the Professors are caring and challenging who want to see you be successful in your work and ultimately in the workplace with your career
DownersThere is several times and areas of the campus where it is an endless party scene and that can be a distraction for those whose parents have sacrificed to let their son or daughter go to college
CommentsDo your research when looking at schools by considering at least 3-4 colleges and/or universities. Make sure to visit as much as you can afford yourself when making the campus visits and to ask any question that comes to mind so you feel very comfortable with your ultimate decision.

I went to IU Kelley School of Business as an undergrad and to an ivy league school for graduate school, and I can honestly say that I learned way more while at IU. The professors at the school are simply amazing and there are some that I still view as mentors to this date.
The student life is absolutely fantastic. IU also has the most beautiful and vibrant campus. I could not have imagined a better college experience.
DownersAbsolutely nothing!! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my experience at IU.
CommentsIU gave me amazing opportunities, not only intellectual opportunities to broaden my horizons but also incredible employment opportunities. For business students interested in high-finance, the investment banking program run by Professor Haeberle is absolutely the best in the country!!!!!!

Two years of general business classes - including accounting, computers, math, public speaking. After we took a culminating semester which helped us decide what we really wanted to major in. I took one class in operations and realized that it was the major for me. I studied abroad second semester of my junior year and began my major when I returned as a senior.
Quality of LifeI lived in a dorm for one year. A sorority for two years and an apartment my final year. The facilities were overall decent. I know it is hard to keep up all buildings on campus. Every classroom had updated technology. There were tons of interesting restaurants to try. It was a safe place to be.
AdmissionsI submitted my application to the university - it was very simple. Getting into the Kelley School of Business was more selective. I was a direct admit based on my grades and test scores in college.

General education classes tend to be slightly larger in size but there are smaller sections available. I personally have never had any trouble getting into a class. Advisors and professors are always accessible through office hours and/or appointments. The atmosphere is very competitive and challenging. Elinor Ostrom, an undergraduate professor in the School of Public and Enviromental Affairs recently won the Nobel Prize in Economics. IU has one of the largest study abroad programs in the nation. I personally travelled to Spain through the study abroad office and had a terrific time.
Quality of LifeIU has a great atmostphere with a lot of tradition. It is a gorgeous campus with lots of winding paths through trees with a lot of older buildings. Overall, the campus is a very safe place with lots of safety enforcement present. Cost of living is respectable. Overall, students at IU are extremely happy and really enjoy the atmosphere. There are two large workout facilities for students to enjoy. Residence halls, while not the most extravagant in the world are very liveable and comfortable.
AdmissionsNo essays or personal statements required. The early application deadline is extremely important as it can unlock more scholarship money for the student.

It was a pretty standard application- similar to the other Big Ten schools I applied to.

The Jacobs School of Music is very selective and requires an audition.

General requirements such as English and Mathematics are a must for freshmen and are highly beneficial for any future work.
Class sizes are not too bad. Introductory classes are expected to be big, but for these particular classes, discussion sections are almost always mandatory and study groups are very common. Smaller classes such as the English and Foreign Languages make learning more intimate.
Indiana University has highly renown faculty including Noble Peace Prize winners making research opportunities almost inevitable.
Study abroad is greatly encouraged and IU has one of the biggest study abroad programs in the country!

intense group work; hands on projects; tailored to the "real world" activities of our majors; many assorted classes dealing with business, management, marketing, event planning, tourism, ecotourism, sustainability, etc. many classes dealt with handicap accessibility and management skills
Quality of Lifemany living options close to or on campus (dorms, sorority, apartments) living is relatively inexpensive; on par with other college campuses; beautiful campus with many facilities which are all wireless; libraries are all over campus but the main library fulfills all needs of students except for a "copy center"; low crime; high levels of binge drinking; great community/campus involvement.
WE LOVE OUR SCHOOL!!! It is a beautiful, cultural, and fun place to live and learn.
