Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Indiana University-Bloomington? Why?

Cynthia

The worse thing has to be some of the professors have a strong accent which can be difficult to understand.

Jessica

For someone like me who wants to try everything and can be a tad indecisive, all of the choices for classes, majors, and extra-curriculars can seem a bit overwhelming. Even though IU provides great resources for its students and a large advising staff, with such a large student body it is easy to feel lost among thousands of others.

Brittany

Often times the sheer magnitude of opportunities at Indiana University are overwhelming. It is frustrating to discover of a missed opportunity after the fact due to lack of communication. The university has an excellent student newspaper, but even that cannot possible cover every amazing activity that takes place on campus. However, it is a bit of a paradox, as the university's size is the primary reason so many diverse and wonderful activities exist!

Grace

Many people are not exactly focused on college, but more on drinking and partying.

Brian

I reallyu can't say anything negative about my school. The only thing I can say is the size of the school is very large which some students may not like. But this is not true for me.

Gurprit

I do not consider anything that is bad about Indiana University but one thing that I don?t like is the University Division Academic Advisors. They tell you everything not in the interest of you but in the interest of the University. Personally, I was told to take a certain class which I didn?t need and I had to withdraw from it because of that. Once you?re in your specific college, your advisors changes and they want you to do great in the field your studying.

The worst thing about my school is the cost. As an out of state student I am paying a very large amount in comparison to in-state students. It is pretty overwhelming at times but loans and scholarships help out.

Margaret

I would say the worst thing about the school is that the students are incharge of all the bills. Sometimes we miss things, more so then our parents. For instance, my housing is 2000 extra because I missed something. Also I would say out of state tuition is on the climb, I hope it goes down so I can continue to go to this great school

Kurt

The winter weather can make life somewhat depressing.

Keeley

The lack of diversity.
