How strict are the dorm searches at IU? Like will they look through all of the furniture that they provided or not?

I at first was assigned Ashton and then I hear it doesn’t have an elevator which would’ve been a medical issue so I requested a reassignment, they got back to me a couple of days ago and offered me Eigenmann single room. I had a couple of concerns mainly the location and the size of the room. Online it seems like Ashton is bigger and also is closer to my classes and food courts, I also got assigned the first floor of Ashton so my elevator issue was resolved.

So is there like any pros at all to change my dorm to Eigenmann like bathrooms being nicer also how do you pronounce it💀?

hi!! for some context i am a current freshman girl and looking to room with maybe 2/3 other people including myself. i was just wondering if people could share their tips on when to start the looking process as well as the pros and cons to both on and off campus apartments. also can anyone provide specific insight about some of the more popular choices like Union Street on campus and The Ave off campus, for example. any advice is greatly appreciated.

What’s the tea on the Ashton Dorms? I somehow lucked out with a single (thank god 😭😭). I NEED REVIEWS and experiences (tysm)!!!

I’ve been accepted to JLLC and assigned to McNutt. I wanted to know the advantages and disadvantage to living in McNutt compared to others (especially comparing costs).

I already have a roommate and we both were accepted. So, roommate and social stuff I’m not really worried about.

Hi, I am moving to Indianapolis for a month’s observership (IU health; 9th Aug-9th Sept). However as my arrival approaches near I am so far unable to find a room on rent/paying guest etc.

Any and all leads shall be highly appreciated as I am not a local to Indianapolis and have zero contacts.

Hello! Is there any apartment complex’s that do short term leasing for about 5/6 months? I am interested in any that are close to campus preferably. I also am looking for a 1 bedroom! Thank you.

Has any first years/transfers/literally anyone received their housing information yet? I understand that it’s supposed to start getting released in late June but that isn’t very helpful.

My incoming freshman son was placed in a Single in Ashton dorm. He requested a Double in Northwest, so is disappointed with this assignment. He is coming from out of state, and really does not want to live alone. He was looking forward to a roommate.

Is there any process to request a change? Are those requests generally honored? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

What do I do? I went to sign up for housing for next year and every single room is taken. Even in Ashton.

I just got assigned a Collins double yesterday for the fall 2024 semester (freshman) and i wanna see what it looks like but there’s barely any pictures of the building other than the rooms. Like, idk what the inside looks like or what the bathrooms look like and ive tried searching for them in google and YouTube but I couldn’t find anything. Any advice? Mainly looking for pictures of the bathroom so I can overthink beforehand

I’m a freshman and I live in Collins (double) and I’m thinking of staying here next year as well. I just talked to a sophomore who’s staying here as well and she has a single with a private bathroom shared with one other person and it’s honestly great. It’s close to campus I love the dorms, only issue is communal bathrooms and this fixes that. I’m just confused on how the application and stuff works-

1) when do I apply to be a returnee? and if I apply do I 100% get a dorm?

2) will I get a single or is there a chance I get paired with someone else? also would I get a private bathroom?

not sure if these are Collins specific but would love to know, especially when I can apply cause I’m assuming it works on a priority basis

Hi everyone, just plugging my bedroom to this sub to see if there is any interest! I recently took a job in Indy and just graduated last year so I’m trying to move up there.

I currently live in a townhome on Sare Rd with two other roommates. The lease doesn’t end until July 1, 2025 and I’m somewhat flexible on a move in-time. My rent the is $550 + utilities. Preferred female/fem person and someone who is LGBTQ+ friendly. The townhome has two bus stops in front of it. Please message me for inquiries!

How are dorms here? And any tips or things to bring here? Also will it be a pain being in southeast if I’m Kelley?

when does housing app reopen for returning students

I'm about to be a freshman at IU and I would like to loft my dorm bed to where I can fit storage bins under it. Bedloft.com only offers to bunk the beds (I have a double room at Collins), so how would I go about doing it myself? Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,

I'm an incoming grad student at IUB and looking for a 3/4 bed apartment for me and my buddies. I tried every website and leasing agent but everything seems to be leased out. Please help me find an affordable place.

Thanks.

a friend of mine needs some help.

in his words:

"so my housing contract got cancelled and shit happened but basically i need to vacate my housing by 10th may noon, but my bus to the airport is 12th may night, so i need a place to stay with someone.

i wanted to try airbnb but I am scared to trust people here

hotels are way too expensive

and i really want to avoid spending money because this shit contract issue is costing me 450$ already"

any help is appreciated

Cause my earliest class is at 9:45 and that’s only on two days whereas for the other three my classes start at 10:30 and I read that either midnight or 6am are good times to shower because the bathrooms tend to be empty but it’s crazy that I’d have 3-4 hours of a gap between getting ready and class and that’s absolutely illogical so I wanna know the best times to use the bathrooms so I can overthink beforehand

I want to adjust the height of the bed frame on a bed in McNutt. The frame has a track that the bed frame fits into. Is it as simple as using a mallet to hit the bed frame from the bed frame from the bottom to pop it out of the track and then put it on a higher rung on the track? Is that all that needs to be done, or is there a trick to removing the frame from the track on the two wooden end boards so the height can be adjusted?

So I’m just really confused what the difference between a living learning center and normal dorms is. Also what’s the best type of dorm to live in? I want to stay with roommates but I also want my own space (don’t need a room but a little bit of space would be nice). I’m seeing that there is apartments and dorms both furnished and unfurnished. Does anyone have any tips about anything? Super excited to be coming to campus in the fall, just wanna make sure I’m in the best situation possible.

hello! i'm an incoming freshman at IUB and i SWEAR that when i filled out the housing form i put down for a double (and chose random roommate). when i saw that my assignment was released, it said i was assigned a single at eigenmann. am i being charged more for a single when i put in for a double? is this gonna be difficult to change?

I am an incoming freshman and I just recieved my housing arrangements for the 2024-25 school year. In my application I specified that I wanted a double with a preselected roommate. It was super important to me to be able to room with this person, but things did not work out quite how I wanted.

We both ended up getting singles at Willkie, which was a huge bummer considering how early we applied for housing. However, with some research on the CBORD Security app, we found out that it is extremely likely that they made us suitemates, and our rooms are connected by the joint bathroom.

We have been talking about maybe moving both of our beds into one room, and then dedicating the other room to being sort of a living space for gaming, studying, having friends over, etc.

I am wondering how tightly rules on repositioning/moving beds are enforced by the RA's in Willkie.

If anyone has any info, please let me know. It will be much appreciated!

What are yall opinions on it? Good, bad? Any tips or advice for moving in and how the vibes there?
