Evolve SUI - Storyboard Student Living

Live in a private apartment or share an with friends in this stylish student housing. Either way, you’ll live a block from class so you can afford to hit the snooze button one more time. With a magnificent national forest just 10 minutes to the south, you can spend your weekends going hiking and admiring the majestic views. Hike through the winding trails of Giant City State Park or pack a picnic lunch and trek to Cedar Lake for a splash in the sun. When you’re in the mood to shop, try University Mall, before enjoying a piece of lemon cream pie at Longbranch Café & Bakery.

You’ll feel right at home the moment you enter Evolve at SIU. This modern, purpose-built student complex has all the amenities you need to make the most of your university experience. Wake up in your spacious bedroom, then jump into a hot shower. Rifle through your built-in wardrobe and decide what to wear. Pour yourself a freshly brewed cup from your coffee machine and fix yourself some breakfast in your fully equipped kitchen. When it’s time to go to lectures, you’ll be an eight-minute walk to the University of Southern Illinois or get there in half the time if you cycle to class. With secure cycle storage on-site, you’ll know your bike is safe overnight.

Come home from campus and spend your afternoons enjoying the resort facilities back at Evolve at SIU. Play billiards with friends in the games room. Sweat it out in the cardio and weights centre, then hit the tanning beds to keep your warm summer glow. When the weather gets cooler, cosy up by the fire pit while you feast on a tasty barbecue dinner, then head inside to catch up on your reading in the comfy common lounge.

On game days, you’ll be close to the SIU Arena, home of the Saluki college basketball team and just a 10-minute walk to Saluki Stadium, where you can cheer on the college football team. Afterwards, head to PK’s to quench your post-game thirst. You’ll find it’s just a six-minute walk back home to Evolve at SIU.
