SDN

What impressed you positively?

Amazing facilities and rich history. The city of Indianapolis and the campus of IUPUI is amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

Honestly the student ambassadors did not seem happy to be there. When asked "why did you attend IU" they all replied "in state tuition"

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school shares a campus with IUPUI, so they dont really get the benefits of having their own campus. For instance, there is no IU dental school gym...you have to pay to use IUPUI's gym.
