Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) occupies an urban campus in downtown Indianapolis, positioned adjacent to the White River and within walking distance of the Indiana State Capitol. The institution was formed in 1969 through the merger of Indiana University and Purdue University extension programs, creating a comprehensive public research university that maintains academic partnerships with both founding institutions. IUPUI's campus features modern academic buildings and medical facilities, including the Indiana University School of Medicine, which serves as the state's primary medical education center. The university is recognized for its programs in nursing, engineering, health sciences, and liberal arts, with the School of Medicine being the largest medical school in the United States. Students have access to on-campus housing in multiple residential complexes, though many students commute from the surrounding metropolitan area.
