Indiana University-Bloomington Top Questions

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.

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.

The best thing about IUB is the wonderful balance of social life and academia. I was able to graduate on time and build long lasting friendships.

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