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.

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.
