    Am learning a lot

    The teachers here are generally really nice and easy to talk to. Sure, there are those certain professors you watch out for, but so does every college. The professors I've had so far are really easy-going for the most part, and made transitioning here from high school very smooth.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being here is awesome. Simple as that. I am generally a shy person, but living on campus has really given me the opportunity to meet awesome and various people and make new friends. In my lodge (yes, lodge. The housing here is amazing) people come over and we play board games and watch movies and we all just hang out. And if I ever need anything, I know there's someone here to talk to. The campus in it's entirety is very pretty. There's a lake and is laid out well for semi-weekly walks or runs. The pond is also really pretty to look at, and I get a view of it from my dorm. Just watch for goose poop when walking during the months the geese are here at the pond.
    Bang for the buck

    There are a TON of activities on campus for people to do. You get a good education and make plenty of friends, but that's not all that's makes a bang for your buck. There are many free events like dances, speeches, magic shows, concerts, lodge activities scheduled almost weekly by your CA's (Community Advisors). Most of which is free, and if not free, at least discounted. There's always something going on here!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are like I was and are nervous about large campuses, not looking forward to being just a number, fear not. The campus is small, and yet is spacious so you don't feel cramped. And the class sizes here are small, and all of my professors know me by my name. My largest class is my German class, which has maybe 20 people or so. It really is a great experience, but you have to experience. I suggest visiting here and seeing the campus for yourself.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning as much as I can. The professors and instructors are great and they really get involved with their students' educations.
    Am enjoying being here

    Student life around campus is perfect for my type of lifestyle. It's a great place to get an education and also the other students and all faculty make life around campus fun and exciting.
    Bang for the buck

    I pay a good portion of money to come here. I will say that I get the most for money because of how great the professors are.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always keep up with your studying, never get lazy, and try to stay focused on what you need to do...it all will pay off in the end!!
    Great for these types of students

    Indiana University Southeast is a great campus for almost anyone. When I say almost, I mean anyone who is willing to put out the effort to learn. Anyone looking for a party school needs to look elsewhere. We like to have fun at this campus, but we also know that our education comes first.

    Did learn a lot

    Great instructors. In all the time I attended, all of my classes were taught by MA's or PhD's. No grad students, yay!
    Did enjoy being here

    Beautiful campus.
    Many activities for resident AND commuter students.

    Bang for the buck

    Excellent value for in-state tuition.

    Am learning a lot

    I have been challenged by the teachers and professors. The classes are very interesting and a lot more fun than 15 yrs ago!!
    Am enjoying being here

    I have been generally accepted by all - teachers, classmates, school staff. I am a 42 yr old returning student and fit in just like I was 22.
    Bang for the buck

    I am from Hillview (Bullitt County, KY) and I still pay the in-state tuition charge for IN! It's a great value and a whole lot cheaper than the Louisville schools. It takes about 25 minutes to get to class, and parking isn't too bad if you hit it just right.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to check on-course a lot and your email for events and happenings. Get to the parking lot early and park on the back side and walk through campus. The campus is beautiful and has over 33 different types of trees. (I took Geography 307 this summer with Dr. Galvin!!)
    Great for these types of students

    If you are an older student and need to get back in the saddle, this is the place for you. The adult student center is a great place to hang out and Kim Pelle is a great asset for you to use. The staff in the admin offices are great and helpful, too.

    The classes are perfectly sized.
    The staff and professors are extremely helpful.
    There are lots of fun activities on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some classes fill up quick, so make sure you have some alternative classes planned out.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes provide a challenge, but there is plenty of help available on campus.
    Dorm Life

    I don't personally live in the dorm, but I've been in them. They aren't like standard dorms, they seem more like apartments.
    Food and Dining

    The food is good, there is variety and it tastes pretty good. You can also use your University ID as a sort of debit card to some nearby restaurants.
    What to do for fun

    There are countless clubs on campus, and there always seems to be an event happening.
    Bang for the buck

    You get a good education without an overly pricey tuition.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who prefer smaller sized classes and friendly people.
    Campus Safety

    I always feel very safe on campus, if any emergency arises there are speaker boxes throughout the campus to go to that directly contacts the Campus Police.

    An awesome place to learn. The small class sizes and student-oriented teachers encourage learning. The campus is also very safe and an awesome value.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go ask your teachers for help, that is why they are there and they are all more than willing to help. Also, be sure to be involved on campus because it will enhance your experience.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers take their material seriously and expect you to do the same. Exams are hard but you are paying for this education. Most classes will form a study group so that helps tremendously.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are new but I've never been in one.
    What to do for fun

    For such a small campus there is always something going on. The sports teams are worth checking out among all the other activities.

    The small class sizes are great for students who don't like huge classes. The housing on campus is fabulous for those who chose to live here. Overall, I personally love this college.
    Tips for prospective students

    When buying books, wait, not all professors make you have them! Once you are accepted and decide to go here don't wait too long to sign up for classes, they fill up fast! Talk to people in your classes and get to know them, it will make this college much more enjoyable.
    Academic Rigor

    The campus has all the classes that you need for most majors. The professors are mostly all great and willing to help you throughout the semester,
    Dorm Life

    The dorms here are amazing! Not only do you not have to share a bathroom with a whole floor, but you also get access to a full kitchen, dishwasher too!
    Food and Dining

    I've heard the food is really great here, but I actually have never ate in the dining. The dining area is nice and big with a few televisions. They even have signing and poetry readings in there sometimes.
    What to do for fun

    For fun you can get involved in organizations and go to Louisville where you can find anything to do!
    Great for these types of students

    This university is great for students who like more one on one communication with professors.
    Campus Safety

    This campus has real cops that have an office here, not just security guards.

    i really like the small campus atmosphere. it gives you the ability to know everyone personally which helps you adjust to the college lifestyle. i also like that you are able to have a car your freshman year.

    Dorm Life

    i love having a kitchen, living room, and bathroom in my dorm room. it allows me more freedom then i would otherwise have.
    Food and Dining

    the food is really good. however, i do not eat in the cafeteria often because i have my own kitchen. but when i do the food is always really fresh.
    What to do for fun

    it's an amazing school, with small class sizes, and great teachers. you get a chance to really feel like part of a much larger community. indiana university southeast allows you to excel as both a student, and as a member of the community.

    Food and Dining

    the food is pretty good, though the line can be rather long, and the hours for the cafeteria are not the most convenient if you live on campus.
    What to do for fun

    we two lakes you can fish in, an open tennis court, sand volleyball court, open gym for weightlifting and basketball, we also have several programs each week sponsored by campus life, student programming council, student government association, residence life and housing, or by one of the other student organizations.
    Bang for the buck

    tuition is very affordable, and at the end you have an iu degree, but at about half the price of attending iu bloomington.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    every year we have the nearly naked mile sponsored by the student alumni association. we also have a halloween party, 80's dance, spring luau, rock fight, and midnight madness.

    Am learning a lot

    The classes I am taking are very informative. I am seeing some things in a newer and more innovated way. Especially my art classes!
    Am enjoying being here

    Class will always be class. Some are fun, some are boring but my favorite thing about IUS is the campus! I live on campus, and I think it has been the best experience so far! Not only am I meeting a ton of new people, but I am learning how to be on my own. I live with 3 other girls. We have 2 bathrooms, our own kitchen and living area. It is like a mini-apartment except there is more common experience with all the neighbors. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get this full campus experience and how it has been more beneficial to me than wearing shoes.... in the winter...
    Bang for the buck

    Living on campus is pricey, but worth it!! The book are expensive (but that is everywhere! Unless you know how to work the system), but I'm only spending about $12000 a year, including all other expenses. It may seem like a ton of money, but compared to surrounding colleges this is nothing!
    Tips for prospective students

    One of the best things about this school is that it is not restricted to just class then going home. I am often found in the coffee shop playing chess, by the lake drawing or in the game room to hang out with the guys. There are always events going on and they are so much fun! I could go on and on with the events that have already taken place and its only October!
    Great for these types of students

    Students that get involved, and love to be involved (or if you hate the world and only want a degree, that's fine too).

    The professors at IUS seem to be really concerned with whether or not you are learning, and they will generally help you with any questions you have for them.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a nice campus with a good atmosphere. I could probably spend all day here.
    Bang for the buck

    There are some pretty interesting things going on almost all the time.
