Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

There are too many people. I understand that it is a state school, and that's part of the good thing, that there are a lot of different backgrounds represented here. But at the same time, it keeps getting bigger without the campus growing. The incoming freshman class this year was the largest in school history and we've had people staying in lounges because we don't have rooms for them.

The worst thing about Indiana University is how expense the food is on campus. This include food from the dorms, library, and other fast food places owned by the University. It seems that the food places are all a scam. At the dorms bottle water can cost 3.50 which is outragous. A bagel at the library costs about 3 dollars as well.

The cost of attendence, tuition, books, food, rent, utilities, social activities, ect.

It is extremely expensive.

Education in my particular school is considered to be competition. However, I am invested in my education simply out of a desire to learn. Most of the students here live for the weekends and base their friendships and weekend activities solely around alcohol.

The worst thing about thsi school in my opinion is that most classes have a lot of students in them. A few of my classes are smaller, but the majority of my classes are large lecture halls. You have to make a point to go into the professors office hours to get extra help and to make sure that you understand the material. It is not hard to go to office hours, however, and the professors are always very helpful.

The worst thing about IU would be the parking situation. It is ofen difficult to find parking on campus and how difficult it can be to get back on campus.

Binge Drinking and drug use.

The greek life is great, but the fraternities and sororities are always talking bad about other fraternities and sororities. There are stereo types for each one. During greek events it can be hard to meet certain houses because of this. I really disagree with how sororities pick the girls who will be living in their houses in the future. I just do not understand how you can fully understand someone with a couple conversations.

Diversity. Most people are white middle class from Indiana.
