Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Indiana University-Bloomington?

Jorie

I truly believe that anyone could attend this school. Any race, religion, sexuality, personality and so on could find a place to fit in. Indiana University has so much diversity between its students that no matter who you are or what you like to do you can find something or someone that interests you here. The only people that probably would not like to attend this school would be someone who wants to attend a small school. IU is pretty big and can be a little intimidating if someone is not ready for it.

Olivia

Someone who isn't truly dedicated to their future. Indiana University Bloomington has so many opportunites to help students advance and grow in their individual crafts; someone who is there simply because they do not want to work or join the military or another option should not be there, wasting valuable resources and taking up the time of a truly dedicated student.

Natalie

I think that an unsocial, undetermined person should not attend this school. You have to be outgoing and like to be around people. They should like walking because the campus is huge. It's lovely and adventurous at the same time. The person can't sit in their room all day, they have to want to be outdoors.

Carmen

If you are afraid of large schools, then Indiana University is definitely not a great choice. If you're looking for a school with a smaller students-to-professor ratio, then this probably isn't a good choice. Also, IU is very much a liberal college, and freedom of speech and thought is encouraged within and outside the classroom, so conservatives should beware.

Jillian

A person who does not like large classes and who does not enjoy joining campus activities.

Josh

People who are from Bloomington.

Jamila

Anyone would be happy at this school. Any and every one can fine there niche here.

Amberle

Fair weather people should deffinitely stay away. I walk a mile to my classes in cold weather and come spring semester-- snow! Closed minded people should probably be wary. We have a very active, activist group working to build bridges and accquire acceptance for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and transgenders.

Mary

People completely against drinking, partying, etc. may find a fit here, it will just be more difficult. Anyone who does NOT like the cold, stay away.

Brittany

Indiana University is a very large school with diverse students and myriad opportunities. Introverted students or those who want require a great deal of handholding would not excel here. It is absolutely a place where many can shine, given the multitude of academic and recreational activities. However, students must show initiative and commit to pursuing excellence to succeed at Indiana University else they get lost in the crowd.
