What’s it like to be an Indiana University student today? You’ll find out this fall, as a dozen first-year students write weekly updates about their IU experiences. In their own words, they will reveal their thoughts about their academic journey, politics, religion, and life as they face unique challenges.

An array of different first-year students will share their stories—from a medical student at IU Northwest to an IU Southeast freshman who is pledging a fraternity.
