Attending college was a dream of mine when I was a child. During my senior year of high school, that dream became a reality when I opened an email informing me of my acceptance to IU-Bloomington. In that moment I became a Hoosier.

A few months later, during spring break, I walked through Sample Gates in awe that this would be the next four years of my life. I opened the doors of Franklin Hall with a smile on my face because I knew in only a few months I would be starting

my journalism career.

When I started my freshman year at IU and joined the Indiana Daily Student in my second semester, I didn’t think that one day I would be writing this letter as editor-in-chief of the IDS to welcome the class of 2028. IU has given me opportunities and friendships that I will forever cherish, though it wasn’t easy starting out.

Starting your freshman year of college can be scary. It’s a new chapter in life, lled with new people and new experiences. It’s a time when

you’re trying to nd your place at a university that has over 40,000 students, and at times it isn’t easy.

During my freshman year, there was a plethora of times when I wished I had a guide, someone or something that could help direct me in the right direction. at is why the IDS produces the Orienter on a yearly basis. In this magazine, you can nd advice to help you navigate campus, the best study spots, activities to do on the weekend, information on IU’s history and more.

You can nd more information and keep up to date on what is happening on and o campus at idsnews.com and in our weekly print edition in the fall.

Freshman year is special, lled with meeting life-long friends and discovering one’s passions in life. I hope this edition of the Orienter can help guide you in your rst year at IU. Welcome to IU, Hoosiers!

A conversation with First Year Experience director Melanie Payne

By Jonathan Frey @byjonathanfrey | jonafrey@iu.edu

The IDS spoke with First Year Experience director Melanie Payne to learn a bit more about what new students at IU can expect and resources they can access. FYE is a program responsible for New Student Orientation, Welcome Week and many events during the year.

R: What can students and parents expect heading into New Student Orientation?

MP: “They should expect and anticipate that it’s gonna be a long day. It’s gonna be a long couple of days, and there’s gonna be a lot of information, but we’re gonna help them through it all. We have orientation leaders. We have undergraduates who will be getting them from place to place, so they don’t have to know the campus yet. When they check in at their assigned time, we get them to their first session. The sessions are

in one location, and we actually physically walk them to their next. We walk them everywhere they need to go on that first day. We will get them where they need to be. We will point out bathrooms and all the things along the way.”

“What’s most important is the family. They’re sending their kid to college, and whether it’s their first one or their fourth one, it’s a big deal. Being a Hoosier is a big deal. We want to prepare them. I think if they can just help us help them, breathe, embrace everything that they can embrace — they will feel so much better afterwards.”

R: I also want to make sure that I ask about what [FYE representatives] do during the academic year and how you’re helping students during the year.

MP: “We have big events and we have small events. We take the photo of the first-year class at the traditions and spirit event. They’re on the field in the stadium where we take that picture, so that’s a huge

event. But there’s also smaller events — in their residence halls, in some of the culture centers, some things in the library. We want to build on orientation, so you’ll start to experience some things that we talk about at orientation.”

“We know a student who starts to get comfortable with people and their surroundings starts to gain confidence. And if you gain confidence, then you’re going to be the student who in class, maybe, will raise your hand. You’ll go talk to a professor. You’ll walk down the hallway when someone’s blasting their music and ask them to turn it down. In fact, research shows that the first six weeks are a really critical time in first year students’ lives.”

R: Where are some places that you see freshmen making common mistakes?

MP: “One of the traps that new students can fall into is assuming what other new students are like and [what they] do. Part of that is assuming that everybody wants to do ‘x.’ Fill in the blank, what the ‘x’ is. Any time you say everybody or nobody, you know, it’s not gonna be true. ‘But everybody parties!’

Well, that’s actually not the case. Student life does surveys about this and it’s really not the case. People think, ‘If I’m not “x,” then I won’t have any friends. If I don’t join this group, if I don’t do this behavior, I don’t have anything to do.’”

R: Is there anything that you would want to leave off with?

MP: “A lot of advice that students give students, that we give students, that anybody gives students is get involved. Get involved. I was in a really good conversation with a colleague recently, and she said, ‘not just get involved, but what does that mean?’ It means different things to different people. And she said, ‘I really want to help students to think about committing.’ So do you commit to your student organization? Do you commit to your campus job? And that’s important.”

FYE will be present at events throughout the year to help engage new students with student organizations and activities. They also run some of their own events, like checkins at the library most Fridays. FYE also helps new students find the resources they need.

Five safety tips from the IU Police Department

IUPD Officer Hannah Skibba shares ways students can stay safe at IU.

By Madelyn Hanes mrhanes@iu.edu

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence and assault.

IU Police Department Public Information Officer Hannah Skibba shared five safety tips for students to remember during their first year at IU:

Update your IU Notify contact information

IU Notify is IU’s mass communication tool used to alert students, faculty and staff to immediate dangers, such as severe weather, hostile intruders or ongoing threats. Students can update their contact information by visiting one.iu and searching “Emergency Notification Settings.”

Download the Rave Guardian App

The Rave Guardian App is your one-stopshop for all things campus safety. The free app, available on Apple Store and Google Play, has a Safe Walk feature that allows students to share their locations with friends while walking to their destination. The app also offers quick links to important campus safety numbers, including IUPD’s non-

emergency line, 812-855-4111. The app also has an anonymous reporting system.

Secure your space

IUPD suggests never leaving your windows or doors unlocked, even for a short period of time, and to not leave valuables like money or electronics unattended in your vehicle. Bicycle and scooter theft is a challenge on most college campuses. IUPD suggests always using a U-lock, a heavy-duty

scooters were stolen during February 2024.

Safe travel

IUPD suggests students always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or scooter and to travel with the flow of traffic. They suggest students obey all road signs and signals, and wear bright colors when walking or riding at night.

If you see something, say something

IUPD immediately. Students can make an anonymous report on the Protect IU webpage. Students can also make an online incident report to Bloomington Police Department.

IUPD is located at 1469 E. 17th St. and is available to assist students 24 hours a day. You can call IUPD at 812-855-4111 or by dialing 911.

The Bloomington Police Department is located at 220 E. Third St. You can contact BPD by calling 812-339-4477 or by dialing 911.

If you have experienced sexual misconduct, including sexual violence, you can file an online report that is found on the protect IU webpage. Students can also contact a Confidential Victim Advocate in the Office for Sexual Violence Prevention and Victim Advocacy, at cva@indiana.edu or 812-856-2469. Students may file a report to any of the following university coordinators: Jennifer Kincaid, Associate Vice President of Institutional Equity & Title IX Coordinator, at 812-855-7559; Laura Mals, University Director of Student Sexual Misconduct Investigations, at 812-855-5419; and Libby Spotts, Director of Student Conduct, at 812855-4464.

How to enjoy Bloomington's festivals

By Lilly Luse liluse@iu.edu

Bloomington boasts a thriving and diverse music community, and two of its biggest musical events are coming up.

Granfalloon Festival

This summer, enjoy live music as part of the eighth annual Granfalloon, a Kurt Vonnegut-inspired music and literary arts festival.

Granfalloon begins May 20 and lasts until June 9. The festival draws in incredible national music acts, such as Japanese Breakfast and The Flaming Lips. This year, the iconic riot grrrl band Sleater-Kinney headlines the Main Stage Concert with The Linda Lindas and My Son is a Hurricane at 5 p.m. June 8 on East Kirkwood

Avenue.

Sleater-Kinney originated as part of the ‘90s riot grrrl, a feminist punk movement, and was an instrumental part of America’s indie rock scene. The band continues to produce ground-breaking punk and released their 11th studio album last March titled “Little Rope.”

Among the many other exciting events, the festival will highlight Bloomington’s own musical talents, such as two jazz sets by IU alumni Anna Butterss and Ben Lumsdaine at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. June 7 at The Orbit Room.

Butterss has toured with Phoebe Bridgers, Jenny Lewis, Madison Cunningham, Bright Eyes and Aimee Mann, and their debut album was hailed by Pitchfork as “one of the most exciting, undersung jazz releases of 2022.”

Lumsdaine is a multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer and founder of Bloomington’s Call and Response concert series. He also engineered, mixed and performed on Durand Jones’s album “Wait Til I Get Over.”

You can also enjoy live music by local artists during the Bloomington Handmade Market from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 8 at the southeast corner of the Monroe County Courthouse. After the market, Girls Rock Bloomington will present The Sera-Tones, a band formed in a Girls Rock camp, as well as a performance from director and founder Amy O.

Lotus World Music and Arts Festival

Come fall, Bloomington will be transformed as the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival returns Oct. 3-6. Lotus Festival will

showcase over 25 artists and groups from around the globe, and unlike other festivals with headliners and assigned stages, the lineup is presented in a non-hierarchical mix of performers and musicians, highlighting the talent and unique qualities of each artist.

To visit the festival, you can purchase a wristband for full access to the festival venues and artists, or you can purchase weekend passes or tickets to the opening concert. There are also plenty of events that extend from the festival that are free of charge, such as the “Lotus in the Park” event with workshops and concerts, a free and interactive Arts Village displaying community-generated visual arts, as well as parades, processions and exhibits.

Information on tickets and lineup will be announced soon on their website.

A guide to productive study spots on and o campus

By Grace Romine gmromine@iu.edu

Studying in your dorm room is not always ideal. It can be pretty cramped, you have limited desk space and there are plenty of distractions: a roommate to talk to, TV to watch and that taunting pile of laundry waiting to be put in the wash.

It has also been proven through scienti c study that alternating study locations improves students’ retention.

College campuses and their communities are tailored to best t the needs of their students. ere are perfect locations to get some work done on and o campus, no matter where you are in Bloomington.

Herman B Wells Library

When I was a freshman, I stayed clear from the Wells Library. It was so big and daunting, and it felt too far away from my ird Street dorm (I realized later in my college career that a 15-minute walk was nothing). But by the end of my sophomore year, I was spending several days a week in the library.

I wasn’t wrong about the library’s size

— with two massive towers, one even reaching 10 stories high, and the myth that every incoming student is told about how the building is sinking, Wells Library is surely intimidating. But once you grasp a better understanding of it, the library really isn’t all that bad.

e East Tower is referred to as “the stacks,” which is where a large majority of the library’s collection of more than 4.6 million volumes is stored. Besides the East Tower’s Scholars’ Commons, the West Tower is primarily where you will be able to study.

Each oor has a di erent purpose. e rst oor is the Learning Commons, with various resources such as Writing Tutorial Services and the Research Desk. e second and third oors are quiet study spaces, the fourth oor has University Information Technology Services support and consulting and group workspaces, and the fth oor has the UITS Student Technology Centers lab.

For independent study, the second oor is the best option. ere is much less noise and chatter than the rst- oor commons and unlike the third oor, there

are windows! Natural light is known to increase energy levels, which can make students more productive and creative.

Eskenazi Museum of Art Café and Gift Shop

e Eskenazi Museum of Art, located in the Fine Arts Plaza, is one of the most special xtures on campus. Designed by I.M. Pei, the same architect who created the glass pyramid entrance to the Louvre in Paris, France, the museum is a work of art itself.

e museum’s open space provides several di erent study spots. Take a walk up the rst ight of stairs and you will nd the Newkirk Café and Gift Shop. Find a spot at one of the many tables available within the café, right o the stairs in the atrium or even on the patio outlooking the Cox Arboretum. Use your CrimsonCard to get a specialty latte, bagel or chocolate croissant, among many other choices, for a little bit of academic motivation.

If you need a break from studying, lock your things into one of the rst- oor lockers and look at some of the exhibits and collections that the museum has to o er.

Keep your eye out for works by Picasso and Monet, among many other renowned artists.

Soma Co eehouse and Juice Bar

If you are looking for the perfect spot to study on a rainy day, Soma’s Kirkwood Avenue location might be the right t for you. Something about its building’s soft lighting, historical charm, friendly sta , eclectic decor and encompassing menu make it the right spot to cozy up with a warm co ee, or a smoothie if you prefer, and get some work done.

e Kirkwood Avenue location works best for independent study, but if you want to bring a friend, consider its east location on ird Street, just steps away from the southeast campus neighborhood and with many more windows, much more natural light, larger tables, more variety in workspaces and seating and the same menu with options for anyone to choose from. One of the locations is destined to work for you.

Soma also has a third location, a little farther from campus, at 581 E. Hillside Drive.

Bloomington’s best photo spots

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

Looking for places to take photos for your rst Instagram post as an IU student? Check out these Bloomington-favorites:

Sample Gates

Are you really an IU student if you haven’t gotten a photo in front of the iconic Sample Gates? Built in 1987, generations of IU students have posed in front Sample Gates for photos to celebrate milestones from their rst day of classes to graduation. Of all the places on this list, Sample Gates is by far the most popular. While there are usually many people trying to take photos with the structure at any given moment, it’s worth a visit.

Rose Well House

e Rose Well House, located near the

Indiana Memorial Union and in the Old Crescent area neighboring Dunn’s Woods, is another popular photo spot. e building, built in 1908, is one of the oldest structures on campus. Many students and alumni buy into the superstition that if you kiss someone in the Rose Well House at midnight on Valentine’s Day, you will be together forever. e Rose Well House has a Gothic stone and glass design and allows visitors to look into Dunn’s Woods while inside — features that make it a great photo location.

Luddy School of Informatics

While the exterior of the building might not show it, the staircase and top oor of the Luddy School of Informatics, located at 700 N. Woodlawn Ave., provide a great photo opportunity. e building's many windows means the lobby and upper oors are lled

with natural light. When you walk in the front doors and look to the ceiling, you will see a sculpture made of di erent sensors and computing parts. is art piece, called the “sentient sculpture,” is sure to give your photo a unique touch.

Herman B Wells statue

Incoming IU students should also stop by the Herman B Wells statue at the pavilion near the Rose Well House and IMU for a photo. e life-sized bronze statue was built in honor of former IU president and chancellor Herman B Wells. Wells was monumental in transforming IU into the leader in research and academics it is today. He also pushed for racial equity and desegregating IU’s campus. In addition to taking a photo, be sure to shake Wells’s hand to have good luck during your career at IU!

B-Line Trail

If you love looking at art pieces and murals, the B-Line Trail is the perfect photo spot for you. e B-Line Trail — a paved running, biking and walking path — runs from Adams Street to Country Club Drive, a total of 3.1 miles. Along the trail, visitors can nd various picnic tables, fountains, sculptures and murals. e murals are colorful backdrops for sel es or group photos.

Monroe Lake

Want the perfect sunset photo? Monroe Lake may be the ideal spot for you. Monroe Lake is Indiana’s largest land-bound body of water, and there are tons of beaches, trails and recreational areas to choose from. e lake is less than a 30-minute drive away from campus.

How to find a tutor on campus

School can be hard — but there are plenty of resources to help.

By Tory Basile @torybasilee | vlbasile@iu.edu

No matter what you study in college, you’re sure to have a class that teaches you the importance of asking for help. Whether you’re adjusting to a college-level workload for the first time, or simply taking a really (really) difficult class, here are several options for tutoring and academic support.

Academic Support Center

The Academic Support Center offers free tutoring, advising, study groups and more at three locations right on campus. Students can visit either Briscoe Quadrangle, Forest Quadrangle or Teter Quadrangle for individual writing help or small group math help. Services are available 7-11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday during the semester. A Zoom link for tutoring is available during

How to apply for scholarships at IU

The

IU Office of Scholarships can help students navigate and apply for scholarships.

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu | @MiaHilkowitz

Paying for college is expensive and a massive financial investment for most IU students. Luckily, IU provides millions of dollars in scholarships for students each year—but, you need to know how to apply for them. Read more about how to navigate your IU scholarships.

IU’s General Scholarship Application

Each academic year, the IU Office of Scholarships encourages students to submit the General Scholarship Application by Feb. 1. This scholarship allows the Office of Scholarships to review general IU scholarships for students throughout their academic career. To be considered for many first-year scholarship opportunities — including scholarships from the IU Foundation and IU Alumni Association — you need to fill out the general application. To apply, students can select the IU

Scholarships widget on One.IU to access the application, which takes around an hour to complete. The application includes a short essay and a series of questions about your academic and extracurricular involvement.

Departmental Scholarships

Most academic departments and colleges at IU also offer their own scholarships for incoming students. While you can find some of these scholarships in the results of the General Scholarship Application, some awards have separate applications. For instance, The Media School awarded more than $490,000 to students for the 2024-25 academic year, but students had to fill out a separate application in January.

There’s no one correct way to search for these scholarships — sometimes your college may send out an email about opportunities, and other times you might have to search a department’s website. However, one way to get started is by searching on the Office of Scholarships

departmental scholarships website.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid

The IU Office of Scholarships also recommends students complete the FASFA each year while they are enrolled at IU. IU and other colleges use the FASFA to determine if students are eligible for federal loans, grants, work-study programs, state financial aid and university-specific scholarships. The priority consideration deadline for Indiana residents is April 15, but each state has their own deadline. You can complete the FASFA on the Federal Student Aid website.

To learn more about IU scholarships and how to navigate the application process, students can read the IU Office of Scholarships’ Frequently Asked Questions page. You can also contact the office to meet with a scholarship expert by emailing scholar@iu.edu, calling 812-855-5779 or visiting their office in the Student Academic Center on North Union Street.

COLUMN: How to budget in college

Learning to save money now will help you forever.

By Vincent Winkler @vinceisonline | viwink@iu.edu

One issue that I think is ubiquitous among college students is the stress that comes with budgeting and saving money while in school. College, while it allows you to experience freedom like never before, creates situations where you could overspend. There may be an exhibit you want to visit on campus, so you’ll have to pay for entry fees, but what if there’s a movie your friends want to see later that evening, too? What about the upcoming football game and dinner? A lot of choices create difficult decisions, but creating a budget and simply an overall plan allows you to gain control over your life in college.

The most important thing to think about

when considering your finances is asking yourself what you spend money on the most. Besides food, what are some types of items you can’t live without? What hobbies do you spend the most on? Focus on what you find yourself doing most frequently, whether it’s reading and collecting books, curating an extensive selection of beauty products or anything else that defines you. The name of the game is to create your budget with these types of purchases in mind while excluding most other unnecessary purchases.

Next, you should think about your income. Do you fully support yourself financially, or do you have other sources of income? Do you have a full-time job or work a few hours at the campus library per week? These are some questions to consider

because they determine how large or small your budget should be. If you have a difficult time managing both work and school, you should work fewer hours but also spend less. This doesn’t mean excluding every nonnecessity purchase but limiting most solely for necessities.

What comes in tandem with this ideology is the simple task of creating a list of your fixed and variable sources of spending. Fixed expenses are costs that usually never change each month, like rent or car payments. Variable expenses, on the other hand, are expenses that do often change each month and don’t have a predetermined value, like groceries and gas. The difficult part of budgeting is that it forces you to cut out some variable expenses, which no one wants to do. However, the sooner you get familiar with this practice, the more responsible you’ll be for not only the remainder of college but for life after school, too.

Once you do this, begin tracking how much you’ll earn for the entire month; this can be done most easily by writing down what you plan to earn for each given month. You’ll get a very good estimate of what you can and can’t spend money on. This budget will consist of your net income, or the money you earn after taxes are deducted. Once you calculate how much your fixed expenses will cost, factor in your variable expenses, as well. Cut out things that will be unnecessary or won’t fit your monthly goal. If you have leftover money to spend, consider putting it in savings.

Budgeting for the first time can be a daunting task, but like most tasks in life, once you do it for the first time, you’ll find it much easier to do in the future. Once you learn how to adopt responsible habits like these and balance your school-work life, you’ll be able to spend money without stressing — and this will be a huge weight off your shoulders.

“Budgeting for the first time can be a daunting task, but like most tasks in life, once you do it for the first time, you’ll find it much easier to do in the future.” — Vincent Winkler

COLUMN: Places to get lost in Bloomington

Check out these interesting places around IU’s campus.

By Pehal Aashish Kothari pehkoth@iu.edu

Whether you’re an art fanatic or not, museums are the perfect place to learn a little more about culture and art, a great afternoon activity when the weather’s being naughty, or if nothing, a place to get lost and find your prince charming!

My first semester on the IU Bloomington campus was also my first time living in a small town in the U.S. Coming from a bustling city in India, not having things to do in and around the area was extremely challenging. The first month in Bloomington left me feeling perplexed and rethinking my decision about coming to this college town to study. However, I soon took it upon myself to find things to do and places to visit.

Here’s a list of museums I found peace in during the first semester of havoc as a college student.

Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University

This one’s not far from home at all. Actually, it’s right under our noses. Situated opposite to the Showalter Fountain, in the Fine Arts Plaza. The museum showcases over 45,000 pieces ranging from Greek pottery to works by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet. Designed by I.M. Pei, the architect behind the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, the museum itself is a work of art, with the entire structure consisting of no 90-degree angles except where structurally necessary. Admission into this museum is free of cost for IU students, making it a perfect midday activity.

Kinsey Institute

This dynamic research center and archival collection, located in the Old Crescent area of IU, is world-renowned for research, historic preservation and education programs exploring sex, relationships and one’s wellbeing. Situated right next to Dunn’s Woods on campus, the institute’s collection includes artifacts, photography, archives and a lot more from six continents that span 2,000 years of human history. This institute is also one that can be visited for free by students at IU.

Lilly Library

The Lilly Library is a book lover’s paradise that can be found right on campus, in the Fine Arts Plaza. With over 450,000 books, 8.5 million manuscripts and a variety of cultural artifacts, this library is a center of cultural enrichment. A permanent item on exhibit that can be found at this library is the Gutenberg Bible, which was printed before 1456. Other notable items include “The Canterbury Tales” and George Washington’s letter accepting the presidency of the United States. This library is

not just free for students to visit but is also one of the best places on campus to spend an evening studying during finals week.

University Collections at McCalla

Located a little further ahead of the Collins Living Learning Center, in the historic McCalla School, University Collections is home to eight gallery spaces. These public galleries showcase a myriad of rotating content curated by professionals, faculty and students from across IU. Admission into the University Collections is free for students as well, making it a great spot to visit every couple months to view the ever-changing range of artwork being displayed.

With most museums and institutes being free for students of IU, museum visits make for the perfect activity for college students who are searching for something to do while taking a break from studying without having to watch the bank balance plummet to the ground. I for one found my home studying at the Lilly Library and continually visiting the Eskenazi Museum on campus every chance I got.

Words of Wisdom from the IDS staff

The IDS staff discusses joining clubs, pushing yourself and challenging your expectations of college.

Isaac Perlich, news reporter:

Natalie Fitzgibbons, editor-in-chief

Believe in yourself. Looking back at my freshman year as I am going into my senior year, I wouldn’t have thought I would be where I am today regarding academics, accomplishments and friendships. In your four years of college, you may change your major, add on a minor, fail and lose friendships. However, through all of those misdirections, life is directing you onto the path that you are meant to be on. With that said, it can be difficult at times: you may lose some self-confidence, compare yourself to others and get scared — which is completely normal. Though know that it will be okay. Even in the toughest of times, you have to believe that you can do it, because you can.

If you can find time in between classes and other involvements, I highly recommend getting a job. I had two jobs during my freshman year—IDS staff writer and IU tour guide—and both were a great way to meet people, develop skills and earn some money. Better yet, both jobs were on campus, so I could walk everywhere. Your schedule may become chaotic, but your bank account will thank you. As I enter my sophomore year, I am eyeing a third job!

Lilly Luse, arts editor:

When you’re a freshman and you don’t know anyone yet, guess what? Neither does anyone else. Don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation and ask someone to hang out. Join as many extracurricular activities as possible and you can make friends that you share a common interest with and find a community where you get to do what you love. Come to college with an open mind. Your plan for your major or dream career will change and slowly come into focus over the next four years, so don’t be afraid to try something new or out of your comfort zone. At IU you can study pretty much anything you can think of, and there is probably a club or student organization where you can make friends and build skills outside of class, so go for it! Be bold and you will have so many amazing experiences and memories to look back on by the end.

Jack Forrest, managing editor of content:

Try as many new things as you can. Have you ever considered learning a new language? Sign up for a class! Do you want to try pickleball? Pick up a paddle! Take that course. Join that club. Go to that event. College, and especially your freshman year, gives you an unmatched level of freedom and opportunity to broaden your horizons. You can learn so much about yourself and meet new friends by trying new things. Although you may not always end up loving what you try, the good news is you can always check out something else.

Daniel Flick, sports editor:

Take advantage of the opportunities IU presents — as early as possible. Time goes by fast, and during your decision process, I’d like to think you were intrigued by Indiana’s ability to further your career. Capitalize on it. You can make your college experience whatever you’d like it to be, but by the time you’re a junior or senior, I truly hope you can look back on your first few years with satisfaction that you put yourself in a better position to land that job you’ve always wanted. The scariest place to be is the same place you’re in right now, a year from now. Bettering your career starts now, and IU is an awesome place to do it. So, I’d say: do it!

Mia Hilkowitz, special publications editor:

Don’t be afraid to get involved with extracurriculars and clubs early in the semester. While it might seem like a scary thing to do when you’re adjusting to classes, I found joining different organizations allowed me to find a great support system and get out of my dorm. Also, it’s a great way to meet new people on campus.

Jonathan Frey, news reporter:

Don’t expect everything to come at once. It’s been said many times that college is the greatest time of your life. Sometimes, that can feel like an expectation, not a hope. I know that when I was a freshman, I didn’t find a group of friends or a favorite activity right away. It took time, and it felt crushing to me when I wasn’t having the great time I was “supposed” to be having. Fast forward a year, and I still don’t have everything figured out, but college is the greatest time of my life so far. I’ve found close friends, valuable work experiences and clubs that make me feel like I’m a part of something. Don’t think that you’re failing at college if you’re not having fun right away. Don’t think that there’s only one way to succeed as a college student. You will find your way at IU and in the world.

COLUMN: IU’s influential figures

Here are some of the most famous names to know at IU.

By Vincent Winkler viwink@iu.edu

Academic excellence is something IU has stood for since its founding in 1820. With over 200 majors and an extensive alumni network, the opportunities for learning are extensive and continue long after graduation. IU offers over 80 language programs, the most in the country, and is home to arguably one of the most famous campuses in the U.S.

With such an impressive background, and standing as one of the greatest public academic institutions in the country, IU clearly has the capacity to teach each new generation to the highest possible standards. However, what contributed to such a legendary status? There have been many figures in IU’s history that you should be aware of, as some of these people created

the institution as we know it today and some were a product of it.

Herman B Wells

When discussing anything related to the history of IU, the name Herman B Wells must be mentioned. The 11th president and the first chancellor of the school, Wells transformed a small-town school into one of the most well-known institutions in the country. He began his legendary career by teaching economics at IU and immediately started climbing the ladder of hierarchy due to his dedication and commitment to teaching. He was soon offered the position of acting president and, in 1937, agreed to take it on the condition he would not be considered for the official position, as he felt unprepared for such an enormous task. He did end up taking the position,

Elinor Ostrom listens to a question at a press conference Oct. 12, 2009, in Bloomington. That same day, she won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for her work that demonstrated how “ordinary people are capable of creating rules and institutions that allow for the sustainable and equitable management of shared resources.”

however, and soon IU began its transformation. e student body nearly tripled in 30 years of his administration, and Wells led a campaign to help end segregation at the school. He spearheaded a mission to end segregated seating at dining locations across Bloomington, namely the Gables, which had previously only been open to white students. Even after his presidency ended, Wells remained university chancellor for 37 years.

Bob Knight

Bob Knight is another legendary icon of the university. One of the most successful coaches in college basketball history, Knight was a erce leader recognized by his unique coaching style and passion for practice. One of his famous quotes went, “ e key is not the 'will to win' ... everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.”

Although the former coach is beloved by many current and former IU students, he was also subject to criticism and reprimand during his time at IU. In 2000, IU red Knight after CNN Sports Illustrated released a story where former Indiana player Neil Reed alleged Knight choked him during practice in 1997, in addition to other abusive patterns of

behavior during his tenure at IU.

Knight is still remembered as a legendary IU coach, boasting a record of over 900 career wins in Division 1 basketball and is the sixth all-time leader in career wins in college basketball. He also received two gold medals for coaching Team USA in the 1979 PanAmerican Games and 1984 Olympics. He was inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.

Elinor Ostrom

One of the lesser-known names but one of the most signi cant is Elinor Ostrom, a Nobel Prize winner and political scientist. She graduated from UCLA and moved to Bloomington to teach at IU, and in 2009 she won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for her work that demonstrated how “ordinary people are capable of creating rules and institutions that allow for the sustainable and equitable management of shared resources.” She was the rst woman to win the prize.

ese gures show just how in uential IU has been in the development of outstanding faculty, researchers and coaches, amongst many other leaders throughout its long history.

Looking for a gym at IU?

Here are some of the best options

By Daniel Flick

dan ick@iu.edu | @ByDanielFlick

College can be a strenuous time, and nding outlets to get away from the books is important. One of the best ways to do so is working out, a luxury IU presents to its students through a pair of gyms.

e Student Recreational Sports Center and Bill Garrett Fieldhouse each boast various methods for getting in a quality sweat, both in terms of equipment and sporting options.

e SRSC, located on East Law Lane and a manageable walk from each dorm, has over 500 pieces of strength and cardio equipment, headlined by treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, stationary bikes and an indoor running track.

ere are also ve basketball and volleyball courts, the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center Olympic-sized pool, indoor pickleball courts and outdoor courts used for both tennis and pickleball.

e Bill Garrett Fieldhouse, built centrally on campus at 1025 E. Seventh St., has 10 basketball courts and is a popular spot for pickup games. As for gyms, Bill Garrett o ers two strength and cardio areas, the indoor Royer Pool, an indoor running track around the perimeter of the basketball courts and an open-use dance studio, among others.

Access to both the SRSC and Bill Garrett Fieldhouse is free for IU students upon scanning your CrimsonCard. Sports equip-

ment like balls and rackets can also be rented for free with the card.

Roughly 20 additional gym options exist o campus, including several prominent chains.

CrossFit has two bases in Bloomington: Hoosier CrossFit and CrossFit Bloomington. e former builds prices around individualized plans and motives for each customer while the latter charges $159/month for three sessions per week and $189/ month for unlimited sessions.

For those who live on campus but want a gym within walking distance, Orangetheory Fitness on Kirkwood Avenue is a strong option. Orangetheory, less than a halfmile from the Sample Gates, o ers rowing, strength and cardio sessions and has three pricing options: basic ($69/month), elite ($109/month) and premier ($119 rst month, $169/month after). Orangetheory has another branch on the opposite side of campus, this one on East ird Street.

As for larger franchises, Bloomington is also home to a Planet Fitness on West ird Street and an Anytime Fitness on East ird Street. Both gyms are open 24 hours a day. Prices at Planet Fitness start as low as $15/month on the classic, unlimited access plan, while Anytime Fitness has a $99 down payment and charges $26.99 biweekly thereafter for the 12-month plan.

Gyms aside, IU is a quality campus to run, with scenic views and a heavy dose of sidewalks. Be it students or locals, you’ll likely encounter a runner at some point each day while walking to class.

Whether you like lifting weights, running, playing sports or anything in between, IU o ers a variety of options both on and o campus to satisfy your exercise needs throughout the school year.

IU students’ favorite places to eat off-campus

When you get tired of dining hall food, check out these student favorites.

By Isabella Vesperini isvesp@iu.edu

Bloomington is home to hundreds of restaurants and cafes, with Forbes even calling the area an “unlikely epicenter of eclectic global cuisine.” When you get tired of dining hall food this year, explore some of IU students’ favorite places to eat off campus.

Senior Bianca Benedek loves going to Yatagarasu, a ramen place located at 430 E. Kirkwood Ave., as well as Italian restaurants Da Vinci (250 S. Washington St.) and Osteria Rago (419 E. Kirkwood Ave.).

“I’m such a pasta person,” she said. Benedek also enjoys going to Le Petit Cafe, a French restaurant located at 308 W. Sixth St., which is usually open during the spring and fall.

“This little French lady runs it,” she said. “It has the best crepes.”

She also often eats at Do Asian Fusion Cuisine and Lounge, an Asian fusion restaurant located at 404 E. Fourth St. She usually gets Korean barbecue chicken bites.

“They also have this weird dessert,” Benedek said. “It’s like fried bread with sweet sauce over it; it’s so good.”

Emma Pawlitz, a junior, said she enjoys

eating Mexican food from Viva Mas (2550 E. ird St.) and La Una Cantina (254 N. Walnut St.). She also likes Da Vinci.

“Da Vinci is good when it’s not crowded and you don’t have to wait a long time,” Pawlitz said. “But it’s still worth it.”

She also likes going to Sakura 15, a Hibachi place located at 895 S. College Mall Road.

“I get steak and fried rice and sushi,” she said. “It’s delicious.”

Junior Marnie Sara said she likes going to the Little Italy Market, located at 412 E. ird St.

“ ey have sandwiches on homemade bread, like chicken and turkey sandwiches,” she said.

Sara also likes eating at Happy ai Restaurant (519 S. Walnut St.), La Una Cantina and Gables Bagels (421 E. ird St.).

Sophomore Robert Cardellino said even though he doesn’t eat out too much, Juannita's, a Mexican restaurant located at 620 W. Kirkwood Ave., is his number one favorite place to eat.

He also likes going to di erent places on Kirkwood Avenue, such as Chipotle and Five Guys.

Donovan Eidenback, a junior, said he likes going to Mother Bear’s Pizza, which has two locations in Bloomington at 1428 E. ird St. and 2980 W. Whitehall Crossing Blvd., and Culver’s at 1918 W. ird St. He also loves Z & C Teriyaki and Sushi, located at 430 E. Kirkwood Ave.

“Z & C is my guilty pleasure,” Eidenback said. “I spend way more money there than I probably should.”

He always gets the combo.

“It’s like two or three meals instead of one,” Eidenback said.

Freshman Lizie Maher likes eating sushi at Restaurant Ami, which is at 1500 E. ird St.

“I like to have a break from the dorm food,” she said.

Jagjit Athieo, also a freshman, said Turkuaz Cafe, located at 301 E. ird St., is his favorite place to eat.

“I get a Turkish cake covered in yogurt,” he said. “It’s solid.”

Athieo also likes going to Chipotle because of how convenient it is.

Meet Bloomington-based band Six Foot Blonde

By Jay Sharma sharja@iu.edu

Easily one of the most notable musical projects to emerge from Bloomington in the last few years, Six Foot Blonde has managed to attract a steady following thanks to their addictive melodies. e band was formed in Bloomington, and their sound comes from a blend of indie soul and retro pop music.

In April 2023, the band released their rst EP, “Tino’s Place,” a six-track record containing new songs and previously released singles. I wasn’t sure what to expect from such a short record, but it exceeded my expectations.

“Tino’s Place” explores multiple di erent themes, and no two songs sound the same. After listening to the entire record in one sitting, the rst and probably most important observation I made was that it was acoustically very well produced. Each track’s sound is rhythmically in tune with what the song’s energy is, and I was impressed, to say the least.

The band Six Foot Blonde is pictured March 2023. The Bloomington-based band released “Tino’s Place” on April 28, 2023.

The first track, “Callin’ to Karma,” is a single released in 2022 and the first the band ever put out. Starting out the EP with this commercially successful single was a no-brainer — the track explodes with infectious energy, and its light-hearted exuberance creates a very upbeat atmosphere. This track also showcases the dynamic vocal performances the band has to offer, and I feel that it served its purpose as an introduction to the record perfectly.

The second track, “Red Wine, White Wine,” is nothing short of phenomenal. This is my personal favorite from the record — nothing else comes close to it. This track is much slower than “Callin’ to Karma,” but its four-beat pianistic foundation is sure to keep listeners hooked. Oddly, it sounds like

something I would expect from a band like Mother Mother, which is probably why I’m so impressed with this track.

“Nora”, the third track, is slow for the first four minutes. Coming in at almost six minutes in length, “Nora” is the longest song on the record. Compared to everything else on the EP, this track is more melancholic, or so I thought. The last two minutes are a frenzy of energetic bursts, almost as if the first half of the song were an extravagant buildup to it, albeit a slow buildup. The only criticism I had here is the track did seem repetitive at some points, but the lyricism and acoustics easily made up for that.

“Tino’s Place,” the namesake track, is a purely instrumental tune — one minute and 25 seconds of saxophone. This short

track length is a notable contrast to observe. Calling it soothing is an apt description. I would personally mark this as the halfway point on the album, as the band’s sound shifts slightly in the two tracks that follow this.

Penultimately, we have “Lady,” another previously released single from 2023 and the fifth track on the EP. This track picks up the saxophone-centered groove that “Tino’s Place” highlighted, and slows down around the halfway mark, in contrast to “Nora.” This slower point has a catchy riff that I must applaud, and it leads into what I believe to be the best-sounding chorus on this record.

Finally, “15 Months” is the sixth track overall and arguably the most versatile one.

“15 Months” starts off with a comforting acoustic guitar chord progression, reminiscent of “Nora.” This final track is a strong conclusion to this EP, and the lyrics paint a melancholic and solemn picture. From lines about “Blueberry fields” and “lemon trees,” to “The drawings on your walls... through the thin walls of this home,” listening to “15 Months” was truly a serene experience.

Overall, this EP was a great investment of my time. Having only formally produced music for two years now, Six Foot Blonde shows how impressive it is for a diverse range of sounds to be stretched across just six songs. The band’s performance on a full-length album could undoubtedly push them to even greater heights.

Need support? IU offers mental health resources

By Tory Basile vlbasile@iu.edu

Everyone can benefit from extra help.

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence.

It’s no secret that adjusting to college is overwhelming. Life on campus offers new opportunities to learn, seek independence and grow up — but it also means moving away from your support system, adjusting to challenging coursework and figuring out your place somewhere new. For plenty of reasons, college is hard on mental health. Here are some mental health resources offered by IU to support students navigating college life.

IU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers free mental health

services to students who have paid the student health fee, which is included in most undergraduates’ registration costs each semester. Before students seek treatment with CAPS, they will first have a short consultation appointment with a CAPS counselor to create their personalized care plan and determine next steps. To schedule this consultation, call 812-855-5711.

Individual counseling

CAPS offers individual counseling sessions to students who need help navigating an issue. While there is no specific number of sessions students can have, CAPS notes its counseling is focused on offering short-term solutions. For students who need long-term mental health care, CAPS will help connect students to other resources.

Students looking to manage their mental health with medication from a CAPS psychiatrist must have a referral from a CAPS counselor.

Group counseling

For students looking for community support, CAPS o ers several di erent group counseling options, including some speci cally for graduate students. ere are short-term support groups to talk about speci c coping skills or long-term support groups to help students navigate larger struggles like grief, illness and relationships. To attend a group session, students must rst attend the free initial consultation appointment with a CAPS counselor.

Drop-in workshops

CAPS also o ers class-style workshops led by mental health professionals. ese workshops teach students a variety of ways to manage both mental health struggles and the di culties of daily life. Examples of previous workshops include a session on how to practice mindfulness and meditation, a class on understanding how media impacts body image and a session about facing procrastination and avoidance. Several workshops have been recorded for students

to watch online anytime. Check them out on the CAPS website.

Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS)

SACS is a part of CAPS sta ed by counselors who are specially trained to help people who have experienced sexual violence. SACS is for anyone who has experienced sexual assault or abuse, dating or domestic violence, sexual harassment, exploitation or stalking. It o ers crisis consultation, individual and group counseling and referrals to medical care. SACS can also help students report abuse to the university or to law enforcement.

Let’s Talk: Multicultural drop-in support space

Let’s Talk is a program for students to chat casually with a counselor about what’s on their mind. is is a less formal option than o cial counseling. Students can drop in to CAPS, as well as its partner locations around campus, to talk about whatever they like — with no pressure to come back. Partner locations include all IU Culture Centers.

Everyone can bene t from mental health resources. Visit CAPS’ o ce at the IU Student Health Center or check out its website to learn more.

Movies showcasing Indiana University sports

By Vincent Winkler viwink@iu.edu

There are only a handful of universities in the elite Division 1 that can boast about such accomplishments as having won 25 NCAA team national championships, maintaining a nationally-known basketball program, having a men’s soccer team with eight championships, 24 varsity teams and the most famous in-state rivalry in the history of Indiana sports. Even if you visit Bloomington once, you will quickly discover its rich history of sports and just how prestigious the Hoosiers are.

Some of IU’s most famous moments in sports history have been documented through various films, some of which are staple movies in the world of sports

media. If you’re a newcomer at IU and want to learn more about the pride of cream and crimson, here are some films to check out.

There’s no better place to start than with one of the most famous films in IU history: “Breaking Away.”

This 1979 film, directed by Peter Yates, documents the significance the Little 500 cycling race has in Bloomington. It is attended by over 25,000 people annually. The movie was filmed in Bloomington and on IU’s campus. As you watch, you’ll notice some key landmarks, such as the Indiana Memorial Union. Boasting a title as impressive as “The World’s Greatest College Weekend,” the Little 500 is an event you will not only want to watch, but attend, as well. “Breaking Away” is available to rent on Amazon Prime.

Another film about the Little 500 is the documentary “One Day in

April.” This brutally honest movie features riders as they prepare for the race and the planning that goes into such an amazing event for a great cause. Originally created in 1951 by former IU Foundation President Howdy Wilcox, the Little 500’s purpose was to bring the community together and to raise money for working students’ scholarships. The film stresses the importance of what the race means, not only for IU but for nonprofits as a whole. “One Day in April” is available to stream on Kanopy through the university.

The last staple movie that captures the essence and rawness of IU’s history of winning is the sports drama film “A Season on the Brink.” It documents the legacy of former IU men’s basketball coach Bob Knight and how he became one of the most significant coaches

in college basketball history. Nicknamed “the General,” Bob Knight was a force to be reckoned with and often had bursts of anger displayed at games that made national news coverage. This film shows how much effort he put into developing the greatest basketball program in the country and shows how much he wanted to win.

“A Season on the Brink” can be purchased on DVD on Amazon. These signature films document some of the greatest moments in IU’s history as a leading university regarding sports and efforts to bring the community together as one. These movies show the heart of IU and how the unwavering fanbase strives to be a part of something much bigger than themselves.

Next time you’re in the mood for a history lesson about IU, these films are the best place to start.

Your guide to buying textbooks at IU

IU students have plenty of options when buying their textbooks.

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu | @MiaHilkowitz

The first time you are tasked with finding a textbook or novel for class, the options may seem overwhelming. Depending on when you need the book — which is often listed in a class’s syllabus — you may impulsively buy it on Amazon without looking at alternative sellers. From the IU Bookstore to local libraries and booksellers, here are some places to look for your next textbook.

IU Bookstore

One place to start your search is the IU Bookstore. On the IU Bookstore website, you can search for and view required course ma-

terials by entering your 10-digit university ID. If your instructor has added your required texts into the library system, you can pick from used and new versions of the book. The IU Bookstore sometimes allows students to rent titles — meaning students pay a lower price and return the book at the end of the semester.

The IU Bookstore also offers price matching against Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other sites. If the IU Bookstore stocks a textbook and the retailer advertises a lower price, the bookstore will adjust the price. However, all match prices must be transacted in-person at the campus store. You can find more information about IU’s requirements for price matching on the IU Bookstore website.

For more information visit the IU Bookstore website or the IU Bloomington location in the Indiana Memorial Union.

IU and Monroe County Public libraries

Local libraries are another great (and free) option for finding your textbooks.

The IU Library system includes more than 11.5 million items — including 60,000 academic journals and 1.9 million eBooks — meaning there’s a high chance students will be able to find their required texts within the university libraries. You can start by searching your title in the IU Libraries database, which will show you the library building, stack, floor and call number the book is located in. The database will also show you if IU

offers a digital version of the book.

Additionally, the Monroe County Public Library System — which has three branches located in Bloomington and nearby Ellettsville — offers students thousands of books. To access all of the library’s titles, students living in Bloomington can apply for a free library card online or at one of the MCPL branches. You must be able to provide a document to verify you currently live in Monroe County, such as a bursar statement.

To find your required text, you can search the title and author in the MCPL catalog. The catalog will then show you if the book is available, which branch it is available at or if the library offers a digital electronic version.

The downside of getting your textbooks

from IU Library or MCPL is there is a time limit on how long you can borrow the book. At IU, student loans are limited to 45 days. At MCPL, book loans are limited to 21 days.

Local independent booksellers

Some students also buy textbooks from Bloomington’s locally owned, independent booksellers. While purchasing from independent sellers might end up being more expensive than purchasing an item on Amazon, your purchase supports the local economy.

One popular bookseller in Bloomington is Morgenstern Books, located at 849 S. Auto Mall Road. Morgenstern Books has a title selection like what you might see at a Barnes & Noble, but with more books by local authors. You can search the store’s website or call the store at 812-676-7323 to see if they have the book you need.

Another independent bookseller is the Book Corner, located at 100 N. Walnut Street, a short walk away from Sample Gates. ere is not an online search option for the store’s availability, so you would need to visit in-person to nd a title. However, if the Book Corner does not have the book you need, you can ll out an online request form and the store will special order books for you.

Your guide to IU’s dining halls

Eating at the dining hall is a large part of the first-year experience.

gmromine@iu.edu

Whether you love or hate to cook, are a picky eater or always willing to try something new, it might determine whether dining halls are the worst or best experience of your freshman year. No matter your approach, navigating the dining hall is critical and knowing the options you have to choose from is the first step.

The following six dining halls all accept meal scans, which are unlimited on weekdays and, depending on your meal plan, weekends.

The big three

Out of all the dining options you will have to choose from, the two largest will be McNutt and Forest, both all-you-care-to-eat dine-in locations on opposite ends of campus, but with very similar options.

Both McNutt and Forest dining halls are made up of 10 different micro-restaurants.

The Clubhouse is a build-your-own sandwich bar, like a Subway, where you can choose between several different types of bread, protein, topping and condiment options. Heartland serves hearty dinner options, or what they call “midwestern comfort foods” — items like mashed potatoes and barbeque.

Medley is a salad bar with soup options that vary each day. Scratch Cafe serves breakfast options every day from waffles and cereal to eggs and hashbrowns. Slice offers pizza with several variations of toppings by the slice, fired in a brick oven. Spice Road offers Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern dishes, including Japanese and Indian cuisines. Stone Grill serves authentic American dishes, including cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches and French fries. Lastly, for a final course, there’s Just Desserts, which serves treats from cherry pie to soft-serve ice cream.

Exclusive to McNutt is the Pasta Bar, which is exactly what it sounds like. The Pasta Bar serves traditional Italian dishes with selections changing daily. Exclusive to Forest

McNutt Dining Hall, located within McNutt Quadrangle, is in the Northwest neighborhood. It’s closest to Briscoe, Foster and Walnut Grove Center dorms. Forest Dining Hall, located within Forest Quadrangle, is in the Southeast neighborhood and is closest to Willkie, Read, Spruce and Wells dorms. Both a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends.

taurant that includes bowls, burritos, nachos and quesadillas — very similar to Chipotle or Qdoba. Both dining halls also offer food free from the nine proteins that trigger allergic reactions — egg, fish, milk, peanut, sesame, soy, wheat, tree nuts and shellfish. These allergen free foods can be found at Free From IX in Mcnutt and Worry Free in Forest.

The third best option for the most choices in a traditional dining hall format would be the Bookmarket Eatery, located in the basement of Wells Library. The Bookmarket Eatery also has The Clubhouse, Medley, Just Desserts and Spice Road. In addition, the library dining has The Breakfast Cafe, which serves traditional breakfast and lunch options, and Herman’s Coop, which serves chicken and french fries every day.

The Bookmarket Eatery is closest to the Central Neighborhood, including Ashton, Collins, Eigenmann, Teter, Union Street and Wright dorms. The Bookmarket Eatery is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

Carry-out weekday only dining halls

Goodbody Hall Eatery, located within Wells Quadrangle, is a carry-out-service din-

tions. For breakfast, Goodbody offers breakfast meat, scrambled eggs, potatoes and oatmeal. It also has a yogurt bar, various cereal options, bagels, toast, breakfast pastries and waffles. After breakfast, Goodbody has an allday salad bar and different hot-meal options for lunch and dinner.

Goodbody is close to Ballantine Hall, the Biology Building and the Chemistry Building. It is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and closed on weekends.

Collins Eatery, located within Collins Quadrangle, offers similar options with weekday hours from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Collins is close to Woodlawn Field, Myles Brand Hall and the Geological Sciences Building.

Read Hall Eatery, located within Read Quadrangle, offers five different micro-restaurants to choose from. Read also has Medley and The Breakfast Cafe, but also serves Mediterranean dishes from Mezze, American and Middle Eastern barbeque from The Pit Stop and burgers, chicken sandwiches and more from Sear No Evil. Read Hall Eatery is closest to Spruce, Forest and Willkie dorms, as well as several Jacobs School of Music buildings. The dining hall is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays.
