Apartment Village Guest Apartments

The Department of Residence Life is pleased to offer two fully equipped guest apartments. Two of the standard four bedroom apartments in the Village have been converted for use by guests to the university. This is an excellent option for departments who bring guests to campus such as speakers, visiting faculty, performers, consultants, candidates, parents, VIPs, etc. Do you need a location for an "off site" retreat? Reserve a guest apartment and take full advantage of being away from your offices while still being on campus! Members of the university community are also welcome to use the guest apartments for personal reasons, such as visiting family or friends or when you first move to Indianapolis before you find a permanent residence. Parents of students can use the apartments to visit students throughout the year, to have a comfy place to sleep during move-in or move-out, to cook a special birthday dinner for their student, etc.

Please take a look at some Guest Apartment photos.
