The school’s sports teams are notorious competitors in the NCAA Division I Big Ten Conference, and, since Indiana University does not have a mascot, all teams are known simply as Hoosiers. There are more than 650 student organizations on campus, and more than 5,000 students go Greek in the school’s large community of fraternities and sororities. Freshmen must live on campus unless they live at home with their parents, are over the age of 21, are married, or are pledging a fraternity or sorority. The Indiana campus is tobacco free, though students may smoke in their own vehicles. The Midwestern college town of Bloomington, or B-town, as it is known to many, is home to a lively cultural scene. Arts and entertainment performances, such as the annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, take place year round. Students can explore the surrounding area through the Indiana University Outdoor Adventures program, which coordinates boating, caving, and rock and gorge climbing trips. Active students can compete in the annual Little 500, the largest collegiate bike race in the nation and a fundraiser for university scholarships, or spend 36 hours on their feet in the IU Dance Marathon, a fundraiser for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Other Facts About Indiana University Among IU Bloomington’s many graduate-level programs are the highly ranked Kelley School of Business, School of Education, and Maurer School of Law. Indiana’s law school is an innovative program renowned for its first-year team-based approach, a diversion from the typical legal education. Distinguished Indiana alumni include composer and songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, who penned “Georgia on My Mind;” screenwriter and producer Jeri Taylor, who wrote for Star Trek; and famed dieter Jared Fogle, who served as a spokesman for the Subway sandwich chain. Mission (as provided by the school) The Ideal College Experience Indiana University Bloomington attracts students from around the globe who want the ideal college experience-great traditions, a gorgeous campus, international culture, Big Ten sports, and an active academic climate. Founded in 1820, IU Bloomington is the flagship campus of Indiana University's eight campuses statewide. Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of IU Bloomington and its world-class contributions in research and the arts. For our traditions like the world-famous Little 500 bicycle race and our commitment to emerging technologies, IU was named the "Hottest Big State School" in 2005 by Newsweek, Americas Hot Colleges. We nurture bright minds with an exceptional support network and breadth of programs. For technology infrastructure and support, our campus was named "most wired" among public universities by PC Magazine in 2006. U.S. News & World Report has recognized IU for outstanding freshman programs and residential learning communities, and Time magazine praised our commitment to freshmen when it named IU "College of the Year" in 2001. Breathtaking Campus Thomas Gaines called the IU Bloomington campus one of the five most beautiful in the nation in The Campus as a Work of Art. Most prospective students who see our campus apply for admission. Abundant trees, flowers, and Indiana limestone buildings dating back to the late nineteenth century cover the nearly 2,000 acres of campus. Dunn Woods, the Arboretum, and the Jordan River provide a natural laboratory and breathtaking scenery. Vibrant Culture Bloomington, Indiana, is the arts and cultural hub of the Midwest. While IU's amazing arts and entertainment offerings play a large role in the city's cultural atmosphere, Bloomington is extraordinary in its own right. Bloomington residents and IU students, faculty, and staff form a vibrant, active community that benefits from the metropolitan qualities of a large city and the easy pace of a small town. Student Reviews Reviews provided by: I love everything about my school. A lot of people may think that this is a school that is too big for them, but honestly I can't make it one day without seeing at least 4 or 5 people that I know. The key is getting involved, whether that is in a varsity sport, intermurals, joing a club or by going Greek. Alyssa, Junior Indiana University--Bloomington Being at a large school like IU has innumerable advantages; there are thousands of things to do, ways to get involved, and people to meet. Despite the stereotypes, there is a lot of diversity of interests at IU (I, for one, have never been to an IU basketball game, and I'm not ashamed to admit it). The town of Bloomington itself has amazing cultural opportunities - we get a lot of great bands at the Buskirk-Chumley, a local downtown theater. Although being at a large university means more bureaucracy and red tape, it also means there are more administrators trying to make you happy. My experiences with student government have shown me that administrators are more than willing to take student input into consideration when forming educational policies.

All four were able, thanks to the Fulbright program, to spend time studying and researching their academic disciplines in such locales as China, Hong Kong, Ghana and the Netherlands. Of the opportunity one of Calvin's Fulbright Scholars said simply: "I've found cultural exchange to be one of the most rewarding components of spending time abroad. Even the simplest of conversations with an individual from a foreign culture can impact the way we see the world. Spending time abroad has made that abundantly clear." Calvin also brings cultural exchange to its 400-acre campus in Grand Rapids where in 2009-2010 some 400 students, or 10 percent of the student body, hailed from outside the U.S. In addition off-campus programs take students to more than 20 locations around the globe, including Britain, China, Hungary, Honduras and Spain, while service-learning projects and internships help Calvin students explore their gifts in Grand Rapids and beyond while gaining valuable experience.The Calvin curriculum, including a core built on core knowledge (knowledge of God, the world and ourselves), core skills (reasoning, communication, technology, research and physical) and core virtues (diligence, patience, honesty, courage, charity, creativity, empathy, humility, stewardship, compassion, justice, faith, hope and wisdom) gives the college's 4,000 students a broad and diverse learning experience with majors, minors and academic programs in everything from Asian Studies, biochemistry and engineering to elementary education, youth ministry leadership and speech pathology. In all subjects students explore all things while combining faith and learning in real, meaningful and lasting ways.More than 80 percent of Calvin professors hold the highest degree in their field, while the student to faculty ratio is just 11:1 and the average class size at Calvin is just 22 students.Outcomes for Calvin graduates are good. The college is one of the top producers in the country of students who go on to earn a doctoral degree. And in a recent survey, 96 percent of Calvin graduates reported that they had either secured a job or begun graduate school within six months of graduation.

Now part of the City University of New York (CUNY), Queens College offers a rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences under the guidance of a faculty dedicated to both teaching and research. Students graduate with the ability to think critically, address complex problems, explore various cultures, and use modern technologies and information resources. The college has one of the most diverse student populations in America, with students from more than 140 nations. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Queens College was named one of the nation's hottest and most interesting colleges by the 2008 Kaplan/Newsweek How to Get into College guide. The guide especially praised the college for providing an exceptional education to talented people of all backgrounds and financial means, many of who are the first in their families to attend college. Located in a residential area of Flushing, Queens, America's most ethnically diverse county the beautiful campus consists of 77 acres lined with trees surrounding grassy open spaces and a traditional quad. The college boasts state-of-the-art computer and science laboratories, a spectacular music building, and the six-story Rosenthal Library. The major classroom building, Powdermaker Hall, is completely renovated with the latest technology throughout. The administration is committed to making the college a home away from home for its students with over 100 clubs and teams, from the Science Organization of Minority Students to clubs for theatre, fencing, environmental science, and martial arts. The only CUNY college that participates in Division II sports, Queens sponsors men's and women's teams and has some of the finest athletics facilities in the metropolitan area. The college continues to expand its wireless capability, open new cafes and dining areas, update the Student Union and other buildings, and embark on a variety of beautification projects to enhance students' experience on campus. Academic programs are organized into four divisions, which offer both day and evening courses: Arts and Humanities; Mathematics and the Natural Sciences; the Social Sciences; and Education (Queens College educates more teachers than any other college in New York City). The college offers over 100 undergraduate and graduate majors, including a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese, a Bachelor of Arts in Classics, Bachelor of Business Administration degree with majors in finance, international business, and actuarial studies, and new degree programs in Graphic Design, Neuroscience, and an MFA in Creative Writing. Queens College participates in two CUNY programs that offer students free tuition and other special benefits: Macaulay Honors College, a challenging program open to the most academically gifted students, and the Teacher Academy, an exciting teacher education program offered to academically strong students majoring in mathematics or one of the sciences. An Honors Center with lounges and labs was opened for students participating in the college's various honors programs. The college's centers and institutes serve students and the larger community by addressing society's most important challenges, including cancer, AIDS, pollution, and racism, as well as celebrating the borough's many ethnic communities. The College's arts scene is vibrant thanks to the new Kupferberg Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, which brings together the college's academic departments in the arts (Music, Drama, Art, and Media Studies), and its museums (the Godwin-Ternbach, the Queens College Art Center, and the Louis Armstrong House Museum). The celebrated Evening Readings Series has brought some of the world's finest writers to campus. The College opened a new residence hall, The Summit, in Fall 2009, which houses approximately 500 students. Student Reviews Reviews provided by: Queens College is pretty cool in the sense that you get what you want from it. If you want to just blend in, then there is more than enough people to allow you to do that. And if you want to be seen and do something special, there is also enough space that you will stand out and shine. As an athlete I spend most of my day in the Fitzgerald Gymnasium. Although the building is very outdated and the locker rooms leave little to be desired, it's still my home away from home. The college is working hard to have the whole building redone, and hopefully within the next few years there will be a lot of changes done to it. =) Rachel , Senior CUNY--Queens College When I was a senior in high school I was convinced that there was the perfect school for me. That school was not Queens College. I was sure that I didn't want to go to a commuter school because I didn't want to live at home. My mom made me apply for more than just the one school that I really wanted to go to, QC was one of those schools. At first I didn't accept when I got in, instead I chose the other school. I was at that school for a short period of time before I had to come home. That was when I decided to go to QC. I had never been there before getting accepted, and I was surprised by how much I liked the campus. When I thought of a commuter school, I definitely did not picture QC. One of my friends once described it as a piece of the country come to Queens, and she was right. Aside from the beautiful campus, I have found that QC is everything that I ever wanted in a college. The classes are interesting, and the people are really nice. If you need help, there will always be somebody there to help you.

Seton Hall combines the resources of a large university with the personal attention of a small liberal arts college. Its attractive suburban campus is only 14 miles outside of New York City, with the wealth of employment, internship, cultural and entertainment opportunities the city offers. Seton Hall students - who hail from all 50 states and 67 countries - choose from a wide range of majors, including communication, business, diplomacy, nursing and education. Seton Hall's emphasis on academic excellence has led to a marked increase in the number of students and professors chosen for prestigious academic awards. In 2008, Annick Routhier-Labadie '08 became the University's first Rhodes Scholar. The number of students chosen for the Fulbright international educational exchange program has doubled, and recently the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Committee for the first time selected multiple Seton Hall students as finalists. In 2009 alone, five faculty members were selected to travel overseas on Fulbright grants. Their projects ranged from teaching documentary filmmaking in Jordan to leading interfaith dialogues in Slovenia.
