The university of Indianapolis is an amazing school that offers numerous opportunities for their students. The smaller classrooms create an environment where questions can be asked comfortably, and answered quickly. Most of the professors are down to earth, and genuinely care about their students success.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared for a smaller campus, which is nice if you are looking for a more personable environment. There is good school spirit for athletics, so don't be afraid to join in!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes are small, so it makes a better learning environment than a 200 person lecture class some campuses have. The classes are good to ease you in your first semester, but it really depends what professors you have and what classes you take.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life depends on which dorm you stay in. Upperclassmen dorms are extremely nice, especially the dorm that will open up next year. the dorms are very close to the dining hall, at most a 4 minute walk. The RA's are awesome and plan times where your floor can meet up and have a fondu night or a movie night. your floor will be your college family.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is extremely good most days, there are occasional times when the food is a big questionable. You can always count on the grilled chicken and salad bar! There are many vegetarian options. The only problem are the dining hours on weekends which are very limited, but there are fast food places nearby.
The dining hours have been extended this 2012-2013 academic year and I have no complaints:)
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun, I mostly hang out with friends on weekends and go downtown. Girls-Night Out mostly consists of a trip to the Cheesecake Factory in Greenwood. It is about a 15 minute drive to Circle Center from the university. I also have joined clubs that offer weekly events where you are able to meet people and just have some fun. I HIGHLY recommend joining Circle K!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a private school, but they offer tons of scholarships to make it reasonable. Athletes receive very good scholarships. With my Occupational Therapy program, it is worth the money.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Our most famous tradition is the midnight pancake breakfast before finals week! There is live entertainment and fun activities to lead up to the breakfast, and a good time to study and relax before the big week.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is good for the students who don't want to be overwhelmed when they first start in college. Professors are personable, and it is easy to get one-on-one time if you are struggling.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are not too many activities offered on campus because of the campus being called a suitcase campus where people leave on the weekends. Clubs offer numerous volunteer opportunities that are extremely fun, from walking dogs at the animal shelter to playing with kids.
This 2012-2013 year there have been weekend activities sponsored by our Residence Hall Association that have kept me on campus many weekends.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no Greek life, which was a contributing factor for choosing this university. Only the athletes have athletic houses.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It is true that the university of Indianapolis is not in the greatest part of downtown Indy. There are emergency call boxes all around campus and the university is lit up at night, so I have not felt threatened. It still is always safer to walk with friends after a night class.
