The biggest piece of shit of a school. Shouldn't be considered a college. A complete joke. The advisers don't help you at all. They tell you it's a good school but it's absolutely terrible. In the middle of a the ghetto (Gary IN) but they insist that it's safe. yeah bull shit that's why there were at least 4 assaults on campus this past year. Don't ever go here if you are in this area and have to stay home for a year I highly suggest going to Purdue north central, Purdue cal or even Ivy tech over this pathetic excuse of a college.
(real situation)
Student: "What classes do i need to take this semester that will help me achieve my goal to graduate as this major at Indiana University Northwest?"

adviser: "i can't really help you with that you need to figure that out on your own."

... really why the fuck are you an adviser

Get the Indiana University Northwest mug.
A cheap college education in the ghetto (a.k.a. Gary, IN) with relatively easy classes and professors who don't care as much as they should at the main campuses, yet still considered as a Indiana University degree.
Person 1-- Hey I'm going to Indiana University Northwest next semester!

Person 2-- Fuck you, I'm going to B-town and get a better education!

Person 1-- At least I pay less than you do in all 4 years at B-town and get easier classes..

Person 2-- Stfu you ghetto hick.

A horrible university located in Terre Haute. The students walk around like zombies waiting to flunk out and move on to Ivy Tech, or if they do stay it will take them 6-7 years to graduate. The campus "security" act like Nazi's, roaming the campus waiting to throw you into Aushwitz because you forgot your parking pass that day. The professors generally just throw some busy work at you and then have their assistants grade the work, often incorrectly. The campus parking is great, if you like parking 15 miles from where you need to go. Oh, and don't forget the millions of dollars the University spends on athletics, wouldn't want to end the 56 game losing streak for the football, basketball, and baseball teams.
Everyone is walking around with a blank stare on their face. I'm at Indiana State University alright!

Why did my tuition just go up again? Oh, because Indiana State needed a bus system, a new recreation center, a new college of education, and a new bookstore. I guess helping actually pay for an education is out of the question.

“Wait, where’s that at?” -The usual response to when someone says they go to ISU. Located in Terre Haute, Indiana, which is a city so bad that the TV show Live P.D is coming here, this university is an absolute pile of shit. ISU holds onto past glories from Larry Bird, who is still the poster child of this school, and really the only reason this university is known. The flight program is the only redeeming part of this abomination. Otherwise go to IU.
Guy 1: “Hey man what school do you go to?”
Guy 2: “Indiana State University”
Guy 1: “Oh so you’re an alcoholic deadbeat?”
Guy 2: “Yep pretty much”

A small, christian college in Marion, Indiana. Not the best surrounding town but good school.

A public university in Terre Haute, Indiana that is usually one's back up school to their back up school. No true academic reputation like the other public schools in Indiana. The only people who will go here are those who never tried in high school, causing them to be rejected by Purdue, IU and Ball State, or college drop outs. Hence why it's acronym, ISU, truly means "I Screwed Up."
Random guy: "Where do you go to school?"
Indiana State University student: "I use to go to Purdue, but I couldn't handle it and dropped out, so now I'm at ISU."
Random guy: "What's ISU?"
ISU Student: "I Screwed Up"
