Walk out of your new student housing on Old Shell Road and take a short drive into Downtown Mobile. Once there, you can discover the history of Mardi Gras at the Mobile Carnival Museum. Then, take in the breathtaking views of Cathedral Basilica from Cathedral Park, or spend time shopping in hip vintage joints like Joachim Street Antique Mall on Dauphin Street. Later, you can meet friends for an independent movie or opera production at Wynnsong 16. Spend your weekends at the 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center, and soak up the beautiful waterways, woods and wetlands with friends.

Your home at The Edge on Old Shell Road is less than 20 minutes on foot from class at the University of South Alabama, or a quick five-minute drive away. After a day at university, you can head home and park your car in a space on-site. Freshen up with a long shower in your private bathroom, then enjoy a quick snack at the breakfast bar in the kitchen with your housemates.

Later, you can let off steam in the cardio theater or walk over to Heroes Sports Bar & Grille to catch a game with friends. Then, chat with your neighbors as you relax on a lounger beside the pool, or watch the latest comedy in the poolside movie theater. If you feel like hitting the game station at any point, you won’t have to worry about the time – it’s open 24 hours a day.

For nights out, jump on the bus that passes by the apartment for a direct route to the bright lights of Downtown Mobile. Use it at the weekend to escape to the woodland trails of the Mobile Botanical Gardens, before taking in breathtaking views of Mobile Bay at Felix’s Fish Camp Grill.

When it’s time to get your head down, you can work quietly in the on-site internet café. Refuel with an outdoor cook-out with friends in the barbecue area at The Edge on Old Shell Road. After, you can finish any last-minute study prep at the desk in your room before diving into your roomy bed for a great night’s sleep.
