Stratum at Indiana, The

Move into one of The Stratum’s quiet, modern apartments on Bloomington’s east side, close to campus and well-served by local bus routes. There’s a Kroger supermarket less than 10 minutes’ walk away, so you’ll never be short of something to eat. Walk two blocks to the Bloomington Bagel Company and pick up a cinnamon bagel before class. After your lectures, spend the afternoon browsing neighboring College Mall for a new outfit, stopping at the food court for a burger and fries before heading home. And at the weekend, head out into nearby Latimer Wood to explore its hiking trails, or drive 20 minutes to sail across Yellowwood Forest’s serene lake.

Stumble upon multiple bus routes within minutes of leaving your home at The Stratum. Hop on the regular number 9 service for free and arrive at Indiana University in good time, or park your car in one of the full-sized garages and cruise to your morning classes in style.

Enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding nature reserve from your one or two-bedroom apartment. Head out to Saraga International Market  and buy the ingredients to cook exciting dishes for your friends in your new home, and serve them at the breakfast bar. Your rent includes high-speed internet and cable, so you can unwind together in your apartment after a hearty meal.

After a day in the library, head home and relax with a bubble bath in the tub of your private bathroom, or throw on your bathing suit and take a dip in the outdoor pool. When it comes to keeping fit, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Head to the fitness center and work up a sweat on the exercise bikes, treadmills or weight machines. After, hit the tanning lounges to get an all-over glow.

You’ll find it easy to make friends at The Stratum. Head to the media center and join your neighbors watching hit shows on the flat-screen TV, or surf the web together in the internet café. And when you want to watch a movie, settle into the comfy chairs in the on-site movie theater, or catch the latest blockbusters at AMC Showplace Bloomington in a 10-minute walk.
