IUB on this year's ranking list:

Indiana University Bloomington is a public, research university with over 40,000 students located in one of the most charming college towns in the United States. IU is also home to the famous Little 500, a bicycle race modeled on the Tour de France. Students compare it to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The police get a little heavy, says Caleb, a Communications Senior, but that is expected when you have DMX, Three 6 Mafia, and the Ying Yang twins in town.

The rest of the year is more low-key, although not by much. Sam, a Freshman in Biology, says, Though we are a

'dry' campus, it doesn't show. There is a party pretty much every night, whether in the frats or a house on Grant. Indianapolis isn't far away for those with cars, but Bloomington, or B-town, is a much more vibrant college town than most, and there is always something for people to do if they look for it.

Jessica, a Communications Junior, says it best. Although some people may think that Indiana's campus resembles Hogwarts, to me it is better. It truly is a magical place. Statistics show that IU Bloomington weaves a similar web over most of its students.
