2024-2025 HOUSING

Deadlines to be able to participate in February Room Selection are fast approaching!

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.
