You should not attend Indiana University if you are not serious about earning an education. People who attend this university need to be hardworking and willing to put in the effort. If you are not dedicated Indiana University is not the right choice. Every class here is challenging and prepares everyone for life after college.

Hugh

If one is the type of person who is intimidated by a large campus, prefers not to have their worldview tested, shaken, and reformed, or is uneasy around people of different ethnic, religious, or cultural backgrounds, one should not attend IU. The sheer size of the campus guarantees that one will encounter people with wildly varying opinions and beliefs on a daily basis. As the students are fairly political here, it is hard to isolate one's beliefs from arguments and criticism. Debate, argument, dialectic, and polemic are IU's stock and trade.

Carmen

If someone is not motivated and willing to work to better their future then they do not belong at IU Bloomington. The cost of attending IUB, like many other schools is steep and not worth wasting. If you are willing to put so much money towards your education then you should be passionate about creating a good future for yourself.

Mariel

Anyone who is outgoing and personable will enjoy IU. The campus is large and students meet numerous people and great professors. If you are someone who likes acclectic and creative atmosphere it is a great school. Some classes are large but that allows the student to meet so many new people and create bonds in their life. It is a great Big Ten school with a lot of school spirit and so many degrees to offer. I fully enjoyed my 4 years in Bloomington and at IU, and left with the necessary tools to continue my career.

Mary

An incredibly conservative or narrow minded individual who doesn't wish to experience other lifestyles or beliefs.
