Indiana University- East is similar to your grandmothers house. By this, I mean that it is weird to want to always go back and be there, but you can’t help it. Even the air is so incredibly welcoming. I knew from the second I took a tour it was the college for me, and honestly I’m excited to spend 4 years there!

Chasity

I feel safe at school and I like how the classes are smaller I get more one on one help. I really like how much the professors are willing to help and how they give you their cell phone number so you can text them when your at home if you have a question you didn't think of in class.

Matthew

Great school with great academics. I would recommend the school to anyone that is looking for a school to attend. They have great professors that are there to help their students learn. Easy access to and from classes as well as close on-site housing.

Karlie

Going into college a semester late, I was nervous that I wasn't going to be able to find my place in school, but going to IU East complete changed my mind. The campus is so easy to navigate and the faculty is extremely helpful, from the professors to the campus police to the dean of students all the way to the cafeteria workers. IU East has given me a place to excel in my academics and my social life, with tons of resources and help centers along with many student activities. I have made lasting friends and life-long memories. I'm happy to say that IU East is the college for me.

  3. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    Indiana University East is a small school in a non-major city in a state that is ranked 22nd overall in education by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). There are limited financial resources, a complete lack of student housing, few dedicated study spaces, low interest in the arts, and a pituful library. However, there are faculty here who are passionate, esteemed individuals (I've studied under two Fullbright Scholars, an NEA Fellow, and a Pushcart Prize-winning writer) and who care a great deal about their students. Stick it out. The school is growing, be a part of it.

  5. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I don't have classes on Fridays! This is one of the advantages of it being such a small school. There aren't many students so there isn't any need to jam every day full of classes to accommodate everyone. The other thing is that I have a personal relationship with all of my professors. They know us all by name, not by ID number.

  9. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    If you need help with anything, there are always people there to assist you. We have tutorial services in math, reading, and writing, as well as student support services to get one-on-one individualized tutorin, and supplemental instruction where a previous student attend a certain difficult class all semester and holds study sessions to assist any students who can come. These are all great ways to get help as well as taking part in them for your own income. I have worked in all areas and love it!

  10. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I would have known how different life would be. It is a commuter campus, so I really wish I would have taken into account how awful it would be to drive 40 minutes to class every day. If I got a do-over, I definitely would have invested in an apartment near campus from the start to better integrate myself into the campus life.
