What's the most frustrating thing about Indiana University-Bloomington?

The only thing i can think of is that the town is very small and there is not a huge variety of stores.

With 30,000 students, it was easy to get lost, difficult to connect with advisors, and hard to find support when I hit rough spots.

It takes a while to walk anywhere because it is such a large campus.

I think, due to its size perhaps, that IU can get lost in its own bureacracy. I also felt surrounded by people with more money than myself, and at time, surrounded by members of Greek associations with whom I could not relate.

There really isn't anything that frustrates me about the school. Maybe the people in the dorms that aren't very neat.

My peers. Alcohol is the focus of this campus. Sunday is the only relatively "dry" day. It's not unusual for people to go out drinking Monday night. The students are not focused on academics and become annoyed with any pressure from professors to actually apply themselves. As a rather studious individual, this makes it hard for me to find people to socialize with. Even living on an honors floor, the average IQ is lower than what I expected as an incoming freshman, and the focus is still largely party-based.

The most frustrating thing about my school is despite the large amount of money we pay to go here, there are still classrooms that are not technologically or physically up-to-date and the sidewalks are falling apart.

Jamon

I think the most frustrating thing about my school the fact that some many people. On a day to day basis I it really doesn't bother me, but when it is time to travel or go somewhere popular there will always be some sort of line. I guess I just have to get adjusted to that sort of thing.

Paul

The worst thing about Indiana University is the lack in university-sponsored events. The only social events in college is partying with alcoholic beverages, which is an immature, unnecessary phase in life. I can feel quite alone at times without like-minded people to spend time with.

The most frustrating thing about this school (for me) is the professors that do not speak the english language very well. It is sometimes extremely hard to understand what they are saying, and has made it a little tricky to learn. However, I have adapted and learned how to survive without knowing exactly everything they say.
