Indiana University Bloomington Campus

Founded in 1820, IU Bloomington is the flagship campus of Indiana University’s eight campuses statewide. Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of IU Bloomington and its world-class contributions in research and the arts.

Vibrant Culture

Bloomington, Indiana, is the arts and cultural hub of the Midwest. While IU’s amazing arts and entertainment offerings play a large role in the city’s cultural atmosphere, Bloomington is extraordinary in its own right. Bloomington residents and IU students, faculty, and staff form a vibrant, active community that benefits from the metropolitan qualities of a large city and the easy pace of a small town.

Breathtaking Campus

The Bloomington campus is a careful blend of traditional and modern architecture set in a park-like environment.  Opportunities abound to run, walk or meander alongside streams, through woods, and along tree lined paths.  We invite you to preview some of the scenes that await you by taking a virtual campus tour!
