Good list. Before the sample gates were put in you could drive right in past the student building and Maxwell hall to the back of the Union. I would have added the Nicks, the Irish Lion, and The Runcible Spoon. Like Kilroys, they have been there forever
My daughter just moved there to be with her fiance who is pursuing his doctorate at IU (and apologies to anyone who might've been offended when I called it UI). They grew up in Central California, and I know that as students, they probably won't venture out too often, but when I and his mother go to visit, what are things that might appeal to mobility-impaired old bats?
Venturing out of campus is where u find the gems. As a resident since birth downtown is chalk full of things to do but the best things to do r off campus
Can you give more info ab the school? Is the social scene going to be lacking coming from california. Im taking a look at Kelley School of Business and wondering if I will be able to have a good college experience on campus, or if it will be slow/many students off campus. Thanks!
Lake Griffy sunsets, Old Zoom Floom (abandoned water slide on Monroe), Hickory Ridge Lookout Tower , Leonard Springs, McCormick’s Creek, Cataract Falls, Big Woods (both BTown and Nashville), Village Deli, Z&C (lol), Nicks, Brothers, Tracks (record store), Melody Music Shop (best instrument store i have ever been)
I was pleasantly surprised by the Chinese food options here. I don't have to travel from Louisville to Chicago to get my fix. Bloominton is just 2 hours away
I'll be specific and tell you what I personally enjoyed in each place. Lucky Express Cilantro steamed fish with soy sauce Asuka Combination chow fun Judy's kitchen Roast duck and 3 cup chicken Lotus garden Stewed beef with potato and tomatoes
Seems really boring, if those are the main highlights (well the IU sports may be great), but otherwise it doesn't feel like a town of 85,000. Does the population census include the students? i also heard the city is pretty dead and many businesses close when school is out, so curious if that is true.
You also have a movie theater, a big Mall for shopping, a public library, a theater on campus with musicals or conferences, a fine arts museum on campus as well as an arboretum, a big park with a section for children, sport facilities on campus of course and so many gorgeous trees all over town that give a breathtaking atmosphere in Fall but also all 4 seasons.
@@joshtucker2218 Not surprising and were you partaking in a huge Stromboli? I haven't been there in 10 years but recall the bar maid asking me "Would you like another beer" in a English accent.
Bloomington sandwich co - is very expensive considering the very small portions, they need to really make their portions larger, very disappointing if you are thinking you can get full with 40 dollars for 2 people, surely not!
Why is Indiana state so dead compared to other states in the USA? I am attending there in a way but it's just so disappointed overall. Still prefer it to Ohio though :)

It's a State of farmers. IU is not dead at all but if you prefer New York, it's a different life... Bloomington is a beautiful little town with a gorgeous campus. A great environment to live in.

It’s great, but I got food poisoning there and have never gone back.

Indiana State? You mean the university?
It's a State of farmers. IU is not dead at all but if you prefer New York, it's a different life... Bloomington is a beautiful little town with a gorgeous campus. A great environment to live in.
The only thing I don’t like about Bloomington is all the liberals
LOl, come to Texas! I want to go back.
You don't like smart people
