WELCOME TO BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA

There are two defining characteristics that have shaped this Indiana town and
its people: the land and the university. The hills, forests, and lakes provide a
sanctuary; one that is valued and protected. The limestone is quarried and
milled by hard-working Hoosiers, and turned into beautiful buildings and
sculptures throughout the area and the nation. Students and faculty from across
the country and the world flock to Indiana University, bringing ideas and dreams
to a community that embraces them all. It’s a place that nurtures artists
and scientists, farmers and philosophers, athletes and musicians. It’s a
community of aspirations and inspirations, a breeding ground for
transformations. Welcome to Bloomington.
