<p>For those of you applying for Housing and are interested in Business take a look at the Kelley Business Living Learning Center. </p>
<p>My son elected to be in this and liked it alot. This year it was the whole dorm of McNutt-Crone. They plan to expand it next year.</p>
<p>It tended to be more focused students in business. It also had some advantages of classes in McNutt only for the KLLC. Very convient and quiet.</p>
<p>I agree with Cheezwhiz that the KLLC is a great option. The support system of like-minded students and faculty advisers is excellent. The “quiet” part, however, might depend on the floor. My daughter’s floor was not as quiet and she said it was known as the most social one. She happened to like the mix of “work hard/play hard”, but no one should think they’ll be in a quiet dorm if they choose KLLC.</p>
<p>As much as I love the KLLC, I think it is important to acknowledge the downsides of living there.</p>
<p>Competition is exaggerated because you can never get away from it–like in high school, we were competitive, etc., but you could come home and relax. As a KLLC resident, I come back to the dorm and through the wall hear the girl next door screaming at her mom on the phone, “NO MOM, THREE Bs IS NOT OKAY.” I sit there thinking, “Three Bs really isn’t a big deal” and then quickly realize, “**** man, if I had three Bs I’d kill myself.” There’s so much pressure and so much competition. In the KLLC, everyone is in the same classes and striving for the same things (like the Business Honors Program, for example). It gets really intense. I would say that the KLLC is a very high-stress environment. I personally thrive off that but I know others, especially as freshman, may not.</p>
<p>Hahaha^^^ I feel the exact same way about grades. If it was not for my pre-med roommate with a 3.95 GPA last year I probably would not have the same feeling of competiton. (He always rubbed it in my face that we were competeing against each other for graduating with distinction/high distinction, and as my “College is new and I want to start on the right foot” phase ended, my “I want to beat my roommate” phase began).</p>
<p>My son is going to be a Kelley Living Learning Community (KLLC) resident trying to get into Kelley after freshman year. We are paying TOP dollars for IUB as out of State residents so he has a LOT of pressure to make it into Kelley, otherwise we may need to change our college plans and go to a less expensive institution. He decided to take 13 credits in the Fall and 15 in the Spring. I would like to know how difficult are the following classes and what is your suggestion to increase his chances to get into Kelley next year.</p>
<p>BL BUS-K 201
LEC (11196) </p>
<p>BL BUS-K 201
DIS (11178) </p>
<p>BL BUS-X 100
LEC (19888) </p>
<p>BL BUS-X 255
LEC (22573) </p>
<p>BL MATH-M 119
LEC (21095) </p>
<p>BL TEL-T 101
LEC (16226) </p>
<p>BL TEL-T 101
DIS (16242)</p>
<p>I know someone answered your question on a different thread, but honestly, all classes can be hard or easy depending on the individual and their work ethic. Some of the stereotypically hardest classes in Kelley are some of the easiest, if one walks in with this mentality that “I’ve got to and will do my best” and you start and end with that attitude, while if some classes you walk in and think “This is a blow-off class” and suddenly you realize half way through the semester you just got a D on the midterm and have a B in the class. </p>
<p>Anyone can make it and do well in any class. It just takes discipline, a strong work ethic, and a constant drive.</p>

<p>What is the criteria for graduating with distinction, high distinction, and highest distinction?</p>
<p>Graduates whose grade point averages are in the highest 1 percent and who complete at least 60 credits at Indiana University are graduated with “highest distinction”; those whose grade point averages are in the next highest 4 percent and who complete at least 60 credits at Indiana University are graduated with “high distinction”; and the remaining 5 percent who complete at least 60 credits at Indiana University are graduated with “distinction.”</p>

<p>oh ho ho thank you very much</p>
My son just heard that he was not accepted to the Kelley LLC. Have you ever heard of anyone petitioning for acceptance after being rejected?
How did he get notified? I haven’t gotten anything yet
