Top Ten Reasons to Live at Uptown East - No. 7, The 2:00am Workout Club

7)  The 2:00am Workout Club

When most others are fast asleep - the 2:00am Workout Club can be found listening to pounding techno beats, climbing feverishly through round three on the elliptical machine.  Who says there's not enough time in the day to workout?  The 2:00am Workout Club doesn't make any excuses - whether they're itching to hit the treadmills after a few rounds at The Franklin House or they've been up all night studying at the Uptown Cafe; there is always time to log a couple miles and burn off that burger you ate for lunch.

Top Ten Reasons to Live at Uptown East - No. 8, Location, Location, Location



8) Location, Location, Location

The Uptown East is located just across LaPorte Avenue from the beautiful Valparaiso Campus.  For a student at Valpo; the location can not be beat - apartment-style living within a stone's throw of the University's tennis courts and Union.

Walking distance of downtown; a Coffee Shop on-site...  why live anywhere else?

Top Ten Reasons to Live at Uptown East - No. 9, Uptown Café



9)  Uptown Café

Running late?  The Uptown Café is a life-saver.  Plenty of breakfast options, as well as impressive pesto pizza and other specialty sandwiches at very reasonable prices.  VU students get a 10% discount - so make sure you flash your student ID to cash in on the savings.  They carry Evelyn Bay Brand coffee - if you like a bolder roast, give their traditional americano a try.  Open late, the Uptown Café is a great spot to hit the books.  Hooray for Uptown Café!
