This page provides information about on- and off-campus housing options. Finding and reserving permanent housing takes time, so we urge you to investigate your options now. You have the choice of choosing on-campus or off-campus housing. If possible, reserve housing before your arrival.
On-campus housing is found through the Department of Residential Programs and Services (RPS). On-campus housing is convenient, cost effective, and simple to reserve.
In order to be able to secure the kind of housing arrangements you desire, i.e. number of rooms, amenities, location, etc., you should contact RPS as soon as possible to make arrangements. If you are traveling with dependents, RPS will want to know your arrival date and the number of persons in your family. You can find more information about on-campus housing and start the application at the RPS website. All questions about on-campus housing should be emailed to RPS at housing@indiana.edu.
Although residence hall rooms are furnished, there are some supplies you will need to bring with you or purchase once you arrive in Bloomington. Click here for a list of recommended supplies from RPS.
Note to undergraduates: If you are planning to live on campus, you may want to consider one of IU’s Living-Learning Centers that have an international focus: Foster International, The Global Village, and Kelley Living Learning Center! For more information, please visit this page.
Incoming first-year undergraduates are required to live on campus. Please read the policy.
Graduate students may prefer to live in University Apartments or Willkie Residence Hall, as these accommodations may be more suitable to the graduate student lifestyle. As mentioned above, please refer to the RPS website for more information and address all questions to housing@indiana.edu.
Accommodations available off-campus include furnished and unfurnished apartments, houses, townhomes, and single rooms within houses for rent. Some of the advantages to living off-campus include saving money by sharing the cost of housing, utilities, and food with roommates; having a kitchen in which to cook your own meals; and being able to stay in your apartment or house during breaks and vacations. We would suggest looking at the following websites to begin your search for housing before your arrival to Bloomington:
If you have any questions about housing, please contact the Office of International Services.
