College life in Terre Haute


Indiana State University (ISU) accounts for a large portion of Terre Haute's population and employment, not to mention its initial purpose, that of educating students. Many people, along with students, criticize ISU. Some say Indiana State is a bad school, and others say ISU stands for "I screwed up." Recently, Indiana State's enrollment has been dropping which has led to less government funding for the university. I think ISU's enrollment is falling because of the university's bad reputation. If students, faculty/staff, and the community change the way they talk and think, ISU's reputation might increase. This situation would cause more students to attend the university, resulting in more government funding. Indiana State University is not a bad school. It is actually quit the opposite. In order to fix the enrollment problem, we must fix the public relations problem first.
