IU South Bend is constantly changing, expanding, and transforming to meet the needs of students throughout Michiana. Located on 80 acres along the St. Joseph River, the IU South Bend campus is just minutes from downtown South Bend. When it officially opened in the early 1960s, the campus featured two buildings—Northside and Greenlawn Halls. The first class of 30 students graduated in 1967. Today, our friendly campus has grown to approximately 7,500 students and 12 buildings and offers a wealth of choices, including more than 100 undergraduate programs, 17 graduate degrees, over 70 student clubs and organizations, flexible class times, and off-campus programs.
