BLOOMINGTON– Indiana University (IU) has announced that on-campus residence hall and dining rates will increase across all IU campuses for the 2024-2025 academic year. The IU Board approved the rate hikes of Trustees, which will affect students living in residence halls at the university’s flagship Bloomington campus and IU campuses in Indianapolis, South Bend, and Southeast.
Standard room and board rates will increase by 2% on the IU Bloomington campus, bringing the annual cost for on-campus students to $12,431. Dining rates will also rise by 2%. The university also announced that renovations to the Wright Quadrangle are scheduled to be completed by early next year, with the renovated facility set to reopen for students in fall 2025.
At IU Indianapolis, the annual cost of room and board will rise by 2% to $13,331 per year. Dining costs on the Indianapolis campus will increase slightly by 2.5%.
