Housing

Find the place where you belong

IU Indianapolis offers a wide variety of on-campus living options. You can choose to live in a historic residence hall, a suite, or even an apartment. 

You can also pick from more than a dozen residential based learning communities that give you the opportunity to live with other students who share your interests—including a number of science-focused options.

There are communities for first-year students as well as upper-level and even graduate students. No matter what you choose, you’ll have easy access to everything the IU Indianapolis campus offers and live in a supportive environment that helps you feel at home.

How to apply

If you’re interested in becoming part of one of these communities, you’ll need to complete the IU Indianapolis Housing Application and request a Residential Based Learning Community (RBLC) at the end of the form.

Housing applications are accepted beginning in January. On-campus housing is limited so you’ll want to apply as soon as the application is available and you are admitted to the university. Applications are processed in order of application date so applying sooner helps your chances of getting the assignment you prefer.
