And step out of your comfort zone during your free time

This is your chance to take risks in every facet of your life, whether you’re deciding where to live or how to spend your Saturday nights. While you’re a student here, you have carte blanche to jump in and try as many new things as you want.

It doesn’t matter whether the leap you take leads to success or failure. Either way, you’ll learn something valuable about yourself and take another step on your journey toward transformation.

Live large

Apply to live in one of IU’s 22 academic, thematic, and living-learning centers. While some are exclusively for freshman students, many are open to students at every level.

Each community has a unique focus on subjects ranging from general academic scholarship and leadership to outdoor adventures and even sexual identity.
