The school hits all my requirements: Large scholarships with no stips, solid regional placement (ITE), good curve, strong alumni network, and high quality of living.
Anybody else thinking IUB will be their future alma mater?

I think in the acceptance packet it says the school will help connect you with other incoming 1Ls who are looking for a roommate -- I'd just email them and ask.newyorkqueens wrote:I'm not going to do the summer start because I want to save some extra money / travel before the long haul of law school.
IUB seems like it may be on the rise, and I like being part of that. Does anybody have any information about housing options? Does the school help finding roommates etc?

I'm not sure more money at any of the other schools I've applied to can unseat IUB now.
Anybody considering the JD/MBA?
This doesn't really concern me. It looks like they are giving out so many of these because they were the recipients of a large donation that can only be used on scholarships. I see them using this to boost the caliber of the students and am honored to be part of this incoming class of BAMF (sab0tage wrote:I got my admit packet in the mail a week ago.

This makes me a little suspicious b/c it seems like they are trying a little hard or something. I dont know maybe its just a bruised ego because I am not the only one etc etc.
Does anybody who got admitted with one of these scholarships having any thoughts?
I doubt any other schools to which I applied are going to come close to this, so it is going to be next to impossible to pass up.

I think the first batch of admits probably all felt this way after they found out their large scholarship wasn't that uniquesab0tage wrote:I got my admit packet in the mail a week ago.

I got a call a few weeks ago from a 3L (or recent grad, I don't remember) who left a voicemail and a number in case I wanted to chat about anything. I haven't called back, but I probably should...FromtheD wrote:Yep, I'm 90% sure about IUB. And I also heard about cheap housing!! Hopefully, that rings true, and if anyone has any leads about good apartments, please share. Has everyone gotten the email to put them in touch with a 2L?
holy moley - trying a little hard? Geez, some people are never happy. They always want more money and then a solid school ponies up some serious cash and they get suspicious.sab0tage wrote:I got my admit packet in the mail a week ago.

I'll defer to an alum or a present student, but those with whom I've spoken have nothing but excellent things to say about Bloomington as an excellent place to live. I'm a sucker for college towns so I'm excited at the prospect.stlisforlovers wrote:I'm about 60% sure I'm goign to be in Bloomington come fall. 120k is hard to pass up, and I'm a Midwest girl through and through.
Has anyone been to Bloomington, though? Is QOL good? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I've yet to hear a bad thing about it, from what I've read on here, alums of the university, people who lived in Bloomington... I think QOL is the least of my worriesstlisforlovers wrote:I'm about 60% sure I'm goign to be in Bloomington come fall. 120k is hard to pass up, and I'm a Midwest girl through and through.

Err when is Spring Day? I'm going March 5 or 6. I'm also worried about job prospects (just cuz of Bloomington's distance from any major city), but at least I won't be in a ton of debt.TommyK wrote:Coming for spring day?stlisforlovers wrote: Me, too.

I think it's Saturday, March 25. Not sure what the agenda is, but the 3L that has been calling me recommended attending.stlisforlovers wrote:Err when is Spring Day? I'm going March 5 or 6.

Whoa, how did I forget about this?!? I had been planning to skipping out on some classes and making the 3 hour drive over midweek. But hey, this works perfectly! I'll be there!TommyK wrote:I think it's Saturday, March 25. Not sure what the agenda is, but the 3L that has been calling me recommended attending.stlisforlovers wrote:Err when is Spring Day?

Yes, exactly. I really like that the school is doing what it can to boost its reputation. I'd much rather be in a sea of 90% scholarships than one of few to get a 50% scholarship.newyorkqueens wrote:This doesn't really concern me.

I think it will probably move up the rankings as a result of this, nothing wrong with going to a top 25 school for near-free....
Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
