August 18, 2025

Welcome to the First Week of the Fall Semester!
For many of you, this marks the beginning of your college journey — and we’re excited to have you here at USI! Each week, we will provide helpful information to guide you through college life, including campus events, resources, services, updates, and important policies for living on campus. Be sure to check it out every week to stay informed and make the most of your experience. Wishing you a successful and exciting fall semester!

Roommate Expectations

Our residents come from diverse backgrounds, and we expect everyone to be open to living with people who may be different from them.

At the start of the semester, all roommates will complete a Roommate Agreement to set expectations around cleaning, guests, communication, and more. Be honest, respectful, and open-minded during this conversation.

You don’t have to be best friends with your roommate, but you should aim to be friendly and considerate. If you're rooming with someone you know, make an effort to include any randomly assigned roommates.

If issues come up, talk to your RA early — they’re here to help.

It's not your grandma's bingo!

Connecting to Wifi

USI provides wireless and wired internet access in housing. Residents should bring their own ethernet cord. Students are welcome to use their preferred streaming services and devices to watch favorite shows, movies, etc. 

Mailing Address, Packages & Deliveries

All mail and packages are delivered to the HRL office, not your room. To avoid delays or returns, make sure you use the correct address format and check your email for pickup notifications.

Grocery & Food Deliveries
Orders should be delivered directly to your room/building — not the HRL office. The HRL office does not accept food or grocery drop-offs.

Stay on top of your deliveries so nothing gets lost or returned! 

Campus Shuttle

USI and METS (Metropolitan Evansville Transit System) provide bus transportation on campus and to the Eagle Plaza and Schnucks Transfer Terminal for USI students. There is no charge for students providing a valid University ID (Eagle Access Card).

Laundry

Laundry facilities in O'Daniel South, residence halls and the Community Center use coins or the Eagle Access Card. The laundry rooms in McDonald East use coins or the CSCPay app. Currently, the cost to wash is $1.50 per load and to dry $1.25.
