On 3/14/2018 at 3:03 PM, agunns said: Thank you! I'm definitely going to still attend the recruitment day because I've never been to Blooomington and I figured it's a great chance to meet some of the faculty in person. But I figured why wait to accept the offer when I know that I'm going to no matter what! You both will LOVE it in Bloomington, unless you need big-city-livin'. My partner did his PhD in English (Brit Lit) there many moons ago and we head over a couple times a year to visit with his old friends, go to music festivals, etc. Lovely and supportive community, both at IU and outside of academe in Bloomington. Congrats! p.s. I applied to IU-Bloomington years ago and didn't get so much as a waitlist spot. Reading your posts makes me wish I'd given it another shot.

Spectacled Spectre Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Congratulations to everyone so far on their decisions! At this rate, I’m 90% sure I’m committing to LSU based on the offer they made me. I’m still arranging a visit to campus in the next couple weeks so I can be totally sure, but they’re far and away the best funding I potentially have right now. It’s very nice after all the waiting to at least be mostly certain about what comes next! a_sort_of_fractious_angel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do really enjoy living in a big city, but don't absolutely need that lifestyle, and I've heard such fantastic things about Bloomington from everyone I've talked to. It's definitely going to a big shift going from a big city to a college town again, but I'm excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
