I FINALLY feel free to talk about my experience here as a Student athlete at IUN. So here it is. If you plan on playing a sport here I suggest being careful. Both the AD's plus the head VB coach were very discriminatory. They don't care about Safety of their student worker or student athletes. Nor do they talk what they preach. I've experienced many uncomfortable situations involving a guy "stalking" me and many other students and SHELTON would go up to my friends that worked there at the time and deliberately tell them I was being dramatic and I wanted the attention and this and that. This was during the summer when No staff were around to even watch us or "work us" Sitting in the booth was my most scariest encounerment because no one was there except for the boy that would not leave me alone. Multiple texts were made to my bosses and they proceeded to say "you'll be fine" I left my shift early because of the fact i was Uncomfortable. I still feel silenced and hurt to this day because I poured my heart and soul into my AD's and they turn around and betrayed me. I was big on supporting student athletes. I was in charge of a task my Assistant AD told me to do. I did exactly that and realized an athlete who had perfect GPA since the minute they came to IUN until the minute they left did not get the award as deserved. I was told i was out of place and was told to stay out of business where business was placed in my hands. The level of disrespect created made me hate this place. Therefore if u plan on being a student athlete here of color. Think twice about your choices. I hope these Pity AD's see this and simply reflect on themselves to DO BETTER and TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR STUDENT ATHLETES. A year later of me graduating and I still hold his guilt not opening my mouth saying what I had to say even knowing what i was to say or do would be shut down in an instant. Anna, Shelton and Alondra. Do. Better. And don't even get me started on VB coach Alondra. Flat out terrible, disappointing, and sad, follower, shows favorites, shows her true colors, discriminatory towards those who are not white or mexican. Do. Better. read more

PNC is the preferred destination. IUN faculty give out not only "straight A's" but "straight A+'s." Some don't even use a textbook. This is pathetic. Your degree will NOT be worth the paper it's printed on. If you want an IU degree, go to IU-Bloomington. IUN is a joke... read more

Don't let the fact that it's in Gary fool you, it's really a good school. The professors were great and the campus is not that big so you don't have to walk miles. Of course they don't have all the majors that the big dawg in B-town has, but it's still a very good school. read more

Indiana University Northwest - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Gary, Indiana

If you're from the area just go to PNC, they basically offer almost all of the same classes. I've been to both schools and once I have enough money to continue my education I will finish at Purdue North Central. Let me just start off by saying that location isn't even the issue here. The issue is the services and the way students are treated. Customer service is awful in almost every department; financial aid, bursars, advising, everywhere. You're better off getting answers from a rock than these people. Not only are they unhelpful, but they are extremely rude. Anytime I ever had a question for anyone, they always acted like I was asking for an arm and a leg. I was given short answers and sometimes no answers at all. I even know people who've been yelled at by the women in the bursars office. It's just awful. As far as professors go, they're alright. They're pretty much just there to get paid and they make that clear from the beginning. Some are extremely rude, and most hate questions. They'd rather just sit in front of the classroom and bullshit for an hour instead of actually teach anything. I could list bad experience stories but there's too many, and I've only attended for a semester. Just go to PNC. It's much safer and the people that work there are much more attentive and kind. The only good thing I have to say about this school is the coffee. It was the bomb. read more

I love this campus! It's a smaller version of the main campus, but you still get that college feel. The campus itself is very safe. It's right off the highway, so if you wanted to go to local popular food chains you can since most of them are off the highway. The food on campus could be better (like a 3.5/5) but most universities don't have quality food anyways so I don't hold that against them. The professors are great! Some are more challenging than others, but they do want you to succeed. They're always available to help when you ask during office hours. There are clubs and student organizations on campus, but you do have to be aware of them. However, the campus does offer what they call "welcome week" during the first week of classes. There you are exposed to all the different clubs and organizations on campus. They have really great (but also really competitive) health/medical programs. Which makes sense because medical sciences are IU's thing. Pricing (tuition, fees, books and supplies, etc) can be a bit expensive. However, compared to other institutions, it's MUCH cheaper. Overall, it's a good school! They've really come far over the past few years. They have a brand new building and currently are renovating the library and outdoor area, so the campus looks much nicer. I'm going into my sophomore year and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my IU undergraduate degree. I know every person has a different college experience, but my time here at IU Northwest is something that I wouldn't trade for anywhere else! read more
