As the mom of an incoming freshman- thank you so much for actually talking about the locations and dorms. Several other videos are just girls showing the stuff in their rooms. 😫😊

This was SO freaking helpful cus no one else has broken them all down this well/specifically. thanks!

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this video! I’m considering going to IU next year and I’ve been so worried about which dorm I’d be put into

I’m going to IU this fall! Thank you for the info :)

this is so helpful! thank you :) i’m moving there in the fall!

I’m a junior and I would love to go to IUB so I appreciate this :) Thank you!!! Hope I make it in 😅

Hi! I’ve just been admitted to IUB and I was just getting familiar with the dorm situation So i’ve heard people say that Walnut Grove is the most happening and social place to live in I’m not sure if u mentioned about that in the video Can you suggest me if I should consider that dorm or not?

Hi Marisa, thank you for sharing this, it's so helpful. I am the Mom of a soon to be high school senior who will be applying to IU. Would you mind sharing which dorms you lived in and what your favorite was and why? You and my daughter are very similar. : )

I just got in to IU!!!

Hi I’m going to Indiana university for an internship and Dr Rojo said that we will be staying in willkie. Is that close to the gym? Is there a laundry room? What other things are near willkie?

I lived in Collins for two years, and when I was there (2008-10), it was considered one of the cool dorms to be in. It was probably the most selective of any of them. We were kind of the "alternative" dorm, but we liked it that way. After all, we have a gnome as our mascot. The Hogwarts vibe is very true; there's also a pottery studio inside, if you're into that, and in my opinion, it also has the best library of any of the dorms. I feel like a lot of people misunderstand Collins - it could have been more "mainstream," but it would have lost its charm that way. I heard they're trying to change it to be more mainstream, which would be disappointing to many Collinsites. I was a theatre major, and a few others in the department stayed in Collins as well - it was quieter, and Read's design is too much like a labyrinth. We had a lot of folklore students in there, too. Also, I believe Collins is technically part of NW neighborhood (it's an easy mistake to make). I don't know if this is officially true anymore, but when it was first built, Collins was built in three sections, two of which were on the other side of Tenth Street towards Kelley and the Geology Building. At the time, I believe anything built on that side was considered Northwest. When I was there, it was considered Northwest on the map, even though the main building you see when you go to campus is closer to the Central neighborhood. Remember that it's on a slight uphill incline when you walk up to it. When I worked as an OL, we liked to trick a lot of the incoming freshmen with that little tidbit. :) The "Hill" side behind the Geology Building has now been torn down, so that's why I don't know if it still counts as NW neighborhood under the campus maps.

I'm transferring there this fall! this was super helpful thanks! (:

do you tell them about yourself? then get placed with room mates and get assigned a neighborhood?

Does Briscoe have triples?

What is the best for Luddy students ?

My annoying older sister Morgan is a Junior at Indiana University as an accounting major

I was just assigned to a Foster double? Any extra insight you can offer for an incoming freshmen, such as what kind of expectation of privacy there will be, or how the bathrooms/showers will be? Regardless thanks for the video!

Hi!! What na bout Campus view!n

You did not mention the Ashton dorms at all either!

Any opinions/thoughts about Ashton Center?

The nickname you gave to Wright Quad: There is one wing that is all female. The rest is co-ed by floor.

Funny cause I stayed in Forest in '84/'85 and it was an all girls dorm that was nicknamed the virgin vault!!! 😂😂😂

Briscoe Shoemaker...1995 -96...10th floor. We were notorious.

are there any 3 person dorm rooms at IU

I just graduated from IU in 1985. My recollection is that you need multiple ways to kill all the cockroaches.
