <strong>University</strong> of <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> was founded in Evansville in 1965.<br />

USI is a comfortable drive from the major metropolitan centers of<br />

<strong>Indiana</strong>polis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, and St. Louis.<br />

The Campus<br />

The Health Professions Center, Science Center, Wright Administration<br />

Building, Education Center, and Orr Center are located on the north<br />

side of campus. Rice Library, <strong>University</strong> Center, Liberal Arts Center,<br />

Technology Center, and Business and Engineering Center (now under<br />

construction) form the quadrangle in the center of campus. The Physical<br />

Activities Center and the Recreation, Fitness, and Wellness Center are<br />

located east of <strong>University</strong> Boulevard, a major thoroughfare through<br />

campus. Apartment buildings and residence halls are home to 2,800<br />

students who live on campus.<br />

Academic Life<br />

The <strong>University</strong> enrolls 10,516 students and offers undergraduate majors<br />

in 70 areas of study. An ever-increasing number of post-graduate programs<br />

also are available to students who wish to continue their education,<br />

including a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. Opportunities are<br />

available for service learning, study abroad, and internships.<br />

Campus Life<br />

Outside the classroom, students have opportunities to participate in<br />

more than 90 organizations offering co-curricular and extra-curricular<br />

activities. Special interest clubs, student government, sororities and<br />

fraternities, music and drama groups, and other organizations enable<br />

the students to enjoy and contribute to campus life.<br />

Residence Life<br />

Students living on campus have their choice of two types of housing.<br />

Students can live in standard apartments or in suite-style housing in<br />

residence halls which have amenities such as Internet connections,<br />

wireless Internet, and cable television. Computer labs, laundromats,<br />

a convenience store, outdoor and indoor recreation areas, and student<br />

lounges contribute to an efficient living environment that has proven<br />

to be overwhelmingly popular with students. Meal plans also are available<br />

at the <strong>University</strong> Center, which is located in the center of campus.<br />

Financial Assistance<br />

USI provides families with an affordable way to a higher education.<br />

While some families find that they can handle the cost of a USI<br />

education without financial assistance, others qualify for need-based<br />

financial packages, including grants, loans, and on-campus jobs.<br />
