Indiana University is an awesome place to live and go to school. the professor's are really here to help us out. With all the resources available on campus, there is no way you shouldn't pass a class.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Work and save money during the summer before coming down to Bloomington: being broke the first year on campus is stressful.
Order your books early: its better to have your books before classes start, Waiting to order text books will cause you to wait longer to get them than it would have if you would have ordered them earlier.
Manage your time: it's called college for a reason. we're here to learn. Have fun, but get your school work finished first.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's challenging work. It's college. You get what you put into your studies. fell free to slack off and not take your work seriously, you wont be here long.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life has it's ups and downs but overall I can't really complain. The ups: they're close to classes, and most have a food court or c-store located within them or another close dorm. The downs are really good for when it comes to quiet hours and some of the other rules. Quiet hours differ from dorm to dorm and can even differ from wing to wing within the same dorm, but the rules are to keep everyone safe and also provide an environment where we can study and sleep without being disturbed. Don't forget, we're in college for a reason.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food and dining is great here, but gets old really fast. The good thing is that there is a variety of different places to eat on campus and a lot of places deliver at different hours of the night. When eating on campus, we do get a 60% discount on food and other items purchased in the c-stores and food courts
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Fun is whatever you want to do. Be outside, hang out with friends, or be alone by yourself, you have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want. Just be safe and be able to live with the decisions you make and the consequences that may come out of certain situations.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Discounts at food courts and c-stores. There are so many academic help sessions and programs that we are able to use just because we are students at IU. We are paying for an education might as well use the resources provided.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Little 500 week is amazing! People come in from all over the nation to take part in the activities around campus. It's the last full week before dead week and finals week. Professors usually do not assign a lot of work during this week but if you happen to fall behind in your classes, you will not be able to enjoy it as much as you would like.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
IU is great for any student. You meet a lot of different people with different backgrounds and different interests. You are sure to find someone with similar interests as yourself but it is even more exciting to meet people with different opinions than yourself.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is actually really nice. Because the campus is so big, security is around pretty often. They are here to help protect us and do not just look to get us in trouble. In fact, a lot of the security around campus are actually students.
