College Admissions

At orientation, we all received a "Must Do at IU: A Bucket List for the True Hoosier" with a list of IU traditions, big and small, to experience before graduation.

Awake at 6:30 a.m. and at Assembly Hall by 7, I was ready to wait in line for the IU-Michigan State basketball game.

Hello Hoosiers, it's Emmalie! Here goes the first post for my We Are IU blog. And this first post may be lengthy... But if you want/need/MUST HAVE RIGHT NOW the short version, scroll to the bottom for important points! I thought I would make this first post about why I chose IU. Also known as "From...

Greetings readers!  It's been a while since my last post, mostly because I've been incredibly busy over the course of the last two months with finals, moving out, and coming home to Honolulu, Hawaii.  I've been here for about a week and a half now, and I was lucky enough to have my boyfriend (who is...

This is a picture of my roommate and I during Welcome Week at the beginning of Freshman year. It feels like it was just yesterday... As my Freshman year is coming to a close, I have been thinking about what I would do if I had the chance to do it all over again... And the real answer is that I...

Just yesterday I had a conversation with a friend from my high school, Indianapolis Cathedral.  The student is finishing up her senior year within the next month and a half.
