IU Future Freshman ?'s

I am a senior accepted to IU! I’m 90% sure I’m going to IU next year, I just have a few questions.

-What’s the best freshman dorm/living center for me? I’m social, like to party and hope to be surrounded by friendly people who will introduce themselves and make friends quickly. I would prefer being around a group that does like to go out on weekends to parties, but not constantly if that makes sense?

-IU has been ranked as a party school before. How would you describe the overall party scene at IU? Is it too much?

-Where do most business majors live, and how are their social lives? I know the business school at IU is tough.

-How does rush work for fraternities. I’m from out of state if that makes a difference, so I won’t know anyone. Best way for me to meet new people and join a frat?

-Last question. Is Bloomington a good college town? Do students get bored or are there things to do around?
Thanks for the help!

  1. If you are majoring in business, I would recommend the KLLC. If not the KLLC, northwest and central are both good.
  2. Parties are always there if you want to go, but nobody is going to force you to go out. Occasionally running into a few drunk people in the dorms is unavoidable, but it is what you make it. I have never felt that the party scene is dominating.
  3. The business school is challenging, but there is a good work-life balance. The work is rarely overwhelming. I am a sophomore majoring in accounting and I can usually hang out with my friends when they want to.
  4. No idea on frats, sorry.
  5. There are definitely good restaurants around Bloomington, but I wouldn't say there is a ton to do. I spend a lot of time playing pickup basketball, tennis, and going to IU sporting events. Occasionally I will go to the weekly free movie in the union, but that's most of what I do on campus. I rarely feel bored though. Between schoolwork, friends, and the aforementioned things, I am usually doing something.

If you have any other questions about IU/Kelley, feel free to ask.
