Working at the IDS is a great experience and the staff is so cool and nice. It's an amazing opportunity to learn and develop skills for a career and life.
Working at the IDS reaffirmed what I learned in class. I love the action in interviewing, writing and editing more than just learning about journalism.
I have been given freedom as a writer, and now as an editor, that I haven't been given anywhere else, including internships.
This summer, Tom French visited The Colbert Report and NPR's Talk of the Nation to discuss his book, Zoo Story. Journalism students on the Bloomington campus have a chance to hear the Pulitzer Prize-winning former IDS editor-in-chief talk about it in person.
Indiana Daily Student writers share their overseas study experiences. Fifteen students from around the world will take you into their lives and give you a glimpse.

Each fall, Bloomington becomes a showcase of international entertainment. The Lotus World Music and Arts Festival, which will take place Sept. 17-19 this year, is an annual celebration of the cultures that make up Bloomington and features a packed weekend of performances across downtown. Expect musicians from across the globe to schedule sets throughout the weekend. Stilt walkers, belly dancers, marching bands and bright colors are all standard. Rather than attempt to describe the cross-cultural phenomenon, this selection of IDS photos from past years of the festival should give you a taste of what to expect.
Just because you’re thousands of miles away from home doesn’t mean you can’t find some of your traditional cuisine. Bloomington has some of the most authentic restaurants and freshest produce around. Fourth Street in particular houses many of the city’s ethnic offerings.

A small card in IU’s reference library was imprinted with a brief definition of the word “Hoosier.” Jeffrey Graf, a reference associate at the Herman B Wells Library, thought its explanation was too brief, so he produced a large file of information and started a struggle that has been on IU’s campus for quite some time.
Welcome to Bloomington. While this new venture might be exciting and full of possibilities, IU is here to help with any challenges you might face. Finding a good support system from the beginning can be vital to your success. There are numerous resources on campus that can help.
More than 40,000 students attend Indiana University, and it can be scary enough to start out at a campus this big when you’re coming from a town just a few hours away. Coming to a completely different country can be terrifying. But it can also be incredibly exhilarating.

Vacations and trips home are nice, but the nearest airport is in Indianapolis. So how do they get there? Here are the options for your student.
It’s hard enough to take care of your own transportation, let alone that of a child who no longer lives at home. We might not have the perfect solution for every travel situation, but try one (or several) of these ideas as a starting point.
Receiving an urgent phone call about your student is every parent’s nightmare. Make sure you're prepared to help. If your child is seriously ill, there are places on campus and around town where they can see a doctor. The IU Health Center is located on the corner of 10th Street and Jordan Avenue The Bloomington Hospital is located right off of campus on West 2nd St.
As soon as students arrive on campus for Welcome Week, they are subjected to alcohol, whether they’re drinking it or not. Many celebrate their newfound freedom from high school administrators and their parents’ authority and “crack open an ice-cold Bud Light,” as the commercial instructs. A few drinks later, incoming freshmen are drunk and ready to make new friends they might not remember in the morning.
