A classic college town.

You’ll also find our campus and the surrounding community to be a fun and diverse place where higher education, local establishments, and the city population combine to create one of the best college towns in the U.S.
A diverse and inclusive atmosphere
We’re committed to promoting an atmosphere of equity and inclusion on our campus, taking a proactive stance on preventing bias incidents through education, awareness, and a culture of honesty and trust. We’ve provided a set of resources to help our international students understand the context of current events in the U.S. and what IU Bloomington is doing to make the campus safe and welcoming.

IU Bloomington’s unmatched number of academic programs and learning opportunities make it possible to carve out your own unique path to a meaningful career, while genuinely caring and involved faculty and an extensive variety of welcoming student clubs and organizations make it easy to find your place in the larger Hoosier family.
And not to mention: More than half of IU Bloomington students earning a bachelor’s degree graduate without student debt.
More to consider
- 61% of 2022–23 bachelor’s degree recipients at IU Bloomington graduated without student debt.
- Students admitted to IU Bloomington have an average high school GPA of 3.90 (out of 4.0).
- 41% of 2023 freshmen went to high school outside Indiana, and 5% are from outside the U.S.

I feel like IU really does a good job of making sure you’re on the track to success by providing different tools, but there’s also enough leeway to have a personal life and to do all the things that you want to do and explore.
