Not bad for being a commuter campus. I feel this campus could use a little more attention from IU for some improvements. However, the instructors/professors are great. Dont let location and size deter you from getting an IU degree.

I loved going to this school. The surrounding location isn't the safest, but the campus police keep the campus safe. I always had somewhere quiet to go and study and had busy places to meet new people and hang out with friends. I went to several schools to receive my bachelor's, and this one was my favorite.

I’m in my 2nd year here at IUN and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I have enjoyed most of my classes which have been both challenging & enriching - wonderful professors. There are plenty of activities & groups to participate in. The security on campus is top-notch. I recommend this University 100%.

Here is what I can tell you about IUN. Most professors there could teach on any campus anywhere. They chose IUN because of its proximity to a big city. Some of my professors were very highly-regarded scholars and I am lucky to have taken a class with them. Class sizes are small, and everyone is friendly (profs, that is). Positive experience.

Surprisingly exceptional school. Took a tour of Bloomington and decided I'd rather go to school at home and IUN suits me perfectly.

If you don't want to waste your money find a campus that will offer you a real education!!!

I hate this place

People don't like to socialize, they just want to go to class and leave. I would recommend that if you have a choice, go to other school. Might be happy.

I left after a couple years. Got sick of the classes that repeated information. I felt I wasn't getting anything out of the experience. It was a waste of time and money, so I left, found a job (not a career, but it pays okay), and I'm pursuing and developing my passions faster on my own. Honestly, though, no university could've kept me enrolled.

location is close but seriously not the best area. would feel more comfortable driving all the way to southbend or even bloomington. but cant beat the 10 minute drive. the constant shootings down the road.
Overall 1.8
HIGHLY do not recommend going here! Faculty (not all, but a majority) are narcissistic, meticulous in grading, and unhelpful in your success. This university extorts every bit of change they can grasp, even during a pandemic. For example, I got charged a distance education fee and lab fee. Both that I had no control over/access to due to COVID.
Overall 1.8
Very limited social events. Most people go to class and get off campus as quickly as possible. I have never been there any later than 5:30 but the campus was pretty dead at that time. Some teachers are awesome while others are not. The advisers aren't the best. Good enough to get a basic degree but for Master's, I would go elsewhere.

Students are not treated well - adjuncts do not know how to teach

If you really want a real college experience, you better look elsewhere.
