IU Kelley School of Business afforded a well rounded business education. We had opportunities to get hands on work via simulated business and internships, beyond the rigorous classwork. The breadth of courses offered was excellent and the individual professors demonstrated they cared deeply about their subjects, and their students. I appreciated the in person, cohort format and learned a lot from my classmates. We had opportunities to visit local business for tours and q & a, and also had wonderful...

I attended IUPUI downtown with a close knit group of friends. We held study sessions together, took the same courses, worked together on coding assignments and projects. The computer science classes at IUPUI didn't really teach us the skills or concepts that we needed to apply for real world computer science based jobs. The courses were held by professors who rather prioritized their own individual research than teaching students and graduates the skills that they needed to succeed in the future.... Read More

I would not recommend IUPUI (now split between IU - Indianapolis and Purdue University - Indianapolis for any future computer science majors.).

This school being known for being a commuter campus, is true to its soul. If you live on campus, you should try to live at the tower or North Hall; other housing options make it almost impossible to access student dining on the weekends and are located a reasonable distance away from the main campus, so it's not ideal during the winter if the shuttles are not running. On- campus dining is not that great; it's made me sick before, and other students have talked about bugs in the salad bar. The main... Read More lecture hall, from when I was there, almost every student had at least one class there, and there was a cockroach problem. Most of all if you are looking for a greater sense of community, go to Bloomington. This school does not have a football team, so there aren't really tailgates. There are plenty of clubs to join, but overall, the school lacks student engagement activities that would be offered at a more traditional university landscape. If you want a traditional college experience, go to Bloomington.

I was able to learn a lot at this university, during my time as an undergrad when it was still IUPUI. I did not know anything about programming, but obtained necessary foundational knowledge while attending here. However, after the split, I felt like the quality of the academics went down. A lot of the amazing CSCI professors left and the course offerings were really low. I even met with my advisor once to plan my schedule, and she said there would definitely be more courses added (there wasn't).... Read More Once I finished my undergraduate degree, I went for my Master's Degree since I was a part of the accelerated Master's program. They were still refining the courses, so there were very few classes and some of them did not seem interesting. I enrolled in the ones that appealed to me and still had a great time though. I was able to learn about new tools/software, added projects to my portfolio, got to do interesting research, and also worked with great professors. I would recommend the school in a few years once it gets more stable.

This school was a good fit for me for many reasons. First, they accepted transfer credits from Ivy Tech, where I earned an Associate's Degree. However, the downside was that they only accept a limited number of transfer credits, so keep that in mind if you are looking to transfer. Now, many two-year colleges have specific transfer programs. Second, the Liberal Arts professors were top-rate. It did not matter what class I took, the majority of my professors not only knew the material but had a passion...

Third, the Philosophy program could be better if they incorporated more logic courses (which they recently cut back even more), however, the professors were incredible and always had the time and willingness to meet with students. They have at least two very well known scholars associated with the Philosophy department. My second issue with the program was a lack of historical context. In the four years that I attended (two for my Masters), I did not see any class offered on the classics like Plato or Aristotle. Much of the classes were based on modern Western analytical philosophy.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is a diverse educational institution. It offers various programs and is close to the heart of downtown Indianapolis. It also has four hospitals in close proximity to campus which adds to the number of opportunities on-campus or near campus for student employment. The program I participated in was offered by the Kelley School of Business. It not only allowed me to complete a triple major and double minor but diversify my education, build a...
