What do you enjoy most about life in Bloomington?
- Bloomington has a little bit of everything. It's not a huge city, but it's also not a completely isolated small town. It has small town vibes but still has what you need nearby. It's welcoming to people of all backgrounds, and you can usually find someone like you around, no matter where you're from or what you're about.
