About Indiana University

Planted in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, this campus runs on city energy. Students step from class into a landscape of hospitals, studios, and start-ups, so hands-on learning feels routine. The university is known for strengths in the sciences, health fields, business, technology, and the arts, with a practical streak that favors real projects over showy talk.

Modern labs, collaborative libraries, and a lively student center anchor daily life; residence halls, commuter lounges, and a busy rec complex round it out. Support shows up in advising, tutoring, wellness care, and career coaching that taps employers across the city. Clubs, service days, and intramurals keep evenings full, while trails, museums, and pro sports sit close by. The culture is Midwestern friendly and get-it-done, with a long habit of pitching in through community engagement.
