University of Southern Indiana - ESLI

"When I came to the United States I 
could only speak a few phrases and 
I wondered if I would ever be able to 
handle the English language. The 
teachers at ESLI gave me all the 
attention that I needed and now I 
feel confident in my ability to 
become proficient in English."

Muhammad Akhsan

"I was very nervous about leaving 
home for the first time. When I arrived, 
the staff and teachers at ESLI gave me 
a lot of comfort and understood my 
fears. They made my transition to the 
United States easy for me."

Location

The University of Southern Indiana is located in Evansville, Indiana, the state's third largest city.  Located on the banks of the mighty Ohio River, the city has long been the cultural and economic center of the region.  As a USI student, you will be living in one of "America's Safest Cities" according to Money magazine.  The Evansville metropolitan area is home to approximately 300,000 residents.

USI offers a suburban atmosphere with inviting walkways and grassy, tree-lined spaces.  Academic buildings, administrative offices, and the University Center are located west of the main drive.  University housing is situated on the northeast and south sides of the campus within walking distance of all campus buildings.  Free shuttle buses run from housing to the center of campus. 

Evansville is a comfortable drive to major metropolitan areas such as Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville and St. Louis.

Campus

USI is a state-assisted, four-year university in Evansville, Indiana, founded in 1965 with over 10,000 students from Indiana, 32 states and 33 countries.  The University of Southern Indiana has a student/faculty ratio of 18:1.  Teaching matters most at USI.  Most classes have 25 or fewer students, so students and faculty develop a close working relationship, which is not always possible in some university settings.
