Was in Indy decades ago for residency- the city has vastly improved since then.

Do rememeber that your student will be spending most of the spare time on/near campus- not going to pro sports events et al. Consider the campus culture more than that of the overall city. Look at what students do with their time. A good campus can be anywhere. Consider the student mix- the campus visit will help in deciding if your kid’s peer group would be compatible. Geography and weather- winters and no huge body of water is not a deal breaker.

When looking at colleges out of your area remember that every area is provincal- and even large cities including NYC and Chicago. The Midwest is not the Northeast and there are pros and cons for each area. Aside from the academic fit the college visits will help determinig if the campus life feels good. Getting away from the home region can be an excellent thing.
