<p>Everyone should stop worrying about IU and its party school reputation. Yes IU has a lot of parties, yes it is a very social atmosphere, yes many students drink. If that's not your style you will fit in at IU perfectly. It is a campus of over 40,000 students there is something for everyone. No one would force you to go to parties, no one would condemn you for getting a good GPA. If IU has a better program for what you want to do, don't let its "reputation" scare you away. I'm just so sick of everyone thinking that all you do at IU is party and everyone blacks out every night. That is not how it is, nobody is gonna pour shots down your throat.</p>
