General Info

Here at Graduate, we believe life is a timeless journey filled with memory-making stops, extraordinary rites of passage and all the courageous leaps of faith that get you where you’re going. Welcome to Graduate Bloomington—where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay. Prominently located on Kirkwood Avenue, our digs are just steps from IU’s iconic Sample Gates and next door to all the shops and eats on historic Courthouse Square. We’re Hoosier headquarters for meetups (Lotus Festival, anyone?) and meetings, and Little 500 central for Quals, Cutters and pros alike. #BYOBIKE Our lobby invites conversation with a wink and nod to B-town’s famously fictitious b-ball team— “Welcome To Indiana Basketball”! The lexicon is lit by a cluster of game winning globes dangling amidst an artful install of hoops and commissioned local works. The puzzling major (enigmatolgy for the win?) and checkered past of IU alum Will Shortz, has influenced our crossword-clad floors. The vintage bleachers, over stuffed sofas and court-long tables, play host to a whole lotta hanging out with a warm convo on tap.
