It’s a beautiful day in every IU neighborhood
What’s your style? Preppy? Artsy? Hipster? At IU, you’re sure to find a residence hall and dining options that fit you to a T.
Live the college dream on campus
We have plenty of traditional residence hall options, with shared rooms, communal living spaces, and handy food courts.
You’ll also find apartments for those who need some space, private rooms for those who tend toward the introverted side, and co-op kitchen facilities for those who want to cook their own food.
To make sure you get the most out of your IU experience, first-year undergraduate students are required to live on campus.
Find your place in a learning community
Whether you want to live in an environment that emphasizes academics or you just want to share space with people who share your passions, you’ll find what you’re looking for in our learning communities.
You can choose from 20 communities. Each offers specialized programming and, best of all, people who understand you.
