REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingYou 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.
Shannon from Bloomington, IN
USI is absolutely outstanding in every area. I am a freshman and I love going to the gym and using the free personal trainers. I also love all of the resources that are available to help get good grades such as Academic Skills.
Allison from Coatesville, IN
The University of Southern Indiana is a great way to receive a quality education at an affordable price. The on-campus apartments give you the feeling of independence while still having the college experience. The small campus size makes you feel welcome while placing an importance on academics.
Sarah from Fort Wayne, IN
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.
Stacie from Lebanon, IN
The University of Southern Indiana is a beautiful small campus which is easy to navigate. The campus is very clean and well kept. The professors are very knowledgeable, easy to contact, and genuinely care about the students.
Alyssa from Ellettsville, IN
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.
Heather from Oblong, IL
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.
Katelynn from Kokomo, IN
The Campus is very pretty and everything is very easy to locate. They are very helpful when it comes to asking questions about classes, etc. they are welcoming when it comes to the campus and where to go and what to do.
Miranda from Olney, IL
I never expected to love USI since it was a last minute decision, but it's growing on me! Really great school for the price.
Anon from West Indy
USI is a wonderful school academically and socially. The professors and faculty here are dedicated to ensuring we receive the best education and will be prepared for our careers once we graduate. It is also just a wonderful environment to be a part of with so many great people on campus to make friends and tons of organizations and clubs that offer fun and exciting events.
