You’ve worked hard to reach this milestone. Now, take your ambition even further at IU Bloomington, one of America’s premier public universities. Here, you will fuel your passions with top-ranked programs and gain the real-world experience needed to lead—anywhere.

Bloomington

Your new home

Bloomington offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and big-city energy. With a welcoming community of 80,000 people, it is easy to navigate by foot, bike, or bus as you discover the restaurants, shops, and scenic landmarks that make this city unique.

You will experience the full beauty of the American Midwest through four distinct seasons:

  • Fall — average temperature of 12°C
  • Winter — average temperature of 6°C
  • Spring — average temperature of 23°C
  • Summer — average temperature of 28°C

This seasonal transformation is one of the many reasons why our graduates feel such a strong bond with the town. Once you arrive, you become part of the Hoosier family: a global network of alumni who return year after year to visit their favorite local spots and connect with the next generation of IU Ï㽶ÊÓƵs.

Students host an international culture table featuring traditional items and parasols at a campus event.

Arrive at IU and find your place in a global family. Discover 200+ international and multicultural clubs or join a specialized Living Learning Center. Explore a safe, welcoming campus while tailored events and international Ï㽶ÊÓƵ programming keep your life outside the classroom as vibrant and supportive as your studies.
