My daughter is also OOS and will be a freshman (if IU is the school she ends up attending). Her first choice is Sports and Society thematic community which is in Northwest. Her first residence hall location is NW and her second thematic community is Outdoor Adventures (not the LLC) and it’s in Central. I’m hoping wherever she lands, she’ll be able to balance her dorm life. If she continues what she’s been doing throughout her h.s. years, she’ll be okay. I honestly don’t believe that everyone messes up over NW. I bet you woudn’t either. :)

Is the NW neighborhood really as bad as I’ve read about? I am going to be a freshman at IU, coming from OOS and want to meet people. Would NW be a good fit, or is it really hard to study there? I read on a previous thread that everyone from NW either “goes greek, fails or drops out.” Obviously thats an exaggeration but is it really that bad?
