Location

City of Indianapolis

Indianapolis, the state capital of Indiana, is the 12th largest city in the U.S. with a population of nearly one million. Indianapolis is known as “The Crossroads of America” for it is intersected by more interstate highways than any other city in the U.S. Just few blocks away from the law school building is the Indiana Statehouse, the state capital building, housing the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court of Indiana, General Assembly, Indiana Governor, and many other important state officials. Also located in the city are offices of leading law firms, many Fortune 500 companies, non-profit organizations and other businesses.

Not only is Indianapolis the economic and governmental center of Indiana but it has also been ranked as #1 Pro Sports City in North America. The world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts two of the largest single-day sporting events in the world: the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. The city also hosts the only Formula One race in the U.S. In addition, Indianapolis is home to many professional sports teams including 2007 NFL Super Bowl Champions, the Indianapolis Colts.

With a growing number of ethnic restaurants and many international and American regional festivals held all year round, Indianapolis is a culturally diverse city as well as one of the most affordable places to live in the U.S. We encourage you to check the cost of living in Indianapolis against the cost of living in other U.S. cities with cost-of-living calculators available on the Internet.

Because of its location, Indianapolis is only one or two hours by air from other major U.S. cities such as New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, and Denver.
