3 reasons to love Bloomington
Sure, Bloomington isn’t New York. Or LA. And we think that’s a good thing—for your focus, your wallet, and your career.
Space to breathe
Our students appreciate the focus they achieve here. Without distractions, you can zero in on yourself and your future.
Low cost of living
Bloomington boasts the lowest cost of living among top-ranked MBA programs. Enjoy life without big city prices!
All the fun
From outdoor rec (we have three lakes!) to renowned musical performances, Bloomington is a welcome second home for MBAs.
“Bloomington is the perfect grad school town. I wanted a program where students were residents, not commuters, and at Kelley I appreciate the convenience of meeting friends for coffee, seeing classmates on campus, or going together to an IU basketball game.”
Beth Lee, MBA’24
