I don't think he was there a full four years, and I know it was either Manchester College, IUPUI, Vincennes, or IU Bloomington.

I don't think Mellencamp ever went to college. This is what I found:
After graduating from high school in 1970, Mellencamp eloped with his pregnant girlfriend and began performing with the band Snakepit Banana Barn the following year. He also played with a glam-rock band called Trash and another called the Mason Brothers before landing a record deal in 1975.
He is known to be a rabid Indiana University basketball fan (he often attends games), and has been a staunch supporter of the University itself for a number of years, having contributed a significant amount of money to the University's cultural and educational programs. In 2000, he gave the IU commencement address, in which he advised graduates to "play it like you feel it!" and that "you'll be alright." Following the delivery of his address, Indiana University bestowed upon him an honorary doctorate of Musical Arts.
Add On: I went to the web site that ndtaya above stated and it does say the he went to Vincennes College for Broadcast Journalism
