Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

It is frustrating trying to balance out working, socializing, and doing school work, there is always so much to do and its hard to prioritize.

The school places too much emphasis on sports by pouring money into renovating the football stadium and spending a lot in the athletic programs while they continue to raise tuition and freeze salaries of individuals who really do deserve a raise, not to mention having families to support. With the economy where it is, it would be wise to spend less on sports, raise tuition less, and avoid having to dive into donor funds to compensate for the money they have (in my opinion) frivolously spent.

Most frustrating thing would have to be the availabilities of the buses. My freshmen year it was relly nice becuse you did not have to wait long for a bus, but then they had to cut back. Now you can wait wuite awhile to get home.

The workload can get pretty intense, but that's true of anywhere.

The most frustrating thing about Indiana is a common issue at most large unversities. It is often times difficult to get administrative things done within the unversity.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the class size. There are majors that require classes where the average class size is 250 students. In that type of environment, any sort of shyness can and will hold someone back from speaking out in class and asking questions. I had classes of, at most, 30 students in high school, and going from that to classes ten times the size, it was shocking and frustrating. As much as it is frustrating to me, I also must say it has caused me to change and grow into the adult I am now.

Realizing your just a fish in a pond. It dosen't matter if you're a big or a small fish, either way, the pond is huge. You can't make generalizations about the school, or you will be missing out on the diversity by having pre-associated judgements. There are people here from all blocks of life from all histories and experiences that are into all kinds of things. Some poeple pass through the college without ever realizing and taking advantage of this.

Popularity of Greek life.

the liberal environment and the way students loose themselves in the school, professors have a lot of influence and students aren't very confident in themselves, use alcohol a lot as a release from the hard work

I wish there was more diversity on campus because I come from a place that is much more diverse ethnically and I miss it.
