Mount St Joe's is a nice school. It partly makes up for attending OSU 😉
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like going to a bigger state school for undergrad. I went to a catholic high school and my guidance counselor had me and my parents convinced that I needed to go to a private catholic school for the best chance of success.
All in all I don’t have any regrets. I started off at Marian in Indianapolis but transferred after a year. All good.
I went two years in Bloomington. Dropped out and worked a year. Went back to school elsewhere for engineering. Got a degree in Mech Eng.
I'm not surprised by any of those that said no but I'm surprised by a couple of those that said yes and that they graduated. Have to wonder how they managed that. 😉A lot more yesses than I expected.
I'm surprised at most of the "No"s.
There was a time at the end of the 20th C. and the beginning of the 21st that IUB was...less academically stressful than it has been in other time periods. Graduation was not difficult.

I cherish my time at IUB, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably pick something different. A small school with a specialty in a field I was interested in, I think that would be the choice.

Where did you end up, from a sector or end market perspective?
Agriculture which was automated feeding systems, ventilation, manufacturing of such. Then into sales work, now in circuit boards.
@unclemark Not much. Have seen the name around farms. We were not the same line, we conveyed from those big galvanized hoppper bins filled by the local mills.

Sort of the same but very different, I went to a small consolidated school with a graduating class of around 50. I couldn't wait to get to someplace where I was just a number. I passed on opportunities to play basketball at small schools and while it killed my dad, I'm glad I did.
You would have been fine at a big public university, assuming you had the study habits. My 4.5 years in Bloomington are some of the best (and worst TBH) of my life. I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

@hooky Same but I didn’t really have many hard times. I studied but wasn’t really stressed about making excellent grades. I mainly loved the social aspect and sports. I grew up a lot there. Loved making friends from all over the country. Had dinner last weekend with a group of 12 college friends.
Question I have is this.
Which one of you butch ass lesbians was driving around Bloomington last week in a Suburu Outback with the sweet custom plate IUWINS?
That plate deserves to be on a vehicle like this.
The funny thing about this "did you attend IU-B?" discussion is that if you have two degrees from IU-B they cancel each other out and you actually have none.
In that way you're actually less of a Hoosier than someone who attended one of the directional campuses like IU-Northwest.
My favorite class at IU. Sorry for the water stains, Glenn…

It's pretty simple. Google it.
