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:

  1. You can take the Bloomington Shuttle, which goes straight to/from the Indiana Memorial Union. However, it only runs every two hours.
  2. There is also limousine service, although it can be more crowded there than on the shuttle.
  3. 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.
  1. From the Indy airport terminals, you'll take a sharp 100 degree left curve; get into the far right lane.
  2. Turn right at the traffic light, and take the exit to 465 south, only about 200 feet from the light.
  3. Follow 465 as it curves and heads eastwards. Exit at 37 South.
  4. Stay on 37 South for about 45 miles, exit College Avenue.
  5. Continue on College Avenue and it will take you through the bustling downtown of Bloomington. Turn left on 7th street.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
