Editor's note

More than 40,000 students attend Indiana University, and it can be scary enough to start out at a campus this big when you’re coming from a town just a few hours away. Coming to a completely different country can be terrifying.

But it can also be incredibly exhilarating. We hope you’re excited to begin your time at IU. To make the transition easier, we’ve gathered everything you need to know into one handy guide.  You can find information about settling into Bloomington, picking the best place to eat and experiencing the wealth of cultures in this small Midwestern town.

Hopefully, Bloomington will soon feel like home.

Welcome to IU!
