Wells

Welcome to Wells!

Renovations may have modernized the Wells Quad building, but residents still have the magical feeling of living in a stone castle within the woods. Nestled between historic academic buildings and featuring gargoyles and stained glass windows, Wells has a unique blend of first-year and returning students. 

A popular spot that Hoosiers enjoy at Wells is the stone patio overlooking scenic campus views—take a moment to sit back, relax, and take in your surroundings.
