Transportation to/from Bloomington
First thing: fly to Indianapolis, not directly to Bloomington.
If you fly directly to Bloomington, you'll likely find yourself
in Minnesota or Illinois.
Getting to Indiana University from the Indianapolis Airport:
- You can take the
Bloomington
Shuttle, which goes straight to/from the Indiana Memorial Union.
However, it only runs every two hours.
- There is also
limousine service,
although it can be more crowded there than on the shuttle.
- The usual car rentals. All of the rentals are off-site from
the airport.
Driving directions
If you use MapBlast, it will give you some rather bizarre and arcane
directions. I recommend taking the simpler route below, which is
actually about 1.5 miles longer by my van's odometer.
- From the Indy airport terminals, you'll take a sharp 100 degree
left curve; get into the far right lane.
- Turn right at the traffic light, and take the exit to
465 south, only about 200 feet from the light.
- Follow 465 as it curves and heads eastwards. Exit at 37 South.
- Stay on 37 South for about 45 miles, exit College Avenue.
- Continue on College Avenue and it will take you through the
bustling downtown of Bloomington. Turn left on 7th street.
- After a few blocks and many stop signs, you will be on campus;
there will be a large field to the right and a gatehouse in
the middle of the road. Turn right at the gatehouse.
- Park in the lot there; the cost is covered by having a room
in the IMU.
Total driving time is at most 1 hour 15 minutes.
Please see the Airport-To-Bloomington Map and the
IUB Campus Map for more details.
