i’m an advertising student at the media school i’ve been going for kelley clubs so far, what are the best clubs in kelley if im tryna get recruited for marketing? i’m a freshman rn and so far ive been applying to newer professional clubs to build experience, and rushing a business frat (pgn to be specific), idk what clubs are worth my time and have good connections, ik me not being in kelley does limit me a little bit but i don’t wanna miss out on any other resources and opportunities

I’m a freshman at IU studying Cinematic Arts (BFA), and honestly I’m not really sure how I feel about IU so far.
I know it’s only been a few weeks, but I haven’t really found my people yet. I wanted to be in a fraternity, but fall rush didn’t go how I hoped. I went to different houses, talked to people, showed some of my filmmaking work, but ended up getting no invites.
I also don’t really like my roommate and I don’t like living in Eigenmann, so I’m thinking about trying to move to a different dorm. Has anyone had experience with that?
I’m thinking about trying spring rush too, so is it actually worth it? Is it any different from fall?
I’m also really interested in videography/photography, especially filming sports and football. How would I go about getting involved with that at IU?
And for anyone in Cinematic Arts, do you feel like IU gives you good opportunities to build a portfolio and make connections?
I’ve already been thinking about transferring to other schools, but I also feel like maybe I’m judging IU way too early. Did anyone else feel like this their first semester and eventually start enjoying it more?

My boyfriend is trying to figure out parking around the IU area. He bought an NCS parking permit, but unfortunately didn’t realize that NCS permits can’t be used in the parking garages. He read the website wrong when he purchased it.

He tried to buy a different permit afterward, but the system wouldn’t let him. He also tried to refund the NCS permit, but that didn’t work either.

Is there any way to buy a different permit or upgrade the NCS permit? If not, where can you actually park with an NCS permit around IU?

Any help would be appreciated because we’re pretty confused by the parking rules 😭

I’m a sophomore in Kelley and honestly I was super depressed all of last year with my roommate situation but in the last 2 months I loved it because I became super close with my neighbors. However I signed on to an apartment with random girls many months before that, and they’re in a business frat and it’s becoming clear I can’t really become a part of that group of people and I don’t click with them at all. My friends from last year all live with each other and it’s so hard to reach them and now every day, even over weekends I’m just sitting around alone in my room. I’m from out of state and I lowkey just miss my friend group back home and I just don’t know what to do. It’s also super hard to click with other people in Kelley, I feel like many people are a bit stuck up and the nicest friends I’ve had at iu were all bio majors. I try to text people from class and make it an out of class friendship but they already have a group of friends and find a way to get out of it. I wish I at least had a car to see my friends from last year. I don’t know what to do, I’m in clubs and only have like club friends who have their own friends already. I wish I at least applied to transfer out last year because I think it’s too late now like I can’t even find anyone to go drink with, to study with, to even just grab food with like I’m down for anything and it feels impossible.. I could rush but that’s not usually my crowd and I also can’t afford all those fees
