Why Indianapolis
Truly, the best of both worldsYou’ll love Indy
We try to avoid cliches, but being located in the heart of Indianapolis truly is the best of both worlds for our students. You get the advantage of a small, caring campus community with the nation's 17th-largest city literally in our backyard. And whether you like an eclectic arts scene or the thrills of athletic competition, you’ll find what you’re after when you venture off campus.
Staying in the Loop
As Indiana’s capital, Indianapolis is a bustling government center, providing learning opportunities as well as chances to be engaged in politics. You’re surrounded by all kinds of opportunities to grow and emerge greater, including internships, experiential learning, museums, music, culture, service, and more. Here you can cultivate your passions, enhance your education, and take advantage of being an active part of the Midwest’s second-largest city. Indianapolis is an easy city to navigate by car, and it’s just a short drive to the nation’s #1 airport, Indianapolis International.
Explore our city
As a UIndy student, you’ll be so close to exceptional entertainment, culture, and recreation. One day you could be admiring a famous piece at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and then the next day be losing your voice at an Indianapolis Colts game. Maybe you’ll be noshing in Fountain Square or getting out to zip through the trees like Tarzan at Eagle Creek Park. From auto racing and basketball to symphonies and rock concerts, you'll find your favorite spots in Indianapolis.
