The Southwest Area Experience
Residents of the Southwest Area love all that it has to offer. With large anchors at either end–Willard has the Engagement Center and Fran’s Cafe while Foster-Walker has the dining halls and package center–the Southwest Area also has smaller buildings. All residents enjoy being steps away from downtown Evanston, whether their favorite spot is Colectivo Coffee or CVS.
The Southwest Area in Photos
Students, families, and alumni who want to feel connected to the Southwest Area can keep up with us on Instagram. You’ll find pictures of what is going on, including flyers for upcoming programs and photos of events, especially of Snacks by Southwest. One of our most popular features is #flatpearfriday, which includes a photo of Pear the Hedgehog, our friendly mascot, in a Southwest Area or campus spot. Look for it on occasional Fridays!
