The Ultimate IU Bucket List

Categories: Indiana University, Arts & Culture, The IU Student Perspective

As an incoming freshman at Indiana University, you learn about the many must-do activities that truly make you a Hoosier. Between New Student Orientation and upperclassmen friends, you're likely to learn about the things you just have to experience during your time at IU and in B-Town. Whether you're a underclassman looking to get the total Cream & Crimson experience, a senior Hoosier soon bidding Bloomington a bittersweet farewell, or a nostalgic alumni revisiting the glory days, use this bucket list to help determine what you've yet to experience, what you've already done, and what you'd like to do once more.

Looking for a B-Town bucket list? Check out The Ultimate Bloomington Bucket List.
