The Bloomington experience
Description of the video:
first of all you get off the airplane in
00:02
Indy and you hop on the shuttle and
00:03
you're driving out to the middle of
00:05
cornfields and you think oh gosh where
00:07
am I going but you get to Bloomington
00:13
and you see this huge campus and it's so
00:15
active so many students everywhere and
00:17
it's just I mean it was great I fell in
00:19
love with the campus and I fell in love
00:20
with the culture almost immediately when
00:27
you actually pull into the town of
00:29
Bloomington itself it's just incredibly
00:31
charming the square is fantastic
00:33
there's a wonderful nightlife it's got a
00:35
great cool funky College vibe going on
00:38
Bloomington is a fantastic place to be
00:40
in a plan a fantastic place to study law
00:42
mainly because you're going to find
00:44
everything in Bloomington that you're
00:45
going to find in most other major
00:46
metropolitan areas if you're a foodie
00:49
there are fantastic restaurants here
00:50
you've got Farm Bloomington which is a
00:52
great restaurant focusing on locally
00:54
sourced ingredients and you've got the
00:56
rail where they just make absolutely
00:58
stellar cocktails we also love live
01:00
music you get great live music acts that
01:02
come through here I mean the music
01:04
community here is just so vibrant
01:05
there's always a concert always you know
01:08
faculty playing different recitals it's
01:10
just a great and vibrant and very active
01:12
music environment whether you're into
01:14
opera or jazz or Latin music there's
01:16
just something always going on you don't
01:19
have to go for out of town to get away
01:20
foot although either there's great
01:22
hiking there's great camping
01:24
Blake Monroe is just outside of town
01:25
it's absolutely phenomenally gorgeous
01:27
it's quaint it's a lot smaller than what
01:31
I'm used to there's a slower pace but
01:35
there's an intimate feel and it's it's a
01:37
it's something really grown my favorite
01:39
part of Bloomington is actually the
01:42
campus we have such a beautiful campus
01:45
we have the B line which is great for
01:47
running and getting the community active
01:49
Bloomington is big and has all the
01:51
resources of a big city but yet it
01:53
maintains that feel of a small town and
01:56
the sense of community I think part of
01:58
the reason why the IU our community is
02:01
as great as it is is because of the fact
02:03
that it is in a smaller town you know
02:04
you really get to know everyone that's
02:05
around here and you just kind of form
02:07
like an insular group like almost like a
02:09
family within the school it's not
02:12
difficult to find something to do if you
02:13
want to take your mind off of law school
02:15
but at the same time it's really easy to
02:18
just kind of leave it behind and just
02:20
focus on your studies when you have to
02:22
you always hear the term college town
02:25
but when you get the Bloomington this
02:27
this has to be what a college town
02:29
you're in a community where you're able
02:32
to focus on school and you don't have
02:34
those big-city distractions and it is
02:37
very very conducive to you know your
02:39
academics and there's so much to do and
02:42
there's so much to learn when you come
02:43
to Bloomington you feel like you know
02:45
I'm gonna learn here this is like I can
02:47
grow here
02:49
Bloomington there's nothing I've never
02:51
been to anyplace like
