Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

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

Leann

I was very satisfied with Indiana University. It is difficult to find something that was considered "the worst." If I was forced to choose something, I would say the time between classes is not long enough if your next class is across campus.

I don't think there's a 'worst' thing about IUB. There are some disadvantages like not enough classes offered at freshman level. Other than than IUB has a lot to offer you just have to look.

To me, the only really negative aspect about this university is that out-of-state tution is substantially higher than in-state tution. Additionally, it appears that the amount of in-state scholarships available and accessible is also higher. I understand that this is a state school, but it would be nice if they had some type of program worked out for students from adjacent states to ease the burden of tuition.

Faculty and staff don't seem to give a shit about me on a larger level. Occasionally, and on a personal basis, a professor or two with not much clout stands out. I feel my parents are being raped for their money, and don't even get me started about the sinister, money grubbing college-gods that abide in the music school, robbing aspiring artists of not only money, but creative ingenuity and orginality.

I think the worst part about my school would be the parking situation. There are not enough spaces on campus to park. I believe many faculty and students drive and the parking availability is limited.

Stephen

There is a good amount of busy work.

Megan

I grew up in a big city, so moving to a place in the middle of nowhere was awful. I miss the city. But, you get used to it.

Many of the students who come to IU see the school as a top party school in the nation. It takes away from the classroom experience and learning when side coversations are always about how much you drank last night and where the next big party is going to be.

Stephanie

To have a social life around campus, it is almost required that you drink alcohol or take care of those you know drinking alcohol even if you are underage.

Stephanie

That it ended. I loved every minute I spent there. It's an underrated school with so much opportunity and a plythora of amazing people just waiting to be your friend.
