Depending upon how you count it, Indianapolis has some 800,000 people (the City) or more than 2 million (the whole area), and that's what makes it different from most of the other cities in the Midwest as a place to go to college. It's got very much the same climate as the others, a humid continental one, and so is for those who like to see a definite difference between the seasons. It's also managed to escape its Rust Belt reputation and has been most successful in bringing people and business back into the city itself.
