Bloomington is known as the home of Indiana University. Students, faculty and researchers from all over the world have called Bloomington home over the years. While the university often brings people to town, it is the culture and physical landscape that often keeps them around or has them coming back. Bloomington has a variety of arts and culture institutions and performance venues. It also boasts great dining and night life options. When food, drink and a show are not on your to-do list, the Bloomington area is nestled among some of Indiana’s best outdoor activity areas, including Lake Monroe, McCormick’s Creek State Park, Hoosier National Forest and Brown County State Park.
