IU enrollment holds steady as Bloomington draws fewer Hoosiers

Indiana University’s overall enrollment stayed steady while fewer Hoosiers attended the Bloomington campus.

The change means the university’s total enrollment and the number of Indiana residents at Bloomington moved in different directions. The development focuses on enrollment at IU and does not include a change to the university’s overall enrollment level.

Why it matters

Bloomington is one part of Indiana University’s enrollment picture. A steady universitywide total can exist alongside a decline in the number of Indiana residents attending that campus.

The enrollment development is relevant to schools because campus population affects the number of students receiving instruction and services at Bloomington. The information does not establish why the number of Hoosiers attending the campus declined.

What is clear

Indiana University’s total enrollment remained steady. Fewer Hoosiers attended the Bloomington campus. Those two facts describe different parts of the university’s enrollment picture.
