City Information
Bloomington
The terrain and the university are two defining elements that have shaped this Indiana town and its residents. The hills, forests, and lakes provide a valuable and well-protected haven. Hardworking Hoosiers quarried and milled the limestone, which is then used to create spectacular buildings and sculptures around the state and country. Students and professors come to Indiana University from all over the world, bringing their ideas and goals to a community that welcomes everyone.
The lakes and parks are excellent in the summer, with perfect weather and a notable absence of students during Indiana University's summer break.
Dining in Bloomington is next-level thrilling because of the experience that local restaurants produce in unison with their cuisine and beverages – the unique character, friendly service, and attractive ambiance.

That makes Bloomington's culinary scene so unique: it's local, varied, and pleasantly satisfying.
