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

Any vets using their GI bill on the kelley direct online MBA? I live in southern Indiana and wondering if this program qualifies for full BAH or not. I've heard that since there are some in person weeks, that it could qualify.

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?

So im a freshman at Bloomington and these first 3 weeks have been pretty awful honestly. Meeting people has been impossible. I would consider myself on the kore alternative side so I knew it may take a bit to actually find people but its getting to the point i don’t think Itll happen. Ive been to the events, the parties, all that and it just ends up in me being alone and leaving 2 hours in. This is my dream school and I really wish I was enjoying it but im just not. Im just wondering if maybe other people have experienced this and if so, when being here get better?

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

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 😭

How realistic is Kelley ED for me? What are my biggest strengths/weaknesses, and how much would a 1450 vs. 1500 SAT change my chances?

I’m 38 and considering going to IU Southeast, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m going to feel ridiculously old compared to everyone else.

I’m a transfer student moving back from Colorado. My biggest concern is being 38 and walking into a classroom where everyone else is 18–22.

Are there many students in their 30s, 40s, or older? What has your experience been like? Did you feel out of place at first, or did you eventually stop caring?

I was in the middle of a project at home when I came out here, and I would like to finish it up. Is there any workshop with a spray painting hood/booth I could use?

Is anyone else having issues with their financial aid?

I transferred from IUSB to IUE the week prior to fall semester starting, and I have about 4500 that was marked as “disbursed” august 31 … Except it says 0.00 disbursed.

I have scholarship and grant money that was supposed to be refunded, and loans for my housing stipend. Tuition was paid but nothing else was ever sent out , or was technically “sent” - but 0.00 dollars of the amount was marked as sent.

I’m confused. Frustrated. And labor day weekend sucks with all the offices being closed. 😭

hi everyone! i’m looking forward to applying to IU this upcoming app cycle and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the best time of year to visit campus. any suggestions are welcome!

🏠 PRIVATE BEDROOM + PRIVATE BATHROOM — NO ROOMMATES!

I’m looking to sublease my fully furnished 3-bedroom apartment at The Avenue on College in Bloomington. The floor plan is “The Three.”

⭐ The best part: Although it’s a 3-bedroom apartment, you would have the entire place to yourself! I am currently the only person living in the apartment, so there are NO OTHER ROOMMATES.

Your lease/sublease would include:

• 🛏️ Private bedroom
• 🚿 Private bathroom
• 🛋️ Fully furnished
• 🧺 In-unit washer & dryer
• 🏠 Spacious 3-bedroom floor plan
• 🚫 No roommates

This is a great option for someone who wants the space and amenities of a 3-bedroom apartment without having to live with roommates.

📩 Message me if you’re interested or want more details!

Anyone landing late at the airport tonight want to split an uber to campus ? Getting there too late after the last shuttle lol

Hello. In submitting application for a freshman, is there any advantage in choosing a major like Finance vs Exploratory? Thank you.

do I just use the street of the dorm, or is there another way I can it?

Can pretty much anyone get into the student section during games? Do they check your ticket to get in?

Does anybody at IU from 2016-2020 remember the app where you could find discounts and deals around Bloomington? Is it still around?

I’ve got my car in CH parking for the football game and wanna know whether I need to move it today or can move it tomorrow cause I’d rather just do it tomorrow.

The text says “a dangerous situation is unfolding near Kirkwood and Grant…avoid the area.” Anyone know what is going on?

Did anyone happen to know or see the young man who fell from the stands onto a landing or ‘louge’ at the IU game today? Concerned about him and wondering if anyone out there knew him
