[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  I wonder if you're aware how gross this entire paragraph is. Like, OMG, they aren't backwards hicks in Indiana! They've actually left the state and some even vote Democrat![/quote]

You're a moron.  Much of the common DCUM speculation about IU (and about many other state schools from different regions) is: the in-state students all already have their own friends and come from a different background than prosperous, diverse DMV so it can be hard to get to know them well; in-state students generally face easier admissions standards than OOS and certainly pay less so maybe they're not as academically motivated; IU is located in a state that's fairly famous for right wing culture wars so that might be a big cultural adjustment for kids from the mostly blue DMV/East Coast; IU is in the Midwest and that's mostly cornfields (!) so it probably feels isolated.    It's actually useful to see each of those misconceptions addressed and rebutted very specifically.   If someone trying to be helpful (and btw providing entirely complimentary assessments about Indiana) triggers an urge in you to virtue signal and say "gross!" then you should get a life and probably get off the site.

I'm a moron? At least I don't judge an entire state because of its perceived politics. You're ignorant. [/quote]

Your viewpoint has been run out of this thread…sorry, but we will encourage all the posters like the PP to provide honest feedback that we all care about.

Go annoy people on other threads.[/quote]
