Shilan

Someone open to people with different views and ideas. There are a lot of people with extremely different views and ways of life. It is also a large campus with lots of students, so anyone wanting to attend this college should be open to meeting new people and establishing relationships on the campus. It's kind of hard not to, because although there are lots of people with different views, there are students who can relate to one another. Most important, it should be the kind of person that knows how to balance school and social activities.

Yi

People who like to have fun but also care about academics. The campus is big enough to have all types of people, but usually, the focus is more on social life. Most people here drink and party, but there are other activities organized by campus organizations and other organizations that does not involve alcohol.

Lacy

Really, I believe any type of person can attend this school and still feel comfortable. We have a taste of the city and the country here. The environment in the city and on-campus is very laid-back and friendly, which I think accounts for the wide-variety of people that attend the college. However, I think anyone who wants to succeed in their life and is willing to grow and learn has a better chance of succeeding both at this campus with peers and to feel comfortable in this city.

Courtney

Indiana University is fitting for a wide range of students. A person would have to be interested in attending a large college and being open to trying new activities and groups. I feel that to make a large college work for an individual it is important that he or she find their own niche within the college community. This could be found through such mediums as dorms, greek life and student organizations. Indiana University allows a person to really find their own way and have a true college experience.

Anyone who is not afraid to go outside of their comfort zone. Also, anyone who is focused and can mix pleasure with business. Someone who can turn down a party and stay in for a studying session. A person who knows what they want to do for the rest of their life. And a person who is ready to live and not stay inside! Indiana University is beautiful and has a lot of offer!

Lauren

IU is really a school that anyone can attend. It's got a little bit of everything for every kind of person, although I think someone who is bright, outgoing, and looking to create not only a better future for themselves, but for their entire generation would find themselves happiest at IU.
