Stadium Walk near Georgia Southern stadium and campus
Stadium Walk apartments are located in eyesight of Paulson Stadium. The apartments are not on campus but very close. The Georgia Southern bus system runs in front of the apartment complex and it is close enough that students can walk to class
This complex is one of many around the university that have fallen into ill repair. Due to this, they are affordable. Because of this there is a mixture of students and citizens living in the complex. This complex is not all student housing. SPD has now confirmed that Diaz was not a student.
