Campus Living 101: Spring Semester Week Four

2024-2025 HOUSING

Now is the time to be making a decision about campus housing for the 2024-2025 academic year and you may be asking yourself "Should I move off campus or not?"

Choosing where to live is one of life's most important decisions. Students should consider several factors when determining what is the best fit for their housing needs: budget, lifestyle, proximity to campus and job, transportation, safety, and access to resources.

We encourage you to discuss your options with family and friends to make an informed decision on a living environment that will contribute to your academic success, health, and well-being.

Visit the Helpful Links to assist you in your decision making and the application and roommate group process.

If you have questions about housing, please email living@usi.edu or call 812-468-2000.

MAIL AND PACKAGES

New for Spring 2024

Housing residents can view when they have mail or packages waiting for them at the HRL office. Log into the Housing Portal to view mail and packages history and those ready to be picked up.

Emails are sent when staff log mail and packages. Be sure to check your junk folder if you think you should have received an email.

IMPORTANT

Housing residents should NOT use the 839 Pruis Lane address for food or grocery deliveries. Those should be delivered to resident apartments or residence halls. Residents should be at their residence to receive such deliveries.
