Indiana University was definitely the cheapest option of the schools that I considered. However, this was not the main reason why I chose I.U. What I.U. had over the other schools was its individualized attention on me. By this I mean I.U. offered me multiple programs to enhance my education. The most notable of the programs offered is the Integrated Freshman Learning Experience (I.F.L.E.). I.F.L.E. is a six week summer program before freshman year where partcipants work in actual research labs. This experience has easily increased my interest in the sciences.

The most obvious reason Indiana University is unique is because of its very large campus. Also, it is known for The Kelly School of Business and other academic programs.

I never considered any other school besides Indiana University, and it was the only school that I applied to. Compared to other colleges, Indiana Univeristy surpasses all; here, the diverse student body have thousands of academic and fun extra-curricular philanthropies, like IU Dance Marathon, which raises money for Riley Hospital. During IUDM, donations are made to Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Hospital. IU students stand for 36 hours for the child patients treated at Riley. Our motto: "Standing for those who can't".

Unlike the other school I looked at IU acctually knew who to send me to to get my questions answered and they knew about the major I was asking about as it pertained to their institution. It was also a lot easier to get around.

The first time I visited Indiana University Bloomington, I knew it was the school for me. IU's campus is like no other Indiana campus I visited. Unlike many universities, IU is not just a plot of land with class buildings, dorms, scarce trees, and parking lots. IU lies at the heart of Bloomington. The historical campus immediately felt like home to me with its natural landscape, thousands of trees, open space, and beautiful limestone buildings. More importantly with a huge student body, large greek system, over 180 undergraduate majors, athletics, art, and music programs, IU has something for everyone.

I think that this school is culturally diverse and offers an array of oppurtunities for its students. There is a lot of verious activities, social atmospheres, and resources available to students.

There is such great diversity that it seems to act as a miniature society. You can find any kind of person there.

At Indiana University there is pasion for the past with all the history that surrounds the Indiana name, especially with the basketball program. However, there is excitment for the future with every student being an essential asset to the school and the campus life. Every student that walks on campus and becomes a Hoosier is treated with the respect and is able to flourish to become and funtioning and successful member of the Bloomington community and perhaps a leader on a global level. The spirit and commitment are truely what makes this University special and unique..

I applied to four Big Ten universities, and out of those Indiana University seemed to have the most laid-back feeling associated with it (which I truely appreciate). Also, the Kelley School of Business stood out significantly compared to the other business programs at schools I applied to.

Indiana students are incredibly warm and inviting for such a large university. The business school is very career oriented doing everything they can in order to secure jobs for students after graduation. Although the classes may be large, the professors go out of their way to make themselves available to the students.

Big school with a small town feel.

The most unique thing about Indiana University is its size and racial diversity. No other schools I considered had such a mix of people, and I honestly don't think I would have been comfortable in a small, racially non-diverse school. It also is a fairly liberal campus in the middle of a conservative state, so it is nice to see different opinions politically among people. The student population here is politically driven and will become a catalyst for change in the future; change is what the world needs and we have what it takes to create it.

That it has such random programs which are top in the country. For example, we have the national Ethnomusicology department here.

The size. I wanted a place where I would have a huge alumni network.

The campus is absolutely beautiful.

It is a very liberal and open campus. There are many artistic and odd opportunites on campus. It is a bigger campus with pretty good sports teams. It also has great research and science facilities to kind of even out the liberal arts side of the campus. Though this is all great the best part is the natural beauty of the campus. It is gorgeous!

I didn't consider any other schools actually.
