Visit IU

Let us show you IU

It only takes one visit to IU Bloomington to realize this is your place. That’s because you’ll find an inspiring setting, high-tech classrooms and labs, gorgeous arts venues, and plenty of grand spaces like the Indiana Memorial Union or Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall where you can join other Hoosiers in spirited activities. And within all of these spaces is a welcoming and supportive community. Visit options include on-campus experiences and virtual programs, all designed to show you what IU has to offer and what life is like when you’re a Hoosier.
