What is one piece of advice you have for students who are choosing a college?

Explore your options. Visit many colleges and find what is best for you. Talk to your tour guides and ask questions. Find out what they’re doing in their classes, what they love most about the college, as well as what they wish they could change. See if you can picture yourself in the classrooms or studying at the library. It’s difficult to know what you want in a college until you start experiencing it for yourself, so visit many types of schools to find what feels right for you.

What do you love the most about IU?

I love all of the opportunities available to students. You can have so many different experiences.  You can conduct research as early as your freshman year. You can study abroad multiple times and learn about many different cultures. You can even dive into multiple majors and minors so you can explore many of your passions. There are so many options available to you. Even if you’re not sure what your interests are, you can discover them at IU.
