Review of Indiana University-Bloomington

from Mooresville, IN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The classes are so diverse, so adaptable to your interests, it's pretty much impossible to not learn so much. When I first came here, I had NO idea what I wanted to do. I took a few classes that seemed interesting to me, and after the first semester, I decided on a Sociology major. Every time I come home, I always have Did you know...? facts to give my family. I know they are very impressed and satisfied with my choice of college.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is absolutely beautiful. You cannot ask for a prettier campus. What shocked me the most is it's in Indiana! I've lived in Indiana my whole life, so it's shocking for me to see such a beautiful campus here. There's so many centers to go to for help, the library is amazing, there's food courts everywhere. You will never have a moment where there's nothing to do.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Let's see...if you live in the dorm, you get pretty much everything. Included in the tuition is room and board, transportation with the buses which run all day, you get to use the printers anywhere on campus, use computers and technology, rent books from the library, use the academic services (which are GREAT, by the way). There are sooo much more, but those are a few of the basics. For in-state students and out-of-state students, no matter what, it's an amazing deal.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do NOT slack off your senior year. No matter what college you plan to attend, they will look at your GPA and your test scores. Also, apply early. For IU, the longer you wait, the more competitive it gets. IU is an amazing school, and a college everyone should atleast consider.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

IU is great for any students who are interested in liberal arts. Also great for business majors, considering we have an amazing business school. The nursing program here, however, is extremely competitive. I think IU can find it's way into the hearts of anyone whose willing to work hard and succeed.
