Beyond The Gates
Welcome, Hoosiers!
Bloomington is thrilled to welcome our newest class of the Cream & Crimson and to welcome back returning students! IU's Office of First Year Experience Programs, Downtown Bloomington Inc., and Visit Bloomington invite students to explore Bloomington beyond the Sample Gates.
From restaurants to annual festivals to nightlife and more, the city has so much to offer. Take the time to explore your first weekend of the school year —and maybe make some new friends!
Kirkwood Ave, the Square, and 4th Street restaurants are all within walking distance of IU's campus — click below for more ideas!
