Date: Dec 22 2015
Major: Accounting (This Major's Salary over time)
Pros: Education is great. If you look around long enough, you'll find some people worth meeting. Sure the tuition is huge, but there are other schools charging an extra $20k/year for the same quality education. All teachers have been awesome. There are a lot of trashy parties if you like trashy parties. There are a lot of trees if you like trees. I hear Lil Wayne is performing here next year if you like him. You probably don't though.

Cons: Everyone is from indiana or chicago. Even though it's college, everyone still hangs out with their high school friends. Weed out classes are all over the place and classes seen as too easy get made much harder for the next semester. Indiana students usually walk in with 4 billion credit hours, making the out of state people take the leftover classes when scheduling. The school is too big for its own good. Put 40,000 in the middle of nowhere and of course it'll be a party school. Everyone wants to go greek but 200 years of legacies, not many good houses, and all the high school connections make it unrealistic. Literally thousands compete for 25 spots. A lot of clubs have max caps too, so not all activities will take you.

A lot of these problems can be avoided if you're coming from in state. Out of staters, don't expect to become campus famous. I'm liking it here, but all the other people from my hometown transferred within the first year. Definitely know if your major's education and the price tag are worth it before going into this. It's definitely not what I pictured in terms of the student body, but if you're outgoing enough that's only a small disappointment. Overall, I'm out of state and still getting what I'm paying for, which is a lot.
