Indiana University
Home of the Hoosiers.
Founded in 1820, just two years after Bloomington and Monroe County, Indiana University is at the foundation of this community. The beloved, renowned Cream & Crimson school brings in over 40,000 students each year, nearly doubling the city population. That youthfulness overflows into the downtown area, where students mingle with residents at the various restaurants and nightlife venues. The diversity of interests, ages, and nationalities positively impacts all aspects of the community, from the international restaurants to our annual festivals.
No matter your reason for visiting campus, you'll be sure to find an abundance of inspiration on the breathtaking Indiana University grounds.
