[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I have two kids there too.  They love it and I am anticipating a 3rd there shortly.  Neither of mine are greek and have found their own crowd independent of each other.  One in Kelley and one doing a International Relations and foreign language (which is one of the specialties which I didn't know).  Both have had great classes.  Kids are studious or at least the crowds my kids are in.  Lots of kids from IN and IL but also plenty of OOS.  Travel is really easy.  One of the hotels has a shuttle from the airport hourly which most of the kids grab.  Mine also go home with friends on breaks or weekend which is nice also.

Bloomington is a great college town.  A ton to do for everyone and the campus is definitely one of the most beautiful around.  It can be a party school or it isn't.  I will tell you that the fakes DO NOT work more most of the college bars.  Huge crackdown on those.  Obviously kids still party but you won't find underaged at the bars.  I love that fact that there is a lot of live music there too.  My kids are really into catching shows both here and there.

Sports are huge.  Yes the football team has sucked the last few years but basketball is huge.  Kids need to get a sports pass ($500ish) for the year then you can get into the lottery for men'sbasketball games. No gurantee you will get a ticket but there is a lot of swapping that happens at the last minue.  Assembly Hall is packed for every game.  Mine love going to the women's basketball games and my DS has friends on the rugby team so he goes to those.

Mine have come back to DCand gone abroad for summers.  One is off to Chicago for an internship this summer and the other will be back here.  Plenty of DMV kids there who they now hang out with when home.

Really just a great school.  We have been really please.[/quote]
+1 on the sports culture. IU women’s basketball team  playing right now and the game is completely sold out.  17,000+ in attendance.[/quote]Because they're playing Caitlin Clark, and she sells out everywhere. [/quote]

I went to a sell out women’s game last season that didn’t feature Clark. So, she’s a draw, but don’t overstate things. IU has a women’s basketball team on par with Iowa and rabid fans.

Last night’s beat down of Iowa & Clark didn’t have a ton of people cheering for her. They came to root for Sara, Mackenzie, Sydney, Yarden, and Chloe. [/quote]
