Anyone ever go there? I'm looking into going there for optometry school and was seeing if any ever went there, and if it's a good school or not? [Confused]

Posted by xero (Member # 2001) on :

Anybody? [Frown]

Sorry, I don't know of any Optometry programs anywhere except Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR.

I've heard positive things about it if you're looking at other schools as an option.

IU School of Optometry

I live 15 minutes away from Bloomington, and while I'm obviously biased....I've heard it's one of the best.

This is a beautiful area to live and Bloomington is a very vibrant town.

It's only 50 miles south of Indy and has all sorts of recreational activities available. [Big Grin]

IU BOOOO!!! Purdue Graduate here. Just kidding, though. Don't know about how the optometry school is, but the partying is pretty good. [Big Grin]

I don't know.....I just can't "see" myself going there...... [Big Grin]

But I have a distant cousin who I think used to go there in the mid-80s from a discussion I remember having with her a long while back at a family gathering. Don't know if she ever finished or not, she was book-smart but kinda flighty....I think that shcool's been around for a long time, so I'm sure it can't be one of the sucky ones. Sorry I have no other input.

Are there any good sites for the town? Ive looked at a few but they dont have any pics of it or anything good like that

Mrs Bandit went to http://www.tayloru.edu/
She loved the school, hated the area.. talk about being in the sticks. [Eek!]

Lots of links for things in Bloomington

What specifically are you wanting to find out about?

Posted by xero (Member # 2001) on :

Just trying to find out about the town and if it would be a better place to go to school than the others [Big Grin]

i am looking at that, chicago, which I have lived before and its nice, and fulerton California... trying to find things that would make me wanna go to Bloomington over the others.. [Wink]

Posted by Doug Harden (Member # 1796) on :

The obvious differences are that Bloomington is a small(er) town....are you comfortable in urban settings?

Bloomington is only an hour south of Indy with all it has to offer....it also will have a much lower cost of living.... [Big Grin]

I don't know about how large Fullerton, Ca. is or even where it is..... [Confused]

Chicago winters have to suck.......

I want a smaller town to chill in.. im tired of the busy busy crap.. and no chicago winters didnt suck,... I actually miss the cold and snow [Frown]

Does bloomington get any snow??????

Posted by Doug Harden (Member # 1796) on :

Oh yes, we get snow....and I hate it!!!

Sounds like you'd like Bloomington...why not plan a visit?

Posted by xero (Member # 2001) on :
