It's different here. Bloomington is a small Midwestern city with a downtown square and tree-lined streets. But it’s unique to other towns in Indiana and the Midwest. It’s home to Indiana University, where students and faculty from around the world flock, in large part because of our progressive attitudes.

We accept people for who they are, and more importantly, we help them become who they want to be. We give, support, share, and open our minds and hearts to anyone who joins our community, whether it’s for a day, for several years, or for a lifetime. You’ll find all the typical mid-sized town things to see and do, but you'll also find some distinctly atypical things. You’ll find that it's different here, and we predict that you'll like it, too.
