Here's an outsider view, I have no personal experience as to the academic aspects A high school friend of mine went to IU and really liked it a lot. I visited him once during Little 500 weekend (the big bike race depicted in the film "breaking Away") and it was a lot of fun. I and maybe a dozen others fell through the loft-roof of barn when it gave way during a keg party, so that was fairly memorable. The campus was pleasant and the local music scene at the time was acceptable. Thet's all I can offer, I'm sure others will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 IU's got a great campus, so great that I'll be going there next year! I'm planning on majoring in some kind of business major. IU has the Kelley School of Business in Bloomington. It's rated the best in the nation for business. I'll post a link to the campus site, if you want to check that out.

SuperSteve Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I know a bunch of people who go there. Two of them wrestle, and have not said anything bad about the school. You know you will get a good school in the Big Ten (obviously not Ivy or anything, but you see what I am saying). There is an Aussie on the Rowing team here at MSU, and I can ask her what it was like adapting to an American college while playing a sport if you would like.

Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 No disrespect intended but I thought that Pennsylvania had the highest rated school of business. Penn, aka The Wharton school of business is constantly ranked as the top business school. Amongst Penn other Top 5 schools are Michigan, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and your Harvard type schools. Indiana's is pretty good. As far as MBA programs, Northwesterns is supposed to be top dog. But for public Schools, Michigan is probably one of the best in the country. Thats hopefully where I'll be going in a year and a half. Joint MBA/Law Degree here I come...first up my undergrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that'd be great if u could do that Steve. I think my buddy wants to go, he's just deciding whether he should go next year or not. It'd be cool if he did, cos I'm prob gonna go to America in a few years as well and work ova there, and it'd be nice to know sum1 from here as well. Sounds like a good uni though.

southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 IU is a great school. Also one of the few places in IN that you will get an honest to goodness multicultural experience. If I had gone to a "big" school IU is where I was going to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
