One of the best things about Indiana University is the school spirit. After going to numerous football and basketball games, I have never experienced anything quite like the Hoosier pride. Students who have come from all over the country, even from across the world, flaunt our cream and crimson colors with great joy.

Diversity is a factor that sets Indiana University apart from other schools. Anywhere you look, you are exposed to a new culture and given the opportunity to learn from another person’s lifestyle. From the numerous personal backgrounds to the large number of school-sponsored clubs, Indiana University does its part in providing diversity for students. It is almost impossible to be bored on this campus. Whether you are going to class, bonding with your floor mates, or attending callout meeting for a club, there is always an opportunity to learn and grow as a person and student.

What I like most about Indiana University is the availiability to be an individual. I also like that there re different groups and extra curricular activites to join with friends or others that you may not know. With the others you man not know, you can make other friendships and create bonds. Classes are difficult, but if focused you will succeed.

There are lots of areas for students to get together and help each other with their coursework.

The best thing about Indiana University is the atmosphere. I live on an honors floor of one of the dormitories. All of my floormates are obviously dedicated to their studies, but they still enjoy leisure time. On the other side of the spectrum is I.U. athletics. Athletics are a big part of the Hoosier community. I always enjoy watching the soccer, football, basketball and other sport teams. Lastly, is the campus itself. The hills, plants, and wooded and grassy areas always manage to bring up my mood when I am stressed. I.U. truly is something special.

The best thing about IU is choice. There are so many paths open for everything, social, academic, and otherwise. It's not hard to find exactly what appeals to you.

Indiana University gives you enormous amounts of opportunities for anything you want to do. Whether it is studying abroad, starting a club, joining a greek organization, or doing anything you could possibly think of, Indiana University helps you do it. In addition to that, IU is an exciting school. Basketball, football, little 500, or anything in between there is always something fun and exciting going on on campus.

The best part about Inidana University- Bloomington is the campus, it is a magnificently beautiful place to live and attend school. Full of trees and fields there is always a place to find outside to study and mess about with friends.

The education here is very difficult and very different from what I am used to. This is good because it gives me a harder time so it is like i study more and am learning quite a lot in very little time.

The best thing about IU is the willingess of the professors and staff to help their students. I love the way that my professors have made a number of services known to my classmates and I. They even go so far as to offer their own time but they also make a point not to baby us. They let us know that we're all adults in this community and if we need or want anything, we have to seek it out ourselves.

The best thing about IUB is the people you get to meet. I've met so many wonderful people who share common interests as me. It's large but the large campus allows you to explore your many opportunities. When I tell people I go to IUB, they automatically assume that I'm a huge partier, which is far from the truth. I want to spend a lot of time in my residence hall hanging out with my friends or studying. Bloomington is a very lovely college town. That's what made me consider going there.

When I wake up each morning I am faced with a choice: to dress up, or dress down? It sounds like a simple decision, but it is more. To dress up is to stand out, be more formal, more organized, more 'with it'. To dress down is to be more comfortable, more at ease, and to blend in. In some schools there is no choice; everyone must dress up or everyone must dress down. At Indiana University however the choice is the student's, not the community's.

The best aspect of Indiana University has to offer would definately be the atheletic program. it amazes me how much students put into athletics, especially basketball. I think school pride and spirit is very important to have, and our student body always brings a big crowd to Assembly Hall where our Indiana Hoosiers play basketball. I truely believe our fellow classmates have an affect on how our athletes perform. Any form of encouragement and support is what any athlete needs to have.

Indiana University is an excellant university. I think the best part of my school is the expansive amount of extracurricular activites and endless opportunities to network and make friends. From clubs to intramural sports to philanthropy events to the greek system, there is something available for everyone. Additionally, IU offers excellent career services and a wide range of fields to study. Lastly, IU has an incredibly beautiful campus. Every year it is voted to be one of the most beautiful campuses in the country.

The combined feelings of pride, belonging, and unity, which are evident in Indiana University’s student body, provide a strong sense of community. The best thing about Indiana University is the feeling that, as a student, I am a part of something great. When pursuing my education begins to feel overwhelming, it is comforting to know that I have an unwavering support system of students and faculty that are willing to help. Community is important to me because it helps me feel significant as an individual; I feel like I personally, can contribute to the overall wellbeing of the school.

One of the cool parts about IU is having an internationally renown music school. Not many students have access to the musical performances that take place regularly on campus. The students in the music school are some of the best in the country, and include professional musicians (who have performed with prestigious groups) coming back to get a graduate degree.
The operas are incredible, there are free jazz concerts every monday night, there are more performances than there are days at the school.

I enjoyed the fact that the school was diverse and allowed me to graduate on time with my BA. I met many friends that will remain lifetime friends.
Nicholas
I believe the best thing about our school is the diversity. You get to meet all kinds of people from all different areas of the world. We have a large deiversity of transfer and out of state students. There is always so much going on, but it it up to you to make the most out of your experience. It lets you create your own success, but does not just hand it to you.

I love how diverse Indiana University is. You get to meet people from all walks of life and from all different places.
