Alright, you guessed it. That's right, IU. There is a 90% chance I will be going to IU next year, and joining all you nubblites that are currently there now. So of course I would love nothing more than any words of advice from anyone there, especially on dorms. I have a roomate already and I was told my information regaurding rooming is coming within a week. So, I am asking for comments, suggestions, and anything else.

What happened to Chi-town?

Whatever you do don't live in Forest, its a shithole and black people are crawling out of the woodwork.

Uh yeah, about that. Fuck tuition. Its so much money. The current plan: go to IU for two years, get my assoc. then transfer to Columbia if I still want to go to film school. Who knows what could happen. I could change my mind and decided to stay at IU for all 4 years or I could change my mind after the first semester and transfer right away. We'll see but as of for now, I need to figure out some things about IU.

I like visiting there a lot. The bars are pretty fucking awesome, and the town is nice and big as well. In hindsight, I probably would have gone there if i knew what I know about it now. But that's just me.

My best friend down here just did that exact thing. (See: It's that time of year again) He loved IU, studdied broadcasting then transfered to do full film school.

You will not regret comming to IU. Request Northwest neighborhood, ASAP. It's all based on when you get your housing ap in if you get your priority, so I suggest you do that soon. Also if you are bringing a car, apply for that ASAP. Other than that... yes Northwest neighborhood (Foster, Briscoe, McNutt) and don't get the biggest meal plan, as a matter of fact get the smallest one, nobody can eat it all.

northwest, that what Pliedes said too. I just hope its not too late. If it is too late, then wheres the next best?

Central.

Central is closer to a lot of buildings (library) and northwest is more by the athletic facilities. But knowing what I know and visiting there millions of times I'd go with Northwest because the people are a lot more down to earth and it's a great place to party.

IU is awesome, I wish I would be down there.

But you didn't get in. :-/

-Ugly Bastard

I've been told by some valuable opinions that I will really like it there. I trust I will.

Northwest neighborhood, and nothing else.

yessum.

It's terrible to see a nice girl like farawayfromhere make an awful decision about a higher learning institution.

Eh, I'm just kidding. Best of luck to ya, and to all the other graduating nubblites, with whatever lies ahead.

Thanks schroed, I appriciate it. We'll see what happens.

Hey, people from bloomington, I have a question:
Can anyone tell me the difference between;
Collins
McNutt
Foster
???

Collins is a rare African animal in the Jackal family.

McNutt is a highschool nerd who was picked on by his peers for having a last name that has the word nut in it.

Fosters is a beer.

-And that's my educational post.

Collins - Artistic Dorm (Pretty Stereotypical), but of the 3, id say they have the best location. But ehhhh... the people who live there are very much 'different' from the rest of campus... and I think they do it intentionally.

McNutt - Lots of Jews / Rich People (Not to say anything negatively, but some people don't get along well with them), nevertheless McNutt is very fun, The most party oriented of the 3.

Foster - In my oppinion the best of the 3. They have the nicest rooms, newly renovated. Right accross the street from McNutt.

In my house requests I put Foster first, then McNutt, and finally Collins, sound okay to anyone? You would consider me 'artistic' I guess but not my roomate. Do you think that would work?

Yes. Personally if you preferred McNutt and Foster over Collins, I would have included Briscoe (Where I lived).

Briscoe has a reputation of its own though. If you prefer peace and quiet it's not the place for you.

If you want to be around people who like to party, and get drunk, and be right accross the road from the stadium so you can hobble over there to the games drunk, then Briscoe is for you!

It's not quite as extreme as I made it sound, but I would be lieing if I said it's not the "partyingest" dorm.

Yeah doesn't sound like me. I'm 'artistic' but not over the top. My roomate isnt 'artistic' at all, neither of us drink (as of now) and if/when we ever do it wont be binging or partying. We both go out we just dont necessarily participate.

If she's not 'artistic' at all (dresses attractively), then she will probably hate collins.

ahahahhaa

faraway, who's your roommate?

Hey, I pull it off.
