College guides written by students for students.Indiana University Students Tell It Like It IsWhat 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. Visiting campus isn't enough.Read our Indiana University insider's guide and discover what it feels like to be on campus for 4 years. Discover if Indiana University is Right For You.
