Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

My overall opinion of this school is that I LOVE IT! I am so happy with my choice to attend Indiana University. I love everything about it. The campus is historic and beautiful no matter the season. The integration of the school with the city of Bloomington gives IU more of a small-town feel that connects the entire campus. There are approximately 40,000 people that attend IU, but I have never felt as though it was too big for me. The cultural elements surrounding the campus and integrated with the school are so exciting and interesting. There are constant festivals and educational events going on around campus, and Bloomington has the most ethnic restaurants per capita in the US! The final thing that I love about this school is the pride. Every student that I have met that has gone or does go to school here is so proud to be a Hoosier, and that pride truly stays with you for the rest of your life. I have made so many connections just because I am a student at IU. Once a Hoosier, always a Hoosier!

I think Indiana University is a great school to go to. It has one of the most beautiful campuses. On top of that, the faculty and enviornment they set here is one that is very interested in the success of the students. Indiana University wants to see their students succeed.

I would have to start by saying that the best thing about IU is the size of the campus. It's so large that it breeds diversity and there are all kinds of people to meet and friends to make. It's definetely a college town. Also, IU offers a huge variety of classes from fly fishing and scuba diving to your typical business or science classes. And the staff is very knoweledgable of their fields; they're very top notch. Overall, I would not say that the campus is too large. Also, school pride is a pretty important thing at IU, so it's always fun to go to the basketball and football games, and the tailgating it like no other college's. Finally, the campus itself is very beautiful with all of the trees and openness. It defensively played a part in why I came here.

I absolutely love attending IU. The best part about the school are the people in Bloomington. The other students are always friendly and looking to have a good discussion about some current issue. The professors are open and welcoming (I've even discussed class topics with them over coffee) and the administration is very helpful. Bloomington is a college town, so most people living here have some sort of connection to the university and are also very friendly.

join ARMY ROTC the school classes are way more difficult than high school-you have to give more effort

Indiana University offers some of the best things the academic world has to offer, especially with housing SPEA, the number 2 best school in Public Affairs in the nation. It is also the home of the number one Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in the nation, and I am a proud member of that organization. The administration is great and the faculty is nothing but helpful. The majority of time I spend at the Herman B. Wells Library, studying up on the latest from my classes. There is much school pride on Campus, especially on game day. The one thing I will always remember is the comradeship and experience I'm gaining from my ROTC program.

IUB is a great place to get involved and be a part of something huge. Almost every organization make an impact on campus. I am a part of ROTC here on campus and it has been a great experience for me. I have already met many great people, all of whom will lead this country some day. I have enjoyed the atmosphere that ROTC brought me and the sense of pride it has brought me to be a part of something bigger than myself. There is always something to do wether it be for classes, an organization, or with your friends. The campus is always busy.

This school is huge! I absolutely love it though. I work in retail and I think it's crazy to see the town's population grow over twice it's size during the school year. People come from all over to study together at a school that I can't get enough of.

IU has been great to me. I never have to explain what the University is. It's nice that there is a huge alumni base. No matter where you go, you always seem to run into someone that has or had ties to the university. Being in the Marching Hundred, I take a great amount of pride in the university and do what I can to give my support. I must say that I don't know a great deal about the administration, but Dr. McRobbie seems to have a good grasp on his plans for the future of IU. As for the controversy, well, the Kelvin Sampson thing comes to mind. That is just intolerable to bring that amount of bad press to an otherwise pristine program.

IU's huge, you can find anything here. No matter what your area of interest is, chance are, you can find a way to nuture it here at IU. The campus is beautiful and the staff have been inspirational. There is so much to do. There are so many student organizations here on campus. Whether you're into bass fishing or ping-pong, you can find it here at IU. The night life is amazing as well. Check out Kirkwood to find the most unique of bars and restaurants. The basektball tradition has been kept alive as Indiana has dreamed of returning to the finals. I have a few bad things to say too. The dorms are pretty run down and it is imperative that all freshmen live in them. The 'meal plan' is expensive too. I would recommend taking classes at Ivy Tech that transfer to IU. Little 500 is incredible, a truly unforgettable experience. When I tell people that I go to IU, they usually react by saying " wow that's awesome" or "stay out of trouble." I would strongly recommend a big university like IU for someone who might not be decided on a major. It's reputation in a wide variety of subject areas speaks for itself. Go Hoosiers!
