Indiana University- East is similar to your grandmothers house. By this, I mean that it is weird to want to always go back and be there, but you can’t help it. Even the air is so incredibly welcoming. I knew from the second I took a tour it was the college for me, and honestly I’m excited to spend 4 years there!

Halle - 06/05/2020

I have had wonderful expiriences with my college. They are more supportive on a personal level of you individually than most colleges. During my advising appointments the administration was incredibly helpful and kind. I have not talked to anyone who is not hospitable. They definately know good people when they see them. I am proud to be a Red Wolf!

Sarai - 03/19/2020

They need better facilities for athletes. Athletes are not treated the way they are supposed to be treated. They expect too much for what they give us. I would love to have the facilities to actually be able to give a lot more than what I give right now.

Mary - 01/24/2020

I like how the campus is small and very down to earth. It can soon feel like "home" because of how small it is, you meet a lot of people and you will have classes with many of the same people. Since the class sizes are smaller you get more time to discuss and interact with your professors. I wish there was more to do on campus, most places to eat are outside of campus. The buildings themselves are pretty nice, and they do perform regular upkeep. Tuition is more affordable than most places, but the financial aid office is not helpful in giving students useful/helpful information. All of my professors have been very friendly and helpful, the majority of them are passionate about the subject they teach and they make sure that students understand and do well. They offer a fair amount of classes; though, it can become difficult to decide on a major if you are not sure what you want to do. I feel like compared to other campuses there isn't a ton to choose from regrading majors and minors. The advisor of the education department does a great job of keeping you informed and scheduling the appropriate classes that you need for your degree. They also offer an online option that is really flexible for students who have families, full-time jobs, or live a significant distance from campus. Parking is typically pretty decent, and they have yet to oversell parking spaces. Security has a very strong presence on campus and safety is a big concern for the university. Overall it is a decent campus where you are able to get a very personalized education. Though, it does have some flaws, there is no school that is perfect. So far I have enjoyed my time at Indiana University East.

  3. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    Indiana University East is a small school in a non-major city in a state that is ranked 22nd overall in education by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). There are limited financial resources, a complete lack of student housing, few dedicated study spaces, low interest in the arts, and a pituful library. However, there are faculty here who are passionate, esteemed individuals (I've studied under two Fullbright Scholars, an NEA Fellow, and a Pushcart Prize-winning writer) and who care a great deal about their students. Stick it out. The school is growing, be a part of it.

  5. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I don't have classes on Fridays! This is one of the advantages of it being such a small school. There aren't many students so there isn't any need to jam every day full of classes to accommodate everyone. The other thing is that I have a personal relationship with all of my professors. They know us all by name, not by ID number.

  9. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    If you need help with anything, there are always people there to assist you. We have tutorial services in math, reading, and writing, as well as student support services to get one-on-one individualized tutorin, and supplemental instruction where a previous student attend a certain difficult class all semester and holds study sessions to assist any students who can come. These are all great ways to get help as well as taking part in them for your own income. I have worked in all areas and love it!

  10. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I would have known how different life would be. It is a commuter campus, so I really wish I would have taken into account how awful it would be to drive 40 minutes to class every day. If I got a do-over, I definitely would have invested in an apartment near campus from the start to better integrate myself into the campus life.
