Indiana University is part of the Big Ten conference and offers the same atmosphere exclusive to that group of universities. The campus is quite large, but easily navicable. Start your visit in the Old Crescent section of the campus, at the Sample Gates on Indiana Avenue. Here you see some of the first university buildings that now house classrooms and administrative offices. As with most of the campus buildings, the limestone exteriors reflect the abundance of this stone in central Indiana.
Nearby is the Indiana Memorial Union, one of the largest student unions in the world. Inside you find lounge and study areas, a bookstore, bowling alley, billiards area, hair salon, hotel, several restaurants, and more. To experience a taste of student life, stroll through here on a week day to find students studying, napping, and socializing.
Other highlights of the campus include the Musical Arts Center(MAC), Lilly Library, and Assembly Hall. The MAC hosts operas and other musical performances, all the result of the music school which is generally ranked first in the country. The Lilly Library houses a collection of rare books, including a Gutenburg Bible. The Assembly Hall, on the northern part of campus, is where the men's and women's basketball teams hold their games. The gym is often open, and you can see where Bobby Knight led many teams to success.
The size and scope of Indiana University offer activities for every interest, including athletics, art, music, theater, and much more. The campus itself makes a trip to Bloomington very worthwhile.
