I did not live in the KLLC. Campus is beautiful. Greek life is big but if you’re not involved you will have just as much fun One thing we are missing here are bars we can actually get into underage… lol. It is in the 80s at the beginning of the year which you might think sounds nice but when you walk everywhere it is HOT (obviously not as hot as Austin, though). It started to get cold here about 2 weeks ago. Should start snowing in a few days and I’m very excited about that! Last year we had a mild winter so it wasn’t that cold but who knows how this year will go.
Regarding the acceptance rate, I feel like it doesn’t apply to the Kelley students. The university itself is easy to get into but Kelley is very hard to get into so I would say the competition is higher. That being said, I was scared by the intelligence of my peers at first but this year I have used it more as motivation and I have seen myself excel.
You can get out of classes through AP credits. I got out of English. You will have to take Finite, however. I don’t even know how to explain what it is but it is hard (I took it online over the summer through a local community college).
It seems like every credible site has their own ranking of which business schools they deem the best, but Bloomberg ranked us #4 above McComb’s #6. We have been tied in the past but we surpassed them last school year. http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-best-undergrad-business-schools/
Here’s a link to all of the courses you have to take as a business student at IU: https://ud.indiana.edu/files/pdfs/fall_2015_bus_tab_sheet_master_update.pdf
I suggest you start talking to people on Facebook who are planning on going to either school. There are official pages like “Indiana University Class of 2021” and I’m sure UT has the same. That way, you can get to know the types of people you could potentially be classmates with.
