Step out of your student housing and walk the forest trails in the vast urban green space of Overton Park. Stop at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in the park to check out an exhibition or grab a coffee. Plan a canoe trip with friends on the Memphis River and see the city skyline from the water as you paddle your way along the winding river. Feast on the finest soul food and barbecue at favorites like Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, or eat breakfast locally at Brother Juniper's. Spend evenings listening to live blues or rock at one of the many bars and clubs on Beale Street.

Head out your door a couple of minutes before class when you live just blocks from the University of Memphis. Living on the east side of the city and the Memphis River, you’re about 15 minutes’ drive to downtown shops, bars and restaurants, or 45 minutes on the bus away if you want to leave your car at home. There are lots of essentials in your local area, so you can hop on your bike and cycle to pick up dinner or groceries.

Come home in the afternoon and sit under a sun umbrella at the tables in the courtyard of The Stratum as you catch up with fellow students. Take your notes to the computer lab or cyber café and get on with your revision, or study in your room if you want total focus. Your fully furnished apartment has everything you need and you can choose from a studio all to yourself or a shared apartment, which can come with patios to sit out on and enjoy the warm breeze as you eat.

Take a break and jump on the cardio equipment in the fitness center, or lounge on the sofas in the bright media room. Put a load of laundry on to wash using the full size washer dryer while you take a nap so you’ll be fresh for an evening study session. If you’re having trouble working out the secure access parking or keyless entry there’s an on-site management team who’ll be able to help. Even budgeting is made simple with all inclusive monthly rent that covers all your utilities, internet and cable.
