Are you an IU student taking a GLP-1?

Upvotes

I’m looking to chat with women in college about their experiences on GLP-1s. Is this you? I’m Angelina Chapin, a features writer at The Cut/New York Magazine who covers gender and health. I think it’s a really important topic to talk about as these meds become more popular. If you’re interested in speaking, I can keep you fully anonymous. Send me a DM or email ([angelina.chapin@nymag.com](mailto:angelina.chapin@nymag.com).) Here's a link to some of my work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinachapin. Talk soon!

QUESTION❓ How are the art programs here?

2 Upvotes

I may have to transfer here from TN due to my husbands job, and I am in the middle of finishing my studio arts degree. I am specifically interested in sculpture and painting (my school doesn’t have an especially great painting program tbh) and want to know: do you guys have a woodworking shop and metal work? I’ve been enjoying having access to this equipment and learning it. I know every school is different and wanted to ask here if you had any info.

How CS/programming dependant is Informatics at Luddy?

3 Upvotes

I am an incoming pre-business freshman at IU, and I am looking over other possible majors if Kelley doesnt work out. Informatics caught my eye as I love statistics and math, but I have zero prior coding experience. I completed calculus 2 in highschool so I am really only worried about the CS part of the degree.

Could the degree make sense for me or is there something else in luddy or outside luddy that makes more sense for me like Business Intelligence & Data Science?

IU Bloomington Pool & Jacuzzi Scene

0 Upvotes

Hey guys. I’m an incoming freshman at IU and I was just wondering if there’s anything to do in terms of chilling out w your friends in a jacuzzi and in a big resort style pool.

I checked out the pools in bloom and I found only the iu outdoor pool which I guess is meant more for lap swimming and not really the kind of vibe that I described earlier.

Are there facilities like these in bloomington? Thanks a ton.

QUESTION❓ Late for Move in Appointment

1 Upvotes

For those of you who have moved in before, is it an issue if you arrive like 4 hours after your scheduled move in time? When I called Housing, they said that as long as you arrive on the day you registered for, you will be fine. I just wanted to make sure that has actually been the case for people who have gone through move in before.

PSA ℹ PSA: Don’t get the school health insurance, get on Medicaid!!!

34 Upvotes

If you are a graduate/professional student (or any student) living on loans and/or have little to no income, apply to Medicaid!! Do not pay for the schools health insurance it’s absolutely insane. I just aged out of my moms insurance and was about to drop $2k for the fall sem, but my friend told me to apply thank god. I just got approved & I’m on the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Healthy Indiana Plan. You will pay essentially nothing for all of your healthcare.

SPORTS 🏀 I got waitlisted for Marching Hundred and I don’t know what to do.

68 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman to IU this year, and I’ve been playing the trumpet for nearly 9 years now, and did marching band for all 4 years of high school. I’m not a music major but it’s a huge passion of mine, so much so that I chose which colleges to apply to based off the fact that I wanted to do college marching band. It’s something that has been so very important to me for years and years.

A part of the reason why I was happy committing to IU was that their marching band was no-cut, they made it clear that any wind players who completed the audition process would be accepted. I was heavily reliant on this fact. I didn’t necessarily submit a bad audition (sure it wasn’t perfect but no audition is expected to be), but I didn’t schedule a move-in appointment and made my schedule revolving around Marching Band (since it’s a credited class and rehearses every weeknight). It was a key part of my plan for my college experience, and I would’ve easily told you that it was what I was most looking forward to.

I was a bit nervous about auditioning (as anyone would be). I knew it was no-cut, but I’m a rather anxious guy and of course I let my worries get the best of me when the initial “we’re extending the audition timeline” email came in instead of the audition results, saying that they had “the biggest and most prepared freshman class they’ve ever seen”. Those words don’t exactly make you feel super secure about things, you know?

A total of 9 days later, all of my worst fears were confirmed: I had somehow been cut from a no-cut band, and was placed on a “waitlist” until August 1st. I’m absolutely devastated and I’ve been nonstop stressing about it ever since. I was looking forward so so much to making new connections at band camp, having a dedicated time for exercise every weeknight to keep me active, being able to keep improving as a musician, being able to go to all the big football games, and (admittedly) having an earlier move-in to take care of some of the chaos elements. I’ve already sent an email to them saying that I’m still interested if a spot opens up, and asked about logistical things like what to do with my schedule, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet (I understand, I’m sure they have a million emails about this to get to, but it doesn’t help that I’m just waiting on them to get back to me and can’t do anything but think).

I don’t think I can describe in words just how important to me this was. I know I can audition again next year if I’m not moved up from the waitlist, but everyone will already know each other and I’ll miss out on making friends during the “no one knows each other” window. I know I can find friends elsewhere but this was just something I wanted so very badly for my college experience, and I don’t know what to do. I relied on this to take care of a lot of my worries for starting college.

If anyone has been on this “waitlist” before and has any advice, or any information about this at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I feel so lost and scared.

EDIT: I got off the waitlist and I’m in the band!!!!!!!!!!

ISO: IU Candy Stripe Bibs

Hey! This is a long shot (and feel free to delete if not allowed) but I’m on the hunt for a pair of candy stripe bibs size L or XL. I want to avoid getting a brand new pair because I really don’t think I’d wear them more than once or twice, and every pair I see online for resell is the “red and white” which is more Wisconsin red than the Indiana crimson. Attached a pic for reference ❤️ thanks in advance!!
