College is more than a degree. It’s where you discover who you are and who you’re becoming. At IWU’s Marion campus, you’ll join a vibrant community of over 2,000 students from around the world, rooted in faith and built for connection.
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at McConn, cheering on the Wildcats, or finding your people in a student org, there’s always somewhere to belong at IWU.
Your future matters to us, even after graduation. That's why eligible graduates of IWU's Marion residential campus who have not secured professional employment, enrolled in graduate school, or entered military service within six months of graduation may qualify for up to six graduate credit hours or two qualifying professional certificates at no additional tuition cost.

Where Wildcat Memories Are Made
Community is at the core of life at IWU, and our residence halls are where that community really takes shape. Living in one of our intentional, Christ-centered residential communities can be one of the most transformative parts of your time here.

Grab a quick bite between classes or settle in for a long meal with friends. Between an all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, a newly remodeled Wildcat Express, and late-night pizza, you’ll find options that fit your taste and your schedule.
Some student organizations are associated with specific majors and assist with networking and professional development, while others explore hobbies and passions.
