Bloomington is a great college town and IU is a top academic institution. Basketball is a way of life in Indiana and Tom Crean seems poised to return the program to greatness. I was enrolled in the Kelley School of Business, majoring in Finance and Accounting, and the classroom gave me the foundation for a successful career as a management consultant.

I think that it's okay. It's not nearly as good as some of the other big ten and they don't do anything as far as helping with job placement. I think that is one of the biggest problems with colleges, they need to be more dedicated to finding students jobs, internships, etc. I loved being a part of the Greek system and I think that in order to make a very large school, small, it helps. It's a good way to get involved in all the great things about being on a big campus - tailgates, etc.
