Don't go here!! Other people reviewing this college probably attended 5-10 years ago. I attended for one year (sadly) for the Fall semester of 2013 and Spring of 2014. This place is a joke. For $20,000 and such a mediocre education, it is definitely not worth it. Everyone on campus. including professors says "ISU" stands for "I Screwed Up." This means that this was their last resort since this university seems to accept anybody. In English we literally had a whole class period discussing why ISU sucks. The professor even chipped in. A guy got accepted who had a 1.8 GPA. My adviser lied to me in order for me to stay for the Spring semester. Her exact words were "We try to keep the good students here." They all probably leave! The only reason I came here was for the free laptop. If you were an incoming freshman and had a 3.0 or higher they gave you a laptop. Nobody takes pride in this university. During homecoming week there were events that nobody attended and people didn't participate in Spirit Week. Everyone walks around with different college attire on. If you have a car and want to go here I feel bad for you. Parking sucks and it's usually half a mile from your dorm. The food is terrible, the professors don't seem to care about their job. The WI-Fi signal in the dorm rooms suck! How is anybody suppose to get any work done if I can't connect to the Internet?! I stayed at Erickson Hall, the newly renovated one. One professor that attended ISU said that his degree looks like crap since it's from ISU. Not all the professors were like this, but the majority were. They are also rude and seem like they don't want to help. Another professor was always telling us to ask him any questions about any assignment. When I had a question he said "Figure it out yourself." I'm not kidding. And it was during his office hours so it's not like I was holding him up from anything. Another professor flat out said that the people who come here were all the ones who can't get into Purdue or IU. Terre Haute is a crappy place. All the people seem to be unhappy. Downtown Terre Haute (if you can even call it that) is vacant. There are buildings that deteriorating. The bus drivers are rude and always late. The only good thing about Terre Haute is China Garden. China Garden has the best Chinese food in town. It's cheap and they deliver to the campus!! Remember this is just MY EXPERIENCE! But if you do go here remember about China Garden!!
