Hello,
I would appreciate it if someone would give me some insight as to which school would be preferable to attend: University of Louisville or Indiana University. I am more familiar with Louisville's campus (and am not particularly impressed, but they are in the process of constructing a new instructional building, so hopefully their facilities will improve!). I am hardly familiar with any of Indiana's campus(es), except for pictures online, so if anyone can give me some first-hand info on that, it would be greatly appreciated!
Louisville:
Pros: Nice location, a single, easy-to-navigate campus, friendly people, lower tuition, closer to home (for me), lower student-to-professor ratio, cheaper campus housing
Cons: Small classrooms...not enough seats (has an "overflow" lecture hall), seemed less organized than Indiana, current building construction, put on probation as of today (for a few reasons; see here: http://www.bizjournals.com/louisvil...he-nine-problems-that-put-u-of-l-medical.html) ...I don't know how/if this will negatively affect the incoming and current classes or not...
Indiana:
Pros: Friendly people, very research-oriented, seemed more organized than Louisville, nice location (Indianapolis, at least...I don't know about the satellite campuses)
Cons: Difficult-to-navigate campus...lots of road construction (Indianapolis), doesn't list recent match data on website, multiple campuses (with a "lottery" campus assignment system, so there's a chance of ending up at a campus you dislike), farther from home (for me), higher tuition, did not give a tour on interview day (so I don't even know what their facilities look like), higher student-to-professor ratio, more expensive campus housing
