Housing Options

On-campus urban living

The best way to fully experience student life at Indiana University Indianapolis? Live on campus. Not only will you be steps away from your classes and student activities, but you’ll also be near world-class arts and culture, sports, recreation, shopping, and dining in downtown Indianapolis.

Most of all, you’ll connect with your fellow Jaguars and form friendships—and memories—that will last a lifetime.

Prefer to live off campus? That's okay too. Indy offers a ton of great options, including several just a few blocks from campus. 

The choice is yours. All IU Indianapolis students can apply to live on campus or live off campus with friends, as well as at home with family.
