Outstanding school, campus, teachers, & location!!

Indiana University Bloomington is a great school. I attended this school for 2 semesters and didn't want to leave! There are so many classes it is unreal. The campus literally looks like a wildlife reserve or park. There are so many activities and free events (great for broke college students) that… read full review »

Critical Review

A quick decision, party hard or study hard.

IU is a good school if you go by the classes and the teachers, but it has a party reputation for a reason. One look at the student body will tell you how serious they are about their education. It's easy to fall into the mindset when you're surounded by it. The majority of… read full review »

If I could do college over again, I would have tried to go somewhere else. IU just wasn't the experience I thought I was going to get. The diversity is great and I met a lot of people but you get lost in the crowd. I have a double BS and 4 minors so I kinda got my money's worth but I don't really feel like I learned much. I learned so much more in one year of my Master's than I did at IU for five years. I don't think professors hold people to as high of a standard as they should so I don't think I got nearly as much out of my education as I should have. … read full review »

I attended IU for graduate school in Counseling. I graduated in 1995 and found I couldn't get a job in WI, MI, IL, IN, or OH without an MSW degree. Funny, my counseling program never told me that. Indiana didn't have licensing requirements for counselors until long after I'd left the state and I was there until 1997. So, their program did not prepare me for licensure in any state. To this day I am still trying to get all the credits I need to be able to sit for the licensing exam in my state. It has caused multiple employment problems for me and my Mother doesn't understand why I can't get a… read full review »

I feel that I earned a good education at Indiana University Bloomington. I graduated with a BS in Computer Science in december 1999 and have been employed ever since as a Systems Analyst at a leading research based pharmaceutical company. I was very impressed with the beautiful campus and challenging CS courses in which I learned some great fundamentals. — One nice thing about the degree is that there are numerous other individuals who share the same alma mater. That can only increase your chances of success in the workplace as you may have an immediate bond with… read full review »
