<p>No worries A2. Your shirt can be altered to say "Number 2 in the BIG ten".</p>
<p>I don't care if they are sixth or 4th or whatever, but is the business school building for undergrads really run down?</p>
<p>I think you have to visit the school to get a feel for it. The graduate school is very nice, the undergrad school definitely isn't as nice. There are some nice parts, some poor parts. It definitely needs to be upgraded/replaced.</p>
<p>I'm really surprised parts of the undergrad business school need to be upgraded or replaced. I didn't read that in any trip reports. ;)</p>
<p>Well, we just visited on 3/2, and I didn't see any conditions that screamed fix me. Is the undergrad building older? Yes, but so what? </p>
<p>What I care about is the learning that goes on inside the building. The presentation technology we saw was up to date. I didn't see anything that I thought would hinder the learning process.</p>
<p>I think this is getting a little blown out of proportion. If you are looking for a college where every building is brand new and in perfect condition, I wish you the best of luck.....and let me know if you find something. I guarantee you that you can go to any campus across the country and point out buildings that need updates, that's just how it is. IllinoisMom is right, you should focus on the learning that goes on. It's not like you have to walk around huge potholes on the sidewalks and wear your mold mask in the buildings.</p>
<p>If you're worried that IU is too rundown....go visit. Don't read something and believe it....you have to see things for yourself and form your own opinions. Choosing any college based on what you read or what someone tells you is a terrible idea.</p>
<p>Keeping things posi, I saw that Cramer from "Mad Money" is doing a show from Kelley on April 4th. Booyah.</p>
<p>Wow! This is the definition of a fall from grace. Well, rejoice, IU is still in the upper echelon according to US News. </p>
<p>As for Jim Cramer, it seems his college visits have been deteriorationg, First he attended Tuck, then Harvard, after that UMich, and now Kelley? Where will he go next? a cc.</p>
<p>is the next booyah! 20 March actually before Kelley.</p>
<p>Cramer. He was funny on Sinefeld but then there was that thing in the comedy club a few months ago...</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://www.cramerwatch.org%5B/url%5D">www.cramerwatch.org</a>
It's Cramer vs Leonard the Wonder Monkey for stock picks. They are pretty close.</p>
<p>So people want to make Kelley fall 8 spots because they can't sit in an "ok" classroom for 1 hours and 15 minutes?</p>
<p>Seriously folks, this is getting trivial. Personally, the classrooms are sufficient for me, the professors rock (in the 300+ level classes). If you are a direct admit, don't worry about your advisers, they rule. The regulars, not so much. </p>
<p>You don't need advising after 1st semester, plan everything out on your own, print out the REQs and find classes to take. Not that hard. advisers are almost useless. I planned this semester's classes, and its been fun!</p>
<p>PickaProf.com much better then advisors.</p>
<p>This post is a year old. Look at the link. The new Business Week rankings place Kelley at 16th.</p>
<p>This is a link to the new ratings.</p>

<p>Actually the original post is from 2005, meaning it is 4 years old, not one year–so pasting a reply to it in 2009 (like I’m doing now) makes no sense at all–since it just confuses people who see the title and don’t understand the date.</p>
<p>For this reason, steelersngators, you should create a new post if you want to tell us about Business Week’s ratings.</p>
<p>Having said that, can we please have some news that matters? Nobody cares about Business Week’s ratings anyway. They are about as meaningful as the University of Illinois’ admission policy (which, for those who aren’t following the latest happenings, was shown to be based upon political connections and not upon academic achievement). There have been six resignations at the University of Illinois and with their Board of Regents already, with more to come, I’m sure.</p>
<p>^^ lol I thought this thread was dead :)</p>
