What's Indiana University like? Is it a good school? how is the school of arts and sciences there like?

We Answered:

I am currently a senior at Indiana University, majoring in management, and minoring in entrepreneurship. I have been here for 4 years so far, and I honestly love it. It's a sprawling campus, with a very large population of students, which has always been a big part of its appeal to me. I enjoy how much there is to do and be a part of on campus.

I'm not sure where you are transferring from, if it is a large or smaller school, but IU is definitely a huge school. Some people have concerns over the size of campus and class sizes, but I personally never found it to be a problem. Classes are large at some of the lower levels, but they tend to trickle down into smaller classes as you advance in your major.

As for stuff to do around campus, if you're into sports, I know one of my favorite activities is tailgating in the fall with the hundreds of students and parents that come out to defend the rock. If you're into music, Bloomington also has a really diverse music scene. I personally, love going to live shows, and at local music venues like The Bluebird, Bears Place, Waldron Arts Center etc there's a band almost every night.

As for the school of arts and sciences, I only have a little big of experience with that. Before I changed my major to management, I was a graphic design major, taking class at the fine arts building. I enjoyed the atmosphere there, but I found out that other people were actually really good at art, and that maybe it was more of a hobby for me :) Since I changed so early, I never got too far into the program, but I know friends who like it.

I guess it really boils down to what you specifically want to do. I would suggest trying to get a hold of an adviser at the school of arts and sciences, and they could give you more information, or even set up a meeting with you to discuss the program you are interested in. Also, I know that in the summers especially, student tour guides are always showing prospective students around campus, so maybe you could look into that.

I hope this helps a little. If you have any specific questions let me know, I will try to answer as best as I can!

When does Indiana University tell you if you have earned merit based financial aid?

We Answered:

Do you have the information needed to set up your OneStart account? If so, do that, then check to see if you are eligible for any selective scholarships. If you were going to get an automatic merit scholarship, I think that should have been mentioned in your acceptance letter.

Natalie Said:

Is Indiana University a good college for Architecture?

We Answered:

Indiana University-Bloomington offers neither engineering nor architecture.

If you want to stay in Indiana for engineering, go to Purdue (public) or Rose-Hulman (private).

If you want to stay in Indiana for architecture, go to Ball State (public) or Notre Dame (private and hard to get into).

Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago may be a good choice for architectural engineering.

Margaret Said:

I have a question about Ball State University(Indiana). Is it a hard school to get in?

We Answered:

Yes, theyll still accept you. If you do really well on your SAT or ACT, then I'm sure youll get in. Their average student score on the SAT is 1550, & only 16% of their current freshman class was in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. Dont worry, its definitely not a hard school to get into, because they also accept 73% of applicants, so you should have no problem getting in

How do I qualify for in-state tuition at Indiana University-Bloomington?

We Answered:

Who is eligible for resident student status?

U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 21 years of age or emancipated are eligible for resident student status after they have been physically present in Indiana for twelve consecutive months (prior to the first day of classes) without the predominant purpose of education.

Students who are under 21 years of age and unemancipated are eligible for resident student status if their parents or legal guardians reside in Indiana. Unemancipated students under 21 years of age whose parents or legal guardians move to Indiana can be classified as resident students without first living in the state for 12 months.

However, in cases of legal guardianship agreements, it must be shown that the guardianship agreement was sought for reasons other than to enable the student to become eligible for resident student status or for the purpose of attending an Indiana high school. An official copy of the court documents that outline the guardianship agreement must be provided to the University.

Effective Fall 2007, students with immigration statuses which permit the establishment of a domicile in the United States may be eligible to pay resident fees provided the individuals have otherwise satisfied the conditions for resident student status. Current eligible classifications are: A-1, A-2, A-3, E-1, E-2, E-3, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, H-1B, H-4, I, L-1, L-2, O-1, O-3, V-1, V-2, and V-3. Continuing eligibility to remain classified as a resident student for fee-paying purpose depends upon the continued maintenance of eligible immigration status. Students with eligible classifications who feel they may be eligible for a change in status should contact the Office of the Registrar for more information.
