Review of University of Indianapolis

from Indianapolis, IN

Describe your college in three sentences.

So far, UIndy has worked well for me. They've been polite, reasonable, capable, and timely, and have helped me through the process of beginning my time in college. The professors have been knowledgeable and have truly wanted to help me along.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If your high-school circumstances were unconventional, and particularly if they were less than ideal, be willing to explain those circumstances and why the problems that held you back will not be an issue in college. They WILL work with you.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Tough but fair is an aspiration of many institutions. I believe they have largely reached that goal here. My assignments have been relevant to the class, and have been challenging without being impossible.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I am living off-campus, but I have heard good things about dorm life. I have heard that the dorms are comfortable, and that the RAs are personable.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I have not, as of yet, eaten at the cafeteria, but I've heard it's pretty good food, at reasonable prices. Their meal plans offer a wide variety of choices, so you will likely find a plan that works for you.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are several rec areas and places on campus in which to have fun. In addition, because the campus is in the city, on a sizable road, there is entertainment up and down the road, and along the bus lines. I'm pretty easy to entertain, but it seems like there's something for just about everyone.

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

I'm not going to lie. UIndy is a private university, and private means expensive. But with small class size, attentive instructors, timely assistance, and a friendly campus atmosphere, you definitely get what you pay for.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I'd heard great things about their Creative Writing focus, and that influenced my decision for college. So far, everything I've experienced has been in line with that. Writers would do well to attend.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

UIndy has a small, personable campus, with an open, friendly air. There is ample security, and it feels very safe.
