Bloomington

When it comes down to picking a college, people have many different criteria based on what they are looking for in an institution. For myself, it is not about the frat life and I can care less about the size of the campus. There are three things that really matter to me. The first is the fact that the school offers my major. As a Hoosier that grew up around a basketball, I would love the opportunity to continue my basketball career. And finally the proximity to home, and what is around the town. I have narrowed my school choices to three. The first is Manchester University, a liberal arts school in North Manchester, Indiana. My second choice for college is Indiana University-Bloomington a public university in, guess what town, Bloomington, Indiana. A third option for my next step in education is Anderson University a liberal arts institution in Anderson, Indiana. It may seem like there is not much of a difference between three Indiana schools, but the differences they have may change the perception of my college destination. Major Manchester University Manchester University has a sports management degree that on paper seems to have success for a smaller school, where connections are key for the degree (Sport Management). During a visit to Manchester, I had the chance to meet with Doctor Ryan Hedstrom, a sports management…

Over time we were able to adjust to environment of our conversation. Our individual factors also played a role in our…

I was in 10th grade and in my second year at one of the most prestigious college prep schools in the county; but I was miserable. I chose to attend this school because it impressed my parents and other adults, but I never considered whether the school was right for me. In 9th grade, I focused on my work and did not allow myself to feel the effects of the cold and unforgiving environment. However, in 10th grade my lack of connection to peers and teachers at the school became undeniable. I tried…

Diversity is huge in Bloomington, especifically in my high school. You can find all sorts of people with different backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common; They are willing to accept and adapt to each others beliefs. When I arrived in this community, I step into it thinking that I was not suited to be in this place. Previously, I was living in New York City, and I did not find it comfortable. I was eager to make friends, but the people in my New York neighborhood didn’t seem too…

Entering IU Bloomington as an undergraduate freshman would enable me to begin my journey in trying everything I’ve ever wanted to do; learning how to play the violin, and becoming a virtuoso in the piano and the guitar.

Besides music, however, I would like to try my luck at being an actor, improve my acting skills, my singing ability, and…

Creating a better life for the Bloomington community; attacking obesity with group exercising. Indiana is ranked seventh in the nation for adult obesity states, according to thestateofobesity.org. That means a lot of people don’t work out, matter of fact they barely move at all.

A trio of students are working on changing this in the city…
