Reviews of University of Southern Indiana (College)

I was able to buy my first Ferrari after working at USI for 1 year. Our extra fees are ridiculous. Keep paying us kids.. the casino like atmosphere keeps me coming to work every day. Public USI salaries published Spring 2018: 1. Ronald Rochon = $221,824 2. Steven Bridges = $196,410 3. Mohammed Khayum = $174,592 4. Cynthia Brinker = $173,844 5. Ann White = $167,237 6. Zane Mitchell = $161,700 7. James Beeby = $151,110 8. Brian McGuire = $147,270 9. Andrew Wright = $147,270 10. Mark C. Benhard = $144,950 And those are just the top 10... there are many, many more above $100,000 that work here.

As a returning student, (I first attended college in 1972), I couldn't have had a better experience. The teachers I've had are easy to approach and knowledgeable. The students are friendly and accepting. Wonderful institution!

There are blessings in everything

Liberal college that teaches liberal agendas and not facts.

My experience as a first year student is great. there is an open and accepting atmosphere for all. those who wish to come and share their beliefs and differences of opinion is welcome. There are groups for everyone to join and if you dont like and enjoy someone or a group you can simply remove yourself. there is alot of freedom given to students as well as ever rising standards of academics and character. All in all, if you want a place to express yourself, or just a quiet smaller university, there is something for everyone and anyone here, if you wish to make it that way.

Got 2 different degrees there & loved it both times. Great education.

Rick Adams

I received a great education from USI. The facilities are very nice and the campus is beautiful.

Jasmeen Lindsey

My sister goes there and it is a very open campus and a lot of my friends go there the atmosphere is great.

A 250 lb. female student with a nose ring that looks like an alien could pop out of her abdomen at any second catches fries that another student is throwing into her mouth. A woman lays asleep in a hammock outdoors while a feral kitten licks barbecue sauce off her face. Is it the apocalypse? No. Is it hell? Close... It's the University of Southern Indiana. I love the fact that USI has only a 38% graduation rate and yet people keep paying them money even though they do not seem to intend to graduate. 38% is a lower graduation rate than most high schools in the United States. Does 38% sound like a well ran college? I love the fact that I can walk the campus of the University of Southern Indiana and see wildlife such as a feral raccoon or cat that would bite my finger off if I stuck it near the trash can it is eating out of. I love the fact that it is a short walk to any number of high fat fast food restaurants and high calorie sugary coffee shops on campus to drain even more cash from those students too lazy to make their own food. Some of the students are in the 250 pound range or higher, and I applaud that USI is one of the few colleges in the United States that requires that students pass a gym class to make certain that they survive to the end of their degree. A real gold mine, I love the fact that these kids keep paying out ridiculous amounts of fees and money when we never teach them much that they can use to obtain work. I love the fact that soon I will have bought my first Bentley from my work at the University of Southern Indiana. I love the fact that some of the students are able to find work as exotic dancers at night in Evansville, Indiana so they can afford to pay all the additional fees we charge for attendance. I love that you will see more fees added to your bill than almost anywhere else you could otherwise attend in Indiana. They have an application fee, services fee, counseling fee, $130 parking fee, $100 activity fee, extra fees for online courses, extra fees for graduate school courses.... We make MILLIONS each year off of the application fee alone!!!! I love that the University of Southern Indiana appears to be a business model which siphons money from students in order to fund administrative salaries. Only a small percentage of their students are employed in their field of study unless the 38% that graduate continue onward with more education. US News currently ranks the University of Southern Indiana as only "Between #128 and #165" in Midwestern Regional Colleges for 2018. However.... USI does have respectable Undergraduate Health Care programs, Business School and Civil Engineering School and for that I give them 2 1/2 stars for being half of a college.

This is a spectacular University amazing professors and cordial staff. Love the atmosphere and neatness all around. Amazing infrastructure.

Tyler Vox

Probably one of the few school campuses where I've seen a dog attack a woman. There is also a group of wild cats and racoons that have the run of the campus. One of the few colleges I've been to where they require students to take a gym class, but there is good reason for it. If you like your women several weight classes above your own, this place has quite a few. I graduated from here and went straight into bartending. It was all worth it.

Corey Dean

This is an excellent university.

Fanni Karolina Tóth

Most of the stidents I know from here are very accepting and welcoming. Great crowd!

Mariah Richardson

The best decision I've ever made was choosing this university to attend. Very helpful staff and professors. I'd do it all over again if I could.

Civil Engineering undergraduate degree here is challenging and rewarding. They offer the same undergrad civil engineering and engineering mechanics courses available at larger universities at half the price. In addition, ALL of my engineering, math and physics classes and labs were taught by professors, not TA's. ALL engineering professors will go above and beyond to help you learn and achieve your goals! I would recommend this university to anyone who wants an undergraduate degree in civil engineering. Unfortunately the degree will not be engineering specific. It will read, "Bachelor of Science in Engineering", regardless of your engineering major. They are working on becoming degree specific. Regardless, I would still attend this university again!

Slow, not willing to do anything, and has poor communication

You want specifics? Von Loewenfeldt, Dr Paula, endorsed political candidates on election day in front of the entire class of impressionable students,saying,"I'm not supposed to do this so this is off the record." Dr. Matthew Graham promoted atheism to his students, explained how great cursing is, at one point said,"The need for the military is questionable", while working in a job subsidized by the state to teach kids--uhhhh...well, that day we read a poem about a man jumping on a bar and sawing off his penis with a butter knife? He let us all know he was pro-abortion too. In a creative writing class, I fail to see why that is important, and it created a lot of tension. A lot. He repeatedly disrespected beliefs of those who possessed non-atheistic ideas. Let's see--I think advertising sex toy stores in the school newspaper when some kids who attend USI aren't even 18 years of age is very, very questionable. I don't know if they still do--that's something that had been in their paper two years ago. Even if it was removed, the fact that someone looked that over and thought it was okay for students is shocking. Professor Mary Lyn Stoll stated lies about the US government and when some of us who knew the truth tried to respond, she made us shut up, saying we didn't want to get into a political discussion. In fact, Mr. Graham did similar things, sneaking his world view into discussions and when some students became very offended and tried to respond to his out-of-line comments, he told them this was not the class to do it in. That's not even mentioning students who would scream at you if you did not agree with their politics. Hard to believe a school with all the government money coming in can only hire former hippies. This would not be a serious problem if not for the fact that so many students were very young and would believe anything their teacher told them. I'd heard about college campuses corrupting kids, and I've been associated with USI for over 30 years, but after attending myself, I have to say, it's shocking. If you possess traditional values, please, please, do not send your children to this place. It's not worth taking a chance.

Awesome school to attend at!

I have two daughters that attend USI. I have been very impressed with the advisors, especially in the nursing department. They have worked with my daughter through some hard years, allowed her to continue to press forward until she accomplished what she needed to get into the nursing program. She is now thoroughly enjoying the experiences she is having in clinicals and classes. Another area I want to share is how the counseling department, dean of students office and public safety cared for one daughter during a time when she was threatened. They worked quickly to protect her, give her the resources she needed and affirm her value as a person through some tough days. Financially affordable, quality education, caring people. Can't ask for much more than that!

I am employed at USI. It is joy to come to work every day. It is a beautiful campus. The university provides excellent education opportunities in all fields and everyone here works together to make top notch.

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from here... I learned more at my internships in a single year than my 4 years here. At the time I went, tuition was really cheap. I also worked for the school for a bit as student worker. I wouldn't recommend unless you want a cheap degree and that's all. Mind you, this is only for computer science. I can't comment on their nursing, engineering, business management, etc. I give it a 4 because of atmosphere, cost, location, and all the areas they have to run and bike! Their trails are beautiful. I would honestly give their CS program a 1 or 2 though.... I had a 3.75 GPA in CS btw

Mark Thompson

Both of my daughter's attend. Good school

kwschnautz

An excellent atmosphere, beautiful campus, and superb, caring faculty all make USI my favorite place to be!

David Bruce

I am currently an electrical engineering senior here at USI. The program is great. They are always looking to expand their available classes. The professors here are also very great. They are approachable and they genuinely care about their students.

Nice, open, and friendly campus

What is great about USI, is that no respectable employer will know this is literally one of the worst colleges in the United States. Therefore, even though a graduate, like me (class of 1999), learned nothing of value, employers will assume that USI is somehow connected to Indiana University. Now the positives. I actually made more money as a late night truck driver for the Evansville Courier, than my PHD professors made. I was told that these professors are paid hourly. In 1996, I made $12 an hour, some USI professors made less than $10 an hour. So, I always felt good these people were not the intelligentsia who can really pick winners & losers. Negatives, these teachers are very damaged people. When they discovered my mother was a PHD at UofL, I was put into a position of referral, then hammered on grades for not providing a referral. All-in-all, I was motivated to leave a review, because my bartender at Applebee's tonight said she had a bachelor's from USI. I, as well, have a bachelors. I lied, and somehow convinced my MBA college that USI was a part of IU. She just used her USI degree in Engineering to get a job, at Applebee's, as a bar tending engineer. Maybe go to Ivy Tech
