Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

I wish I would have known how hard it is and how much you have to push yourself to get involved on campus. I also wish I would have known what a stress paying for school on your own is.

One thing that I wish I had known before was the amount of scholarship opportunities there are for incoming freshman. It is key to check early and often to ensure that scholarships offered by the university are utilized.

I wish I'd known more about the transportations services available.

I wish I knew more about the overwhelming Greek culture on the campus. I also wish I knew about more of the scholarship opportunities.

Nothing I love all the new things you learn each day at IU!

Professors rarely care for students. Working hard to prove to them that you deserve their time, attention, and help is one of the greater lessons one needs to learn. Instilling that tenacious work ethic makes the difference between being average in class and excelling.

I wish I knew study habits before I came to this school. I wish I knew how much the overall costs of schooling would be before I came to Indiana University.

I wish I knew how much my life would change after the experience of getting a college degree. I spent a lot of time focusing on coursework and studying, and an equal amount of time participating in extra curricular activities that helped me build a strong social and professional foundation. I would have spent more time engaging in everything that was available to me, and I would have spent less time worrying. I would have taken away the things that stressed me out, and made sure I was living every moment to the fullest.

I wish I had known more about the courses that are offered here. There are so many areas that interest me, but I transferred so many credits when I matriculated that I had very little room for electives. Had I put in more effort to research what courses were available to me, I might have been able to broaden my curriculum a bit more. By the same token, I could have made room for more electives if I had made myself more aware of crosslisted courses (i.e. courses which might apply to more than one area).

I wish I had known that the majority of the classes for my major were not on campus and that I would have to take city busses to get there. Also that there isn't a good direct bus or transit to bigger cities farther away.
