Campus is scenic, safe, and fun. Night life is plentiful, classes to meet everyone's desires, helpful advisors, there are clubs for everyone, and more food than you could ever eat around campus. Overall an awesome place to be, go Hoosiers!

This school is okay. The food isn't the greatest. The campus itself is nice, but the actual location, being in Indiana, is not ideal. This school is so expensive, so with a price tag like that, I expect more.
