Indiana State University — Attraction in Terre Haute

My daughter is the 2nd child of mine to go to ISU. She fell in love with the campus when my son started there and knew that's where she wanted to go. She got off to a very rocky start. Not even a month into school her Granny's health started failing. The week her Granny came home on hospice, we decided to pull her home because we knew it was going to be quick. She had 1 professor give her a hard time. She made it through that death only to return to her room mate being not very nice. She has recently dealt with the death of her Grandfather only 4 weeks later. Again she returned after being home for a long weekend to her roommate being even worse. This past weekend her roommate essentially told her that her family was visiting for family day and would be in the room. My daughter replied so is mine. Her roommate pretty much told her she needed to not be in there. Total BS! We had already checked into moving her rooms at the begining when this started and was told it wasn't possible. As of today it is finally possible after we told the school either she moves rooms or she is leaving school. No one should have to live like that. It's a form of bullying, and this school just sit back and let it happen for 2 months. This on top of somethings we were told in orientation, that turned out to not be true and during the illness of my mother in law I called to talk to someone higher up about the professor mentioned above, and to this day I am still waiting for someone to return...

I would say I am a little older than the majority of the people posting here given I graduated with a BS degree in 1970 and an MBA subsequently. Although somewhat dated I thoroughly enjoyed my time at ISU and over the years have continued to reflect fondly back on my experiences while there. While now retired ISU afforded me a very good life, a great career in business, and most importantly a beautiful family for which I will be eternally gratefully. At my stage in life I have learned much and one thing is that you get out of life what you put into it. For you younger graduates a word of advice, you will encounter many nay Sayers along the way in life who will criticize everyone and everything while never for a moment looking at themselves. Where ever and when ever you can avoid those type of people, they are not the ones that make the world a better place. ISU was and I suspect still is a great school and all I can say is take ever opportunity you can to get the most from your time spent at...

Parent of ISU student ~so far she is absolutely loving her experience. She is a freshman & lives in student housing on campus. After visiting campuses of 2 other schools & ISU, we all agreed that ISU was the favorite. They have been updating the campus grounds along w dorms, buildings, state of the art classrooms etc.. It's a pretty campus, that has an quaint feel bc everything isn't spread so far apart, which is a definite perk by many ways. Very surprised reading the comments about the school not caring, I'm sorry that was ur experience. As for my daughters we had a 2 major issues, one b4 classes even started and then about a couple weeks later we had another problem and both times I couldn't of asked for anything more. They were very caring, understanding & fixed the issue on the spot!! I still feel like I should send Ty cards to both...
