In terms of academics, I like this school. I don't even mind the large lecture classes- it means less busywork. However, there is a downside. Many students here are overly absorbed in the party scene, and it isn't even a particularly good party scene. If you don't like going to frat parties, waiting in line for half an hour to get a watery beer and watching moronic youth vomit in the halls and urinate on walls, then be wary; for in terms of a social life, Indiana University has little else to offer. What I find shocking is the fact that the majority of students here were even admitted at all. IU is a relatively selective school for its size, so I expected most students to be slightly more intelligent than a rock. Not the case. I was riding a bus the other day and heard a girl ask another student where she was from. The girl replied that she was from Louisiana. "Is that northern or southern Kentucky?" was the inquirer's response. And the sad thing is, this is not out of the ordinary. I hear similiar idiotic discourse on a daily basis. I am going crazy. I plan on transferring next semester. :)
