Indiana Permit Information .
If you LIVE in Indiana, you cannot haul a handgun around without an LTCH - License to Carry a Handgun. Without it, you can only take the gun home from the gun store when you buy it, take it in for repair to a gunsmith, or take it to your place of employment. If you do not live in Indiana, you have to have a permit from the state you live in to carry a handgun - or see IC 35-47-2-4 below. Or you have to have a permit from a state that does issue non-resident permits, like Utah or Florida. The chances of getting caught are probably slight, but it's just not worth it to take a chance.
IC 35-47-2-23

who is a resident of another state. The superintendent may issue a four (4) year qualified license or a four (4)
year unlimited license to a person who is a resident of another state and who has a regular place of business
or employment in Indiana as described in section 3(a)(3) of this chapter.
Note: Apply as directed for Residents. You will have to supply supporting evidence that you have a
business or employment in Indiana.
However, you should check out this site:
Indiana College Carry Info, as it appears that you could not have a handgun on campus anyway - at least at this point in time.
With regards to buying a handgun, you have to prove Indiana residence:
IC 35-47-2.5-5
Documentation of personal identification and residence
Sec. 5. (a) To establish personal identification and residence in Indiana for purposes of this chapter, a dealer must require a prospective purchaser to present one (1) photographic identification form issued by a governmental agency of the state or by the United States Department of Defense, or other documentation of residence.
