Student Housing

Most students attending Ivy Tech Community College commute daily from their homes. That is why Ivy Tech does not operate its own residence halls.

However, Ivy Tech students are eligible to live in one of two nearby student living communities. Both of these options are either within walking distance or offer student shuttles to area campuses, and offer additional student amenities, like individual leasing, student computer centers, along with other resort style amenities like pools, fitness centers, and sports and recreation access.

For more information contact these leasing offices directly or visit the provided websites.
