42% of our new students are transfer students I was worried when I came to SIUE that I’d have trouble finding friends, but I quickly found my group. It didn’t take me too long to know my way around the campus, and I really like how much nature there is to explore. I feel I’ve gotten an incredible education at SIUE.

siue.edu/housing

Our friendly, safe and modern upperclass housing options are just the right place for you to find support and meet lifelong friends. On-campus living is the best way to become involved in campus activities and provides quick access to your classes and campus resources.

Transfer students have three options for living on campus • Evergreen Hall features suite- and apartment-style living with the amenities of a residence hall.

Living units are available in four layouts and most contain private bedrooms.

• Cougar Village combines the advantages and amenities of living on campus with the freedom of apartment life, offering independent, traditional apartment living.

• Residence Hall Upperclass Wing is a suite-style wing set aside for upperclass students in one of the traditional first-year communities.

Located in Cougar Village, the Transfer Focused Interest Community (FIC) brings transfer students together in the same apartment buildings. Students living in the Transfer FIC will develop a support network of peers and receive assistance accessing campus resources. Additional upperclass FICs include Engineering, Health Professions and Honors.
