At University Place, you’re just a short walk from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus. Meet your friends downtown after class, where you can grab a sweet potato biscuit breakfast and espresso at Black Café, before exploring the universe in the Lafayette Science Museum planetarium. Cheer on the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns at a baseball game before heading down to the Cajundome for a live concert or ballet. Or take a day to explore the nearby Acadian Village, where you’ll experience rich 1800s history and a taste of authentic Cajun living.
At University Place, the walk into the center of the campus takes around 20 minutes, giving you plenty of time to take in the views of Youth Park on your way to class. On weekends, take a short drive or relaxed walk over to the nearby Girard Park, for a picnic with friends or some exercise on the outdoor workout station. If you’d rather head downtown, take your car and store it in University Place’s on-site parking facility at the end of the day. For a leisurely morning closer to home, you’ll love stretching out in one of the pool-side cabanas, before diving into the water head-first for a dip to cool off. You can fill your evening with a cookout under the stars, or a late supper on the outdoor picnic benches, which is the perfect spot for making new friends with your neighbors. Before a night out, you can meet them on University Place’s courtyard.
Back at your furnished one or two-bedroom apartment, you’ll have plenty of time to socialise and relax. Grab a snack from the kitchen, and sit down on the sofa in the living area to eat while you watch your favorite TV shows. Later, you can find a quiet study space in the on-site cyber café to work on your latest college assignments – and when you’re done, you can print your paper for free. Rest assured there is a 24-hour emergency maintenance team to help you if you have any problems.
