3rd street apartments: Student Housing & Amenities

The 3rd Street Apartments, along with the French Quarter Apartments, are part of the University-Owned Apartment properties managed by Vincennes University. They offer a living style that bridges the gap between traditional dorms and off-campus housing.

• Gender Layout: These properties may be co-ed, meaning the overall townhome or duplex building can house mixed genders, and individual units can be mixed-gender if the students mutually apply to live together.

• Amenities:

  • Dining: Having a full kitchen, a meal plan is not required, though students can still purchase one if desired. Because a meal plan is not required, the university can offer these properties at a lower monthly price compared to the full room and board cost of a residence hall.

  • Common Areas: They offer a variety of floor plans, with options ranging from 4 bedrooms up to 7 bedrooms in a single unit. This allows for larger groups of friends to live together and create their own "living-learning community".

  • Technology: Major appliances are provided for tenant use: a refrigerator and an in-unit washer and dryer.

  • Utilities Included: The monthly cost typically includes the following utilities: Trash service, Water service, Electric.

• • • Students are responsible for their own Internet, cable, and phone services.

  • Contract: The standard contract runs from August 1 to May 31 of the academic year.
