Student Life

Ask students at Butler, and they’ll tell you that life here is full of constant excitement and possibility. The reason that life at Butler is so different is that students and faculty are invested in the community that they shape and that shapes them in return.

 

Our University integrates educational experiences into a campus setting with opportunities, challenges, and services that promote a student's development as a total person. Whether it's helping students find their place, get involved, or feel their best, Butler enriches the experience beyond the classroom.

 

Whatever students want from their college experience—over 150 student organizations to engage in the campus community, dozens of club and intramural sports to enhance wellness, or leadership and volunteer opportunities to make a meaningful impact in Indianapolis and beyond—Butler has ways to help students “BU.”

 

The more Butler students do, the more something special starts to happen. Life at Butler goes beyond the classroom.
