Would you recommend it?
Nice cause you have roomates ( I was in a 4 bedroom appartment) but each of you has his own bedroom you have 2 in-house bathroom and a washer which saves a lot of time and is way cleaner than the floor shared bathrooms and toilets in the single dorms which are outside your bedroom. It is also really spacious to live in. Bad thing is that you can't open windows in any housing on campus.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Lots of bars on Kirkwood and sports events (football, basketball...) and frat parties BUT you have to be 21 and it's really hard to get into bars and buy drinks if you are not.
🎓 Uni life at Indiana University
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I took hard classes essentially in Finance like accouting for M&A, Money, banking and capital markets, Intermediate Corporate Finance, Audit and Venture Capital. So, If you want to work and are really willing to do finance at a good level you should do the same combination which is really interconnected between these classes. But if you want to enjoy a bit less of homework and easier class, which I would do if I had to restart, you should'nt take these classes but easier 100s and 200s classes.
Do you have some tips?
Campus amazing and really beautiful with a many cool infrastructres. Registration pretty long and complex when you want to go to the US so do it early and especially for your VISA. If you have the american dream and want to live like in these american movies you should go. But if you want to have more adventures maybe go to South America or Asia. Also Bloomington is a small city so not much to do outside campus.
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
New York really cheap for the flight, Chicago realy easy and fast, cheap for flight. I went to Boston and friends went to Miami also.
🌆 Bloomington vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Bloomington?
Nothing to do except bars in the city. Transport not really easy if you don' have a car you need o take buses. Campus is funnier.
💡 Other Tips
Try to meet other students and exchange and have a good group of friends directly when you arrive. Go to all the events you won't regret it and try to say yes often.
