 | Quite Bright | This is a college where you get out of it what you put into it. People have to remember that it is a state college. It is not going to be as squeaky clean as some of the other ones. In my experience, the faculty members are great--very knowledgeable and helpful. Many people here are nice. The departments offer very good programs. It is very cost efficient. I really enjoy it here and I know I made the right choice. I only have three complaints. One--some of the buildings are run-down. For me this isn't a huge issue because I've lived in worse. But if you're from a big city or rich family, it might bother you. Two--Terre Haute sucks. I can't speak to the nightlife because I don't party, but otherwise it's boring and kinda shady. Plus, people here can't drive. There's a lot of road rage and running of red lights. Third, and most importantly, a lot of the STUDENTS here are kind of low life people or are just not very pleasant in general. There's a lot of Jerry Springer type stuff that goes on in the middle of the night and campus police shows up--at least in the freshman towers. Luckily, most of these people will drop out by sophomore year. If you are good at ignoring nasty people, you'll be fine. Overall I would definitely recommend this school, especially if you are going into teaching, psychology, or social work. You just have to know what you're getting yourself into, have a willingness to be patient, and remember that you are here for an EDUCATION. All the stupid outside stuff doesn't matter. | Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: D | | | |

| Bright | Where do I even begin? ISU is a big joke to most people in Indiana, and for good reason. First off Terre Haute is the armpit of America, having collapsed into economic and cultural ruin half a century ago. People here are almost entirely toothless rednecks spreading STDs to each other and ISU is known as "I Screwed Up." As far as professors, don't expect much. The better qualified ones all took posts at IU or Purdue instead. | Social Life: B+, Collaboration/Competitive: F | | | |

| Bright | ISU is a horrible place. It's not a school it's a business where they try to make money off the students any way possible. Some departments are really helpful if you talk to the right people. However, in others nothing gets done until you start getting mean and threatening to leave or go to someone above them. It's a complete waste of money and I'm transferring to another school asap so I can get a job outside of Terre Haute after college. The school teaches high school classes for three times the amount. I wish I would have gone to Ivy Tech and then transferred my credits elsewhere. | Collaboration/Competitive: B-, Education Quality: F | | | |
