SOAR On-Campus Housing in University Residence Halls

Parents and students are housed in different buildings.  Students will be housed in one of our traditional residence halls.  Parents will be housed in either a traditional residence hall or North Hall, one of our apartment facilities. 

  • Each of our housing units are equipped with community restrooms and showers.  They are located in a common area of each floor of the residence hall.  Men and women’s facilities are located on different floors. 

  • We highly recommend that you bring your own alarm clock, as we do not provide wake-up calls. 

  • Sheets and towels are provided.  You will need to bring your own pillow, blankets, toiletries, etc.  You may also wish to bring a robe. 

  • Parents who designate “single” lodging will be housed by themselves, unless otherwise requested.  All rooms have twin beds. 

  • Note:  On-Campus housing is not available for parents during SOAR III

Hotel Accommodations

Parents may choose to stay at an area hotel during the SOAR weekend.  Please note that the City of Evansville will be hosting major conventions that will dominate the hotels in the area during June and August 2008.  If you are planning on attending SOAR 1 or 2, housing for parents will be available on campus.  If you are planning on attending SOAR 3, housing for parents will not be available on campus; therefore, parents must obtain alternative housing during this time. 

All students are required to be on campus by Saturday, August 23, 2008 for Welcome Week and campus move-in.  If parents need hotel accommodations please make sure reservations are made as soon as possible for these dates.  Please see the hotel insert in the SOAR packet for helpful accommodation information or go to the following website for additional information: http://www.evansville.edu/docs/area_hotels.pdf.
