The week of IU’s graduation week can be hectic with celebrations. Here’s a couple of tips to get through it, and a taste of what we offer for fine dining.

Places to Sleep

Although it may seem excessive to book a hotel six to nine months before graduation, keep in mind that most nearby hotels will be fully booked during the graduation weekend, so make plans If you have trouble making reservations, Airbnb is a fantastic choice if you're staying for the weekend.

Restaurants

Families in Bloomington frequently book reservations at restaurants months in advance. Thus, be careful to plan beforehand. Graduation dates are usually announced by colleges months in advance, and it’s strongly advised to book a table at your preferred, well-known restaurant. FARMbloomington is a perfect choice!
