Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

IU is a well-rounded school, excelling in everything from academics to athletics. The fact that it offers something for almost everyone is the testimony given by the student body; over 40,000 kids from all over the world found IU and have made it their home for four years or more. IU’s campus is an original place in an isolated little town, and while it may be in the middle of nowhere, it doesn’t take long for most students to find something that makes it feel a little more like home.

Most of the complaints about IU involve its large size, and if you’re looking for the kind of school where everybody knows everyone else’s names, this isn’t the right place for you. However, the faculty, staff, and general population of Indiana University all work together to make an otherwise intimidating atmosphere feel a bit more accepting. There are so many opportunities here that your experience at IU is undoubtedly what you make of it. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to gain admission, you don’t have to be a long-time binge-drinker to have a great social life, and you barely even have to leave your dorm room to make friends. Ultimately, these are just a few of the many positives that make the college experience in Bloomington, Indiana the most memorable and most educational years of your life.

Getting There

IU is actively working to increase diversity both in appreciation and in education. While the racial demographic is primarily Caucasian, the university is very vocal about embracing different aspects of diversity including race and orientation to develop competent and globally aware students.

Solid and Safe

While the total elimination of drugs and alcohol at any large University is virtually impossible, I haven't been exposed to a great deal of hard drug use or excessive alcoholism at my time here at IU Bloomington.

Not Great

Although I am a hispanic student studying at IU Bloomington, the African-American diversity rate has remained stagnant at 4% for the past two decades. The murmured racism that is audible throughout campus must make for an uncomfortable atmosphere for certain groups of students.
