Scholarships

Hi, I received this scholarship package as an intl student, Finance at Kelley. The remaining COA would still be a bit high at around 50k.

Is this package the maximum amount for intl students? If not, can I appeal for more?

Should I complete the BlackBaud scholarship smt with 1000 word essay? Whats the usual amount someone gets from there?

Any insight is appreciated!

What do you dislike about Indiana OOS?

It seems like a lot of OOS people are smitten with the business school. Why? No ranking comments please. Give me other reasons. The price tag seems steep for what you get compared to Purdue. What do you dislike about the university itself, social scene and people in general? Do you find the math curriculum challenging? Is the intellectual curiosity of people not as deep as a places like UIUC, Michigan or Purdue because for instance the STEM majors are at Purdue?

Number of beds in a residence hall room

Could someone kindly explain how residence hall rooms are configured at Indiana U? I looked online at the YouTube videos but it is hard to tell as some are very dated. Does Indiana have overcrowding problems and place 4 people in a room? So are there..(1) bed rooms, (2) bed rooms (3) bed rooms and (4) bed rooms? Thank you for an explanation.

In the general scholarship application are they asking you to describe your activity?

https://preview.redd.it/kn33e1jz37ge1.png?width=1486&format=png&auto=webp&s=5395afd11ab528fae2488c4391ec2d3fb778a8d8

Are they asking you to describe the activity after u select the type? Or just write the name of it. OR IS the box only there if you select "other". Pls help.

Also, theres separate boxes for leadership. If I'm say the president of a volunteer club would I list that position in both?

Looking for 2 roommates

Hey!

Two of the four roommates in our house are moving out in August, and we are looking to fill their spots. We are both 21, go to the bars on weekends and enjoy going to the gym and some other hobbies. Our house is a 3 minute walk from campus, and a 5 minute walk from Kirkwood. The rent is 750 + utilities and would be a 12 month lease.

We are looking for IU students or recent grads who would be interested in moving in come August, feel free to pm me or leave a comment to get in contact, thankya!

Where to find the SSA?

Does the Selective Scholarship Application still exist? This may be a stupid question, but I have read about it on Reddit and heard about it from IU applicants of years past; now I am applying for scholarships and I can’t find it. I am a little confused. My older brother is a Hudson and Holland scholar, and he has encouraged me to apply for it too, but I can’t even figure out how. Thanks!

Kelly related question

If you apply to Bloomington do you have to apply as a business or pre business major in order to be able to qualify to guarantee transfer into kelly with the B average? For example could you apple as a history major and take econ classes and transfer? Or could you apply as a history major and declare as a pre business major once u get to Bloomington? Thanks!

This housing situation is a nightmare.

I'm currently a freshman and on monday me and a group of 2 friends got up early to apply for an apartment in tulip tree. Then the system went down for hours and the application never opened.
A few hours later, the housing portal had a notice that said "we expect the problem to be fixed by noon on tuesday" so i stopped paying attention to the application.

then an hour and a half later, it just randomly opened with no warning, leaving us to scramble for an apartment. there were none left.

This university should be ashamed at how poorly it handles communication.

residency

I plan on moving to Indiana but I am under the age of 21, besides doing the typical requirements like living there for a year, getting a job, etc, are my parents able to stop claiming me on their taxes for IU to consider me a resident or do I HAVE do get emancipated for IU to consider me a resident? I can’t get emancipated so i’m hoping they can just stop claiming me on their taxes.

National funding freeze doesn’t impact federal student loans and Pell Grants

Federal student loans and Pell Grants are unaffected by the Trump administration’s attempted freeze on federal funds Monday. Many posts on social media, including inaccurate information from advocacy groups and Democratic politicians, said that funding would halt such programs.

Questions about carry out at dining hall

i wanna make sure i know the rules before i try it. I looked at the website but i wanted to make sure of the rules. With the dining container, i can put whatever i want in it? Like if i wanted to cram it so full of waffles and fries or cheeseburgers it barely closes? (but still closes) or am i allowed to just put one thing in it?

the rules also say you can carry out

*One bowl with cereal, cut fruit, soup, or yogurt *One cold or hot beverage in a cup. *One whole piece of fruit or one dessert item

But is that an "and" situation or an "or" situation. Is it one bowl, and one cup and one desert or is it

One bowl or one cup or one desert. I get super anxous about doing new things so any info is helpful. I dont want to be kicking myself because I missed out on something.

IU Questions

I recently got accepted to indiana university and am definitely considering going. I have a few questions though

1, are people racist/homophobic? I'm black and although i genuinely get along with the majority of people, i've never been up north so i'm not sure. as for the homophobia part, as long as people don't go out of their way to say something hateful, i can respect everyone's beliefs.

2, how intensive is the kelley program? i'm running a business on the side that is my main focus (clothing brand) and i would like to excel academically, and scale my business.

3, how ambitious are the people there? this is very important for me, as i don't like to surround myself with people who don't have some sort of aspiration for their life.

4, what majority of people drink/smoke? i don't participate in any, and i would love to have some friends who don't as well. with such a large campus like IU i'm bound to find someone, however you never know as drinking becomes more and more common every day.

5, dating as lgbt? (wlw) if anyone has their experiences with this, let me know

6, how is campus life? would i need a car? are there things to do outside of campus?

thank you all for everyone who responds :)

Wtf happened to mobile print

I know some people had issues with it at times but man it’s so inconvenient to have to wait in a big ass line every time I wanna print something. They could have at least told us it was going away lol.
