Out-of-State Students

The Weather So, It's Spring Now, Right? Here at IU, we like to consider ourselves separate from the rest of the university realm sometimes, which is why we say we are our own separate nation-- Hoosier Nation, that is. Spinning off of the idea that we are separated because of the unique diversity...

According to a recent poll by the American Institute for Economic Research, Bloomington (home of the Hoosiers) is considered the 16th best college town in the nation. Now don't get me wrong, that's a respectable ranking; but the college towns selected before Bloomington are what upset me. For...

Yay! I'm an official WeAreIU blogger! Well I'm Sara Claire Gaspard. My first name is actually Sara and my middle name is Claire but since there are probably thousands of Sara/Sarah's in the world and I am favor my middle name i decided to combine the two like my College Counselor said "because it's...

At the beginning of this semester, I was hired as a Student Ambassador to write content for Freshmansupport.com, a website geared towards helping students like you learn more about prospective colleges. Over a two-week span, I spent over 20 hours researching and writing about IU. On this website,...

Wow, I can't believe that today makes in one month since I have moved on the IU campus. Its overwhelming, a month ago I just moved onto a campus where I didn't really know a lot of people just like maybe 80% of my freshman class. This has been the most "changing" month of my life. I made new...

Namaste, I'm Cheryl Faux (pronounced fox) and welcome to my blog! Before I start giving you guys the best advice ever, I thought it'd be good to give you a little background about me! I'm a direct admit freshman in the Kelley School of business. On my application I put that I was an Economic...

As my parents drove down Fee Lane, I squealed with more excitement as each building passed. Memorial Stadium, Assembly Hall, Briscoe, McNutt - finally, we arrived at Foster. I couldn't contain my joy. I was here, and finally here for good.  Almost 4 weeks later, I can't believe how much has...

The Hunger Dating Games are brutal at IU. Dating at IU is nearly impossible. Not fully impossible, but it’s hard. My high school sweetheart of three years broke up with me in early October of my freshman year (October of 2009, I’m old) and it took me two years to get over it (until October of 2011)....

I remember quite clearly the first time I started to miss Bloomington after being away from it for a somewhat extended period of time. It was freshman year, and first semester had just drawn to a close. I had gone from knowing virtually no one and battling a semester of homesickness, learning to...
