Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

The worst thing about Indiana University is that it probably rains more than it's sunny, and that the campus itself is quite large to walk from one end to the other.

I think that the worst thing about our school is the greek organizations. They are very judgemental and will only hang out with those that are also in a greek house. The system in which they choose who gets to be in them is very disappointing.

The worst thing about this school when you are out of state is the cost of tutition. This is a very expensive school to afford and purchasing books doesn't help the cause either. Also there is a lot of competition between the fraternities and sororities on this campus. Sometimes i feel like people think they are better than others just because of the letters that they wear. Also sometimes it is hard to gain attention from teachers when there are large lecture halls and other times classes are taught by graduates.

The worst thing about my school is the campus food, but the food that is not on campus is great.

class room size because its harder to learn and is less personable

The worst thing about Indiana University is the invisibility of many extracurricular activities. Although copious amounts are available, students sometimes struggle to discover them. If the university compiled a list of all extracurricular groups (clubs, sports, political groups, etc?.) and made it easily accessible and well known, it is very likely that a much greater portion of students would participate.

I think that the worst thing about my school is the system in which greek organizations are ranked. There is a big emphasis on sororities and fraternities and which ones are the best or worst which really lowers a person's self esteem.

Out of state tuition is incomparably higher than in state tuition

The worst thing about my school was the advisors. They didn't help at all with my graduation and actually caused me to not be able to graduate when I was suppose to.

I think financial aid, but that's just my experience. Even though my family has had a very hard time getting by, we're considered financially stable by this school and the government. Even scholarship programs won't give me any money. I've only been able to get loans to help pay, and I'm not looking forward to having to pay all that money back in the future. It'll take years! There are just too many students here, so it's hard for most to get financial aid.

There are too many people. I understand that it is a state school, and that's part of the good thing, that there are a lot of different backgrounds represented here. But at the same time, it keeps getting bigger without the campus growing. The incoming freshman class this year was the largest in school history and we've had people staying in lounges because we don't have rooms for them.

The worst thing about Indiana University is how expense the food is on campus. This include food from the dorms, library, and other fast food places owned by the University. It seems that the food places are all a scam. At the dorms bottle water can cost 3.50 which is outragous. A bagel at the library costs about 3 dollars as well.

The cost of attendence, tuition, books, food, rent, utilities, social activities, ect.

It is extremely expensive.

Education in my particular school is considered to be competition. However, I am invested in my education simply out of a desire to learn. Most of the students here live for the weekends and base their friendships and weekend activities solely around alcohol.

The worst thing about thsi school in my opinion is that most classes have a lot of students in them. A few of my classes are smaller, but the majority of my classes are large lecture halls. You have to make a point to go into the professors office hours to get extra help and to make sure that you understand the material. It is not hard to go to office hours, however, and the professors are always very helpful.

The worst thing about IU would be the parking situation. It is ofen difficult to find parking on campus and how difficult it can be to get back on campus.

Binge Drinking and drug use.

The greek life is great, but the fraternities and sororities are always talking bad about other fraternities and sororities. There are stereo types for each one. During greek events it can be hard to meet certain houses because of this. I really disagree with how sororities pick the girls who will be living in their houses in the future. I just do not understand how you can fully understand someone with a couple conversations.

Diversity. Most people are white middle class from Indiana.
