Living the dream
There’s a reason our campus is constantly winning accolades for its beauty. It is breathtaking.
Every section of campus has its own list of treasures. Soak up the sun at the Arboretum. Dip your toes in Showalter Fountain. Or tour the Collins Living-Learning Center and pretend you’re at Hogwarts.
Everyone here has a favorite place. It won’t be long until you find your own.

When you become a Hoosier, you join a passionate, energetic, driven family.
Hoosiers study hard, play hard, and live life to the fullest.
Be part of the hysteria
Hoosiers take athletics seriously. Whether you’re watching football, basketball, or any of the 22 other team sports at IU, you’ll notice that the stands are a sea of cream and crimson.
And while every Hoosier fan prefers to win, in the end it doesn’t matter. It’s all about supporting your team—and being part of something bigger than yourself.

You can't miss the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU). It stands at the center of campus—and in many ways, serves as the center for student life at IU.
You can entertain yourself for hours within its walls. Get some coffee from Starbucks. Get your hair cut at the salon. Or get some studying done in one of the many nooks and crannies of this historic building.
If you're in the mood to play, the IMU has you covered. You can play billiards, go bowling, watch a movie, or just sit and relax in front of the crackling fireplace.
