And Notre Dame has the second best college football team in Indiana !

I have visited both universities; in my opinion, IU-Bloomington is more attractive than Notre Dame and Bloomington is a much nicer and more interesting town than South Bend (yuck).


excellent answer to a question I didn't ask

ND is BETTER academically and has a BETTER B-school


As you're not the OP, this thread is not about you.

The business school at Indiana University is excellent; better than Notre Dame in that it offers more options, more diversity,and better opportunities.

I went to Purdue and loved it from NY. ND, IU and Purdue provide a great college experience. I wouldn’t want to live in Indiana, but it was a great four years, and a fun extension in Chicago after.

My dc applied and got into Kelly. He chose another school and is overall happy, but has some minor regret about IU

Obviously spirits are very high in the town but it seems like a very nice, close-knit college town vibe. Surprisingly good restaurants. DS wants to apply and I fully support it, though of course I hope he ends up closer to home.



Hahahahaha perfect fit. More dummies.

What exactly compels you to react like a cockwobble in response to a sincere, positive post?

OP, I think there is a special charm to many land-grant flagships, especially in the Midwest. IU is great.


Oh, wow, this is a great word! I’ve never seen it before 😄

The campus is beautiful. We liked it and thought it was the best in Indiana and we toured all of them. Since he wants to study business, would be a good choice. The OOS tuition may be a negative however and perhaps not worth it compared to your own state flagship, unless your DS can get significant merit.

Kelly is a great business school. Apply if he has the stats and be done with it. (Indiana also has world class music and languages.)

Yes, IU’s campus is consistently on the most beautiful college campuses lists and Bloomington is regularly rated a top college town. It’s a great place to spend four years.
