Partying. Hoosiers know how to have a really good time. But more positively we have an awesome music and theatre program here, and truly exemplary personalized major programs

Many people would first say that IU is known for partying, but at second glance it is easy to see that the students are there to learn and to better prepare themselves for the future with the help of distinguished professors and encouraging faculty.

It's a party school. Very into Greek life. It's a great school academically but I'm really not a fan of being so focused on partying. It's a fun place

Indiana University - Bloomington is best known for the Kelley School of Business and the Jacobs School of Music.

Some of my favorite campus traditions are Little 500, IUDM, the Nearly Naked Mile, Homecoming, IU Football tailgates, Basketball games, and the Culturefest. Little 500 is a bike race that IU hosts every spring. It has both a men's and women's race where teams from all over campus and Bloomington compete for the winning title. The event is usually celebrated for a whole week with concerts that have featured huge artist names such as Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, Dave Matthews Band, Sublime, Girl Talk , Avicii, Pretty Lights, and many many more. IUDM is the nations second largest student-run philanthropy. It is a campus-wide, 36 hour dance marathon that raises money for Riley Children's Hospital. Last year the organization raised a record-breaking $1.9 million while participants spent the 36 hours on their feet dancing and hearing inspiring Riley stories without sitting down the entire time. The Nearly Naked Mile is another popular campus-wide philanthropy that students participate in to raise money and collect clothing for the homeless. Participants wear to the event clothing that they wish to donate. Once they reach the starting point of the mile, runners take off their clothing (not all of it) and collectively run, walk, or jog a whole mile while being "nearly naked". The CultureFest is another one of IU's coolest campus events because it brings all of the cultural clubs on campus together and students can experience different kinds of foods, dancing, music, and more!

Other than Little 500, most other traditions are not so widely known. There is an IU Bucket List though. Some parts of that including sitting in the student section at the sports events, watching a Broadway musical at the auditorium, and taking a class in HPER (school of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation). My favorite "Tradition" is the late night splash in the Showalter Fountain. Most students take a dip in this fountain fall of their freshman year, and spring of their senior year. It's kind of a beginning and end to your time at IU. And on a nice night, it's pretty likely you'll see someone dipping their feet in there.

Indiana University i known for countless number of award winning programs such as the Kelley School of Business and Ernie Pyle School of Journalism. This school has so much to offer in any program of study. Whether you want to study astronomy, advertising, african studies, or anything in between, it can all be done here. All you have to do is put yourself out there and get involved. Indiana's door's are wide open, giving anyone the opportunites they want, and will find here at IU. Not only are Academics great, but being a Hoosier is second best!

Best known for our business school, Kelly.
