IWU was my daughter's first choice school. She had visited there as a junior, saw Rocky Horror Picture Show and fell in love! The campus is very pretty and the academics are top-notch. The Bloomington-Normal area is not very attractive but does have a lot to offer in terms of things to do.

What really sold her though was the musical theater professor, Tom. Really an engaging, enthusiastic guy. She was sicker than a dog on her audition and was not accepted but one of her her good guy friends was accepted and is very excited to be going there. She is very happy now to be going to OCU.

PS: Just to let you know IWU is very selective for girls. I believe they only accept eight total students per year - 4 girls and 4 boys - and the number of girls auditioning outweigh the boys at least tenfold.
