Indianapolis is mostly a nice quiet city. The downtown (which is very close to IUPUI) has a lot going on. Theater, museums, sports events (we have the Pacers and the Colts,. plus a minor league baseball team, all downtown). Another place where college students go for night life is Broad Ripple, on the east side on Indianapolis. There are 3 other small colleges in town: Butler Univ, Marian Univ, and University of Indianapolis, plus a two year community college, Ivytech. Indianapolis doesn't have a public transit service as good as the D.C. area has. The weather is not that different than D.C. Probably milder: not as hot and sticky in the summer, and not much cold weather or snow in the winter. I think you'll find that college students here are pretty nice and friendly. IUPUI is a real up and coming college. Lots of nice new buildings, lots of really good programs. However, the campus lacks the "identity" and beauty of a place like IU-Bloomington. Not much landscaping or many trees. It has been a commuter school, but now they're building more student housing, so it's gradually changing, but again, it's never going to have a distinctive campus atmosphere. Also, IUPUI has become a lot more competitive in admissions. It used to have the reputation as being kind of a last resort university, but that's definitely not true anymore. You should know that the campus includes the IU medical school, dental school, and law school, so there are lots of adults around. Should be a lot of nice girls, because they have a very large nursing program, other allied health programs, and a large education program. The basketball team, the Jaguars, have been quite successful in recent years.
