Here for a volleyball game. Small errands but looks really good. Division 2 school with beautiful trees and what seems to be a really relaxed atmosphere. This gym is nice, it's been around for awhile but has been taken care of. read more

I had originally signed my child up for lessons Nov 18th through U Indy's Music Lesson Program. It truly was like pulling teeth to get someone to respond. After two months we finally got an instructor only to find out they cannot due the schedule we originally planned 2 days before the lesson. Still no idea where to pay, where to show up, or anything to give us some information. None of the staff is helpful, they cannot communicate well, and are full of excuses. If you are looking for Music lessons for your child, go somewhere with better communication. read more

A great, small school located on the south side of the romantic Circle City. Multiple ranked programs, a focus on Education for Service, and amazing faculty. What else do you want? read more

Came to the university for graduation. The campus was very nice. Graduation was scheduled out doors but due to intense rain had to be moved in doors. Parking was pretty far from the fitness center where the event was being held, and they actually had students with golf carts picking families up and driving them to graduation. How amazing of them and it was much appreciated as I was in heels and the walk was pretty far. Additionally, the school provided graduation gifts on site you can purchase to give to the graduate! How amazing is that! I enjoyed the experience very much. The graduation from start to finish was 45 minutes which I truly appreciate. read more

I spent four years of my life at the University of Indianapolis. It will always be U of I to me, but I guess they are going with the UIndy moniker these days. Oh well. I studied communication, marketing and Spanish here and had a great experience overall. Any university experience is based so much on personal taste, but I liked what I found here. I never had a problem with a professor and they all seemed like they genuinely cared about the students. In fact, back in my senior year of high school, that attitude was what made me decide to go to U of I (well that, and the fact that they gave me the best scholarship offer). I knew I wanted to go to school in Indianapolis and it came down to U of I and Butler. Admittedly, Butler's campus is a LOT prettier than U of I's. But I really got the feeling from all of the admissions counselors at U of I that they actually cared about me and wanted me to go to school there. Throughout the four years there, I generally encountered the same attitude from every faculty and staffer. I would recommend U of I to any high school student who is exploring colleges. It's not for everyone - it is pretty small and definitely doesn't offer the big college experience that you'll find at other Indiana campuses - but it is worth at least visiting to see what they have to offer in terms of academics, athletics, student life and financial aid. If you are an adult in Indianapolis and seeking education opportunities, U of I also offers several graduate degrees, including a MBA program, as well as undergraduate degrees through their School for Adult Learning. I'd give the school a five-star rating, but was recently pretty angry about the fact that my personal info (including SSN) was comprised by a hacker through their IT system and the way the school handled it. But... I can't hold that incident against four years of a solid education! read more

I recently returned to campus to explore their impressive collection of public art. Having been a graduate of the university back in 1980, I was amazed at the transformation the grounds of the school had undergone. Back then, most of the art was confined to the classrooms and to exhibits that were put on by the art department. Now, there are green ways and a water installation as well as nearly two dozen art installations. As a fan of bringing art to the masses, I believe the school should be commended for its devotion to the arts. Only the campus of IUPUI has a more expansive collection than this private school. In fact, U of I has published a walking tour of the numerous pieces. If you are a fan of art, plan a trip to visit this campus to appreciate the creativity and artistic expression on campus.

I attended a conference (Indiana Student Affairs Association) at the University of Indianapolis. During the conference we're mainly in two buildings. Mostly on the Student Center. Also I was there during Fall Break. The campus is beautiful and everyone that works there was very friendly. read more

I am a commuter student in the school for adult learning program. After many years of wishing I had gone to college after high school and thinking I would never be able to go back, I found the right fit for my schedule and budget. Classes are once per week (most in the evening on a Monday-Thursday evening) and accelerated for a five week session. Once completed, you earn three credit hours. (Some classes are 2 or 4 credits for a little shorter or longer schedule). There are 9 sessions per year or 27 credit hours. You can double up if your GPA is high enough but my work and home life demands don't accommodate that. I have taken 12 classes now and am on my way to finishing my undergraduate in a total of about 4 1/2 years. The classes are fairly small and the professors are understanding of working adults trying to fit it all in. I love my UIndy experience so far and encourage anyone no matter what your age or status in life to check this program out. read more

No parking spaces available and if they are available then you can't park in them because they are all designated parking lots, so even if you think you found a parking space, prepare to get a parking ticket! Food is bad/cheap. Hours of operation for most buildings are poorly communicated. Can't seem to accommodate for the amount of students they accept either. No bike lane on Hanna. Campus is right next to a train track. Also, no parking. Cafeteria closes at 7pm even though many students have night class that gets out at 8:50pm, leaving them to eat unhealthy garbage from Streets Grill or fast food from the surrounding area. Sidewalks are cracked and chipped. Meal plans are a rip off. Bike racks are too small/don't accommodate for all the bike-riders. Do better, Uindy. read more

Since the ISO String Quartet has been teaming up with UIndy for free performances, we've found ourselves on campus quite a few times over the last two years. The performances are held in the Christel DeHaan Center for Fine Arts and are free! If you've never been to the Christel DeHaan Center, be sure to get there early because seating is first come, first serve. The acoustics are amazing in there. When everyone is quiet, you can hear a pin drop. There's plenty of parking there too, but if it's rainy, bring an umbrella, because none of it is close to the building's entrance. read more

So happy with this university and think my son made the right choice. We are not from the area. So sending him away to school meant it needed to be the right school. We have no regrets. Love the students. Love the staff. Love the athletics (coaches and staff). Love the campus. read more

I enrolled at UIndy for my first year of college. You notice a lot of things just by the first day and right off the back the size seemed to be a problem for me. Granted I made the choice to attend there and wouldn't take that back, but I was assuming that college was a time to explore new things and new people and that is not what I experienced from UIndy. Each class almost seemed like high school again with kids already knowing each other in big groups and already have cliques just like days in high school. I encountered quite a few kids who seemed closed off to new people in their little groups and somewhat of a "I'm better than you" attitude. This doesn't apply to everyone because I did meet a few people that I gained a solid friendship with that I plan on carrying away from UIndy. This is truly my biggest disappointment from UIndy and if you can deal with the very, very small size and closed of classmates then you are going to be ok. To somewhat contrast my previous statement, I liked the size of the school in the classroom aspect. Out of my two semesters there and 4-5 classes each semester, I personally knew and talked to my professors outside of the classroom. They personally set out to know you on a person-to-person basis and not just a teacher. Although some of the ways they do this is by high school introductions and games, it still did make me enjoy the classes more. The teachers would set aside their time if you were having trouble and try and try until you would finally get the concepts you might be struggling with. I had the best teacher in my entire schooling career, Dr. Prestia, at UIndy. He taught history/history related topics, and although I took the class out on a limb, I could recite almost every single class discussion back because he made it interesting, fun, and personal. This is by far the best thing about UIndy and even if you aren't happy with the size, atmosphere, social life, etc. the teaching makes up for it ten fold the majority of the time. The buildings, dorms, and food services aren't too shabby at UIndy. They just remodeled quite a few of their dorms, their food court(s), and classrooms. If you have a chance to live in the remodeled dorms or the newly built dorms then deem yourself lucky. I had to live in an outdated dorm that was well over the capacity. Many of the older dorms are very outdated and are falling apart, at least the guys dorms were that I have heard of. Apart from the mediocre dorms, the dining court is pretty awesome. You can choose between the main cafe, the Grab-n-Go, or the Hound Express. Each is a different concept and my personal favorite was the Hound Express which had choices of subs, mexican food, and american grill food customized to your choice. The academic buildings are up to par with a lot of them being upgraded or completely redone, but then again there are a few that are old and outdated. The surrounding area was the other aspect that really didn't appeal to me after living there for some time. The areas adjacent of UIndy are quite unsafe at night, and even had a gunman on campus last year from one of those neighborhoods. Don't base that gunman fact on your only decision to attend, but the surrounding area isn't the greatest and/or more luxurious. A lot of UIndy was under construction because of the Super Bowl this coming up year, so maybe I just had to drive through those areas to get to where I was going to go, but those areas aren't places I would like to normally go. Apart from the immediate surrounding area, everything else is great. You are 5-10 minutes from downtown Indianapolis which has hundreds of things to do; a mall, the Colts, the Pacers, art museums, great shops, theaters, great parks, and the night life is the best. if you don't like downtown, then venture a few minutes more north to Broadripple and you won't be disappointed. I frequently would just end up driving around downtown Indy for the fun of it or just park and walk around the streets because it is a fun city to live in/by. All in all, I don't regret my decision to attend UIndy. Even though I decided against continuing my education there, I did have good things to take away from there such as a few good friends and the lessons from those teachers who had an impact on me. My advice to others who are interested in UIndy would be just make sure you want to attend here because if you are unsure, the price isn't worth taking introductory classes. Make sure a smaller, atmosphere university is exactly what you want, with the majority of the focus being on academics, because the fact is there isn't much going on at UIndy at night or on the weekends, with a lot of kids leaving to go to Purdue, IU, IUPUI, etc. Great school for nursing, international students, and physical therapy. read more
