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.

HOOSIER Basketball

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

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!
Natasha
Best known for our business school, Kelly.
Whitney
Indiana University is best known for their past success in sports, especially basketball. Academically, Indiana is a very recognized college in all areas of the academics. The Kelley School of Business is ranked nationally and the medical programs are very well respected from various aspects.

Indiana University is best known for its medical program. The difficulty levels of the medical classes are extremely high. IU strives toward preparing its medical students for medical school in the best manner possible by providing a variant of classes that will challenge students to a certain level that will prepare them for success in the future. IU is inept with what types of courses need to be offered with what intensity of complexity because of its relation with IU medical school.
Elizabeth
Unfortunately Indiana University is known as a "party school", which in many respects, it is. However, IU is home to the Kelly School of Business, one of the best business schools in the nation, as well as an outstanding medical program and the Jacob School of Music, which is competitve with such schools as Julliard.
Tiffany
Indiana University is best know for its music, nursing, and law programs.
Brittany
Our professors are known for their research. Our students are known for being academically driven as well as leading a great social life. Students here often study an area of science or at our globally known business school. Students here are passionate about athletics win or lose. The streets of downtown are always busy with students at night. We are also known for the biking race Little 500.

Apart from past basketball championships, IU is known for it's Kelley School of Business and the Jacob's School of Music.
Hannah
My schools is best knownow for many things. One of these is the Little 500, which is a collegiate bike race. The event gives students a chance to scholarships. Jacob School of Music is very prestigious, along with the Kelly School of Business. A rather provactive factor at IU is the Kinsey Institute which releases sexual activity information about Americans. Lastly, IU is known for its beautiful, quaint campus that triggers memories from Harry Potter movies to mind when buildings like Sycamore Hall are seen.
Mike
Indiana University is best known for two things. The partying and the business school. IU is one of the best party schools, with parties going on any day of week anywhere. However, Iu has one of the best business schools that is highly competitive. Many students try to get in but it is very selective and only the best get it. The business school makes some of the best business graduates in the country
Johanna
Probably our basketball team, although I don't really follow campus sports. We're also pretty well-known for our business school - Kelly School of Business - and our music school - Jacobs School of Music - which is tied with Juilliard for being the #1 music school in the nation. We also have a fairly famous even on campus called the Little 500, which is a bike race.
Mollie
My school is probably best known for being very liberal and a party school.
