Indiana University Students Tell It Like It Is
Indiana University Students Tell It Like It Is
What do Isiah Thomas and Jane Pauley have in common? They're both Hoosier alumni! If you are thinking about going to Indiana University, don't waste your time researching every detail of the school. We've already done it for you! And our information comes straight from the Hoosiers themselves. (In case you didn't know, a Hoosier is IU's "mascot," an indefinable expression of school spirit-what you are if you attend IU.)
You might feel like a dot at first, being just one of the over 27,000 students on campus. But it's not as much of a big world after you get adjusted.
"Even though it is a big place, there are always people from your hometown or your dorm or whatever to run into. The more you meet people, the more it becomes a small world."
You can bond over a good meal on campus.
"Campus food is really one of the top student gripes, along with parking. It's just one of those things that you have to get used to. It's not dog food, but it's not home cookin' either."
Maybe not. But not to worry-off-campus options are plentiful.
"We have about every conceivable type of restaurant, and we keep getting more. Some local places are good, like Nick's English Hut, Puccini's (Italian), La Charreada (cheap but great Mexican), Malibu Grill, and the list goes on. We have everything from Indian to Tibetan to Greek."
Pretty soon, you'll start to feel less like a dot, and more like part of the big picture. School spirit is one of the things IU thrives on. Particularly strong when basketball season rolls around, students are proud to be Hoosiers and wear the Cream and Crimson like a badge.
"Every time we're recognized as a top party school, spirit soars as we pat each other on the back and raise our glasses, but the atmosphere is just as charged whether we're cheering the football team on to another defeat or protesting the departure of an Indiana legend."
A Hoosier is a Hoosier is a Hoosier, and even if no one really knows what that means, the cohesiveness of the student body (and the pride in this term) can't be ignored.
Find out if Indiana has something for you, straight from the students' mouths.

About the Author:
College guides for each of the top colleges and universities in the US
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. We think it s important that our readers get honest information and a realistic impression of the student opinions on any college campus that s why if any aspect of a particular college is terrible, we (unlike a campus brochure) intend to publish it. While we do keep an eye out for the occasional extremist the cheerleader or the cynic we take pride in letting the college students tell it like it is. We strive to create a college guide that s as representative as possible of each particular campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether the survey responses point to recurring trends or a variation in opinion, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process of their creation. Because you can t make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each college campus who help write, randomly survey their peers, edit, layout, and perform accuracy checks on every college guide that we publish. From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each college or university receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion and help to represent contentment, prominence, or satisfaction for each of our 20 specific categories. Just as in grade school, the higher the mark the more content, more prominent, or more satisfied the students are with the particular category.
Once a college guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. Our bounce-back team a group of randomly selected students who have no involvement with the project are asked to read over the material in order to help ensure that the guide accurately expresses every aspect of the university and its students. This same process is applied to the nearly 300 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation to every college that we cover. It s no easy accomplishment, but it s the reason that our college guides are such a great resource.
When reading our guides and looking at our college rankings, keep in mind that every college is different and that the students who make up each college are not uniform as a result, it is important to assess colleges on a case-by-case basis. Because it s impossible to summarize an entire college with a single number or description, each guide provides a dialogue, not a decision, that s made up of 20 different topics and hundreds of student quotes. In the end, we hope that this guide will serve as a valuable tool in your college selection process. Enjoy!
